    "Eating disorders aren't weight disorders" something nobody seems to understand!!! I am almost fully weight restored but my mind is just as ill if not more! Everybody assumes that I'm fine now and it's so draining. This was an amazing video Kat you should be really proud of yourself! ❤️🐻🐻

      That is so good! And a very understandable explanation of anorexia for people who don't really know this kind of mental illness. Thank you for sharing this. Keep slayin bestie 🐻❤

      ED’s ARE mental illnesses first and foremost, but the misconception that “only thin people can have ED’s” often overshadows that information; I completely understand where you’re coming from, and I hope you’re able to get the help you need too!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

    I so much relate to the fact about how people call me "dramatic" or "attention seeking". Nobody could ever yet realize that it isn't MY FAULT and it's not easy to JUST EATTT. I don't want to look like an attention seeker. The doctor told me that not eating is my coping mechanism for stress and I need cooperation from others but all I get called is dramatic. I got so frustrated that I even wrote a poem to express myself. Recovery is soo tough. I've tried so many times but as soon as I see food my fear gets over me.
    Life of an Anorexic Girl
    I’m an anorexic girl
    Nobody knows about the battles I fight within my world
    Every bite has guilt, I fear the weight
    I’m lost in a struggle I can’t escape
    I see a reflection, fragile, willing to be thin
    Every day I face a storm within
    Beauty standards, holding me tight
    But a person’s worth mustn’t ever be defined by their size
    I long for acceptance, recovery and care
    To see beyond the outside, to be truly aware
    I’m more than a scared girl, more than what you see
    I believe I’m a warrior, fighting to be free
    Recovery journey is tough, with challenges very new
    But I need support and understanding from friends like you
    Since years I’m trying to shatter the mold
    To rise above, to let my true self unfold

      Bestie that poem is beautiful, and so eloquently put; I’m in the same boat as you, but we WILL get through this. People can say what they want to say, but we need to remember that, just because they’re uneducated, doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to recover, because first and foremost, we need to recover for OURSELVES!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 I’m sending you so much love and strength, WE’VE GOT THIS!! 💪👽

    🐻🐻 I’m scared to cover because what if I don’t like the way I look when I do it. Among other things too, I don’t wanna be seen as someone who eats a ton with no self control.

    • @Kat_Braunschweiler
      @Kat_Braunschweiler  9 месяцев назад +1

      I understand your fears, but please know that it’s just a superstition created by your illness. Right now, your illness is in control, YOU have no control. Recovery is taking back that control. Another reminder; you are SO MUCH MORE than how your body looks, and the happiest moments in your life will always have NOTHING to do with your body. It’s easier said than done, I’m in the same position as you, but recovery truly is the way to go. We’ve got this bestie!! 💪💖
      P.s. Thank you for watching to the end!! 😘🐻
