After 5 relapses I stopped counting, weighing myself and started giving into extreme hunger yesterday. I actually feel hopeful, tbh eating hurts but I know now it will not last forever, I am learning still how much food my body actually needs and I am malnourished. I am determined to actually recover, not just improve.
this is something i needed to hear :)) i’ve been thinking about recovery for a month now, i’ve even started seeing psychologist! but i can’t bring myself to actually start getting my life back. fortunately, my psychologist will talk with my parents soon (because i’m still a teenager) and i hope it will motivate me to start this wonderful but difficult journey. whoever reads it, you’re amazing and keep pushing yourself forward on your way to get peace with your body, with food and yourself! good luck and have a lovely day
Let nothing hold you back to live the life you’ve always wanted to live and don’t let your Ed live your life for you! What are you waiting for? You can do this
i’m so proud of you for considering recovery and for being so kind in your message to others ♥️ i wish you all the best in your own journey 🥰 recovery is worth it, i promise !
I just want to say, my girlfriend has found this channel, and its making the recovery channel a lot easier, having someone to relate to and get some advice off when times are hard, so thank you for making this content for her, both me and her really appreciate it
This was so helpful wow thank you, you are such a role model and you have got my deepest respect for how far you have already come because you didn’t gave up! Wishing you the best for your future and even more strength and hope, lifepower and self love ❤❤
I clicked on this, thinking you were about 15 (nothing wrong with a baby face I am the exact same) and not expecting too much due to how old I thought you were. But wow, thank you so much! You say everything with such depth and experience, this vid has really helped me :)
love this! such an important video with a great message and helpful content. thank you so much milly ❤️ i have to admit that i started crying like three times throughout this video simply because the thought of recovering is so terrifying and i’m not sure i could actually do it, but deep down, i know those thoughts are just the ED lying to me (because in spite of that, i still don’t feel sick enough at all, of course…). i have an appointment at the ED unit in august so hopefully that goes well and maybe i’ll actually be able to get my life back soon! anyways, thank you for an amazing and encouraging video, like always xx and to anyone who reads this and is struggling, i really hope you’re able to push through and either get started or keep going with your recovery. i believe in you! you’ve got this
this is such a kind message ellen, thanks for writing this 🫶🏻 i don’t think anyone ever truly feels “ready” for recovery - i know i didn’t! but i knew i didn’t want to live life like i was 🤍 i truly hope your appointment next month goes well!! if you ever need anything my dms on insta are always open. and thank you for your kind words to others, that is so thoughtful of you 🥰
@@millyisliving aw, thank you milly! that’s so true, i don’t feel ready at all, but i am quite sick of living this way and know that i can’t keep doing this forever. thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. you’re the sweetest ❤️
I really needed to hear this, I'm in recovery from ARFID and there are no people anywhere that can help me as its not really known about to have this ED so I'm having to do it all myself without therapy or meal plans or a treatment team which is really hard and I always feel like I can't do it, but this video really motivated me to try harder and put my all into recovery. Thank you for this ❤️
oh gosh yes!!! arfid is so under represented and under researched. at my old work place i assessed someone with arfid and even my supervisor (a mental health professional) didn’t know what it was!! i believe that you can throw yourself into this recovery despite that, i truly believe you can overcome this 🫶🏻 and i’m always here for you x
I was doing so good in my recovery alone, now I'm relapsing again :( I don't know what to do, how to do, if i'm doing right or wrong, I'm just too stressed and anxiety is killing me! I'm feeling so alone and confuse.
it’s ok to acknowledge that recovery isn’t a linear process, and it’s ok to slip up along the way ❤️🩹 i know you can get back on track tho angel, we’re all rooting for you 🫶🏻 always here x
I don't mean to be a meanie and I'm not just talking about this video, but it kinda bothers me that so many videos are titled "ED recovery" when it's obviously directed towards anorexia and do not apply to all ED's. I feel like it just further implies that Anorexia is the one true eating disorder. It's a really great video and an important video but unfortunately for me it feels excluding. Just name the video Anorexia Recovery, there's nothing wrong with talking specifically about one ED as long as you're clear about that. However I think Millie is doing a lot of great things and this video is VERY important, like I said I don't mean to be mean or take away from that. It's just something that has been bothering me and I wish more content creators in this community would think about.
oh lovely, keep going with recovery and i promise it will all be worth it! i only just got my period back myself and i got it back through fully committing myself to full recovery 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for this! Because i’m still 16 i have to talk to my mum in order to get help from a professional but i don’t want to lose anymore of my life from this illness. When i was 12-14 i suffered with an obsession with exercise since i’m a dancer and i never noticed that it was disordered until now. My eating wasn’t as disordered then but i still was always trying to eat “clean” and having this disordered view as diet culture had taught me. Then after an event that happened at a dance show (talk about trauma🥲) i developed full blow eating disorder (possibly anorexia but i’m not diagnosed) and i’m so done with being obsessed with exercise and my body i want to live my life again and i’m trying to plan how to talk to my mum so any tips would be super helpful!! This is so helpful though thank you ❤️
i don’t have too much but when i feel this way i try to rationalise those thoughts! most people (a) won’t notice anywhere near as much as you do and (b) won’t care anywhere near as much as you do! and anyone who does care is probably happy to see you feeling happier and thriving ♥️
ugh. a family member keeps commenting on my "good appetite." she really stresses me out w her observation bc i'm already anxious about my extreme hunger & how m body is changing/recovering.

You've got through this before and will get through it again. Just start with one bite of your favourite food, it will have a ripple effect. 💗
@@tanyamarie1992 Great advice!!!!!!!
Like Tanya Marie said, you can do this.......you can get healthy again!!!!!

I'm starting today..
yes. being stressed out def effects my appetite. i thought i was the unicorn bc everyone around me stress-eats
Thank you so much for this! Because i’m still 16 i have to talk to my mum in order to get help from a professional but i don’t want to lose anymore of my life from this illness.

This is so helpful though thank you ❤️
Do you have any thoughts about feeling judged about gaining weight. I find this so hard
i don’t have too much but when i feel this way i try to rationalise those thoughts! most people (a) won’t notice anywhere near as much as you do and (b) won’t care anywhere near as much as you do! and anyone who does care is probably happy to see you feeling happier and thriving ♥️
ugh. a family member keeps commenting on my "good appetite." she really stresses me out w her observation bc i'm already anxious about my extreme hunger & how m body is changing/recovering.
Love your video so much ❤❤
thank you so so much 🤍
Hey even though i don't have IG anymore, I hope you are doing well :D
cute fit Milly
If you'll keep wating you'll dead. Yeah, almost... :( I had days later before I die.
oh honey. i'm so glad you are here.
