You are not defined by your disorder, you are defined by who you are as a person! It may seem like your disorder is a part of you that you cannot let go, but that is not the case. You are you, and you are awesome! ♥

You are you. :) Your disorder doesn't and shouldn't define you. I know that sometimes they seem to be the same person, but that isn't the case. The disorder's personality may overlap with yours, but there's always you somewhere.

You are still you. Your disorder doesn't have to define who you are, you can do whatever you want, be whoever you want, with or without your disorder, it just makes you abit more unique

Having an ED doesn't make you any less of a person, but there's no denying it can come to change your outlook over time. You will eventually be able to chip away at the disorder and allow your honest self to shine through. This is why some people struggle with the concept of recovery, an ED is all consuming - your thoughts, your day and your relationships come to revolve around it; the thought of existing without having the ED as a control mechanism can be frightening. That's why recovering can be a slow process; but you WILL learn to use healthy techniques to reinstate your sense of control and authority in your life. You might feel like you've forgotten what life is like without your ED, but who you are is still there, waiting for you to reclaim. If you want to talk about your ED, I'm here. Pandaxia

You are still you without your disorder. A lot of people tend to make their illness, their life. There is nothing wrong with that. But what should be understood is that your illness is not you. It is just a PART of who you really are. You are a unique person with his or her own doubts, questions, hobbies, talents, passions and all the more. All these individually do not represent you but they together make you up. So you are still YOU without your disorder. No less and no more. :)

You're simply you. Everything that you have interest in is part of who you are. You're disorder isn't you. It's something that contradicts who you are. That's why it's always so difficult for people to get over their disorders, they feel as if the disorder is part of them and it encourages them not to try and get out of it.

I've often thought this too. "Who was I before this?" "Who was I before the pain?" Well, you're still you. The disorder doesn't make you a better person, although you may be more understanding. You are you without the disorder. You're happy, hopefully.

It's really strange at first to live without a disorder. You don't know how to live with out it anymore, without that strict rules and problems you had. Sometimes living without it seems strage because it is too good to be realy. You have to be someone new, someone better, someone you always wanted to be, someone who enjoys live without the problems of a disorder. That's how I changed...

Your disorder doesn't define you as an individual. You are still human either way. Disorders can be a challenge don't get me wrong, but that doesn't make you any less of a person.
