What do you do when you want to relapse?

aviori June 8th, 2020

I've been struggling lately and have been feeling very triggered. I keep thinking about relapse and wanting to go back to my ed. Does anyone else ever feel like this? I don't know what to do.

@aviori I know exactly how you feel! When I want to relapse, I remind myself how miserable my ED made me - I think about the friendships I lost, the time I wasted, the strain it put on my whole family, the toll on my physical health, and how I was preoccupied all the time by my ED. I know objectively that my ED was one of the worst things ever to have happened to me and choosing to recover was the only real option, so even when I'm feeling low and wanting to relapse, if I look at the facts I can snap myself out of it

@aviori I panic and after a few day I will end up relapsing. Haven't found the key of staying in recovery yet :S

i remember the rude person it made me. i would get so hangry and horrible to my boyfriend. it caused us to break up for a short period of time. plus, i developed heart palpitations, and i couldn't walk up stairs without getting winded. the mental health and physical health impact an ED has on someone is just horrible.
