well i'm kind of an idiot. i've been doing good for a few months, no more slip-ups. reforming my life and all, you know how it is. but for some reason i just decided to check my bookmarks on my computer and i have this blog that i used to visit bookmarked, so i looked. its all about being pro-ana/mia, fasting, and quotes to keep you thin.

now i'm super-triggered, and scared i'm going to do something bad.

Sometimes, we need to go deeper in the past to truly get over them.

I really know how you feel. I saw something earlier tonight actually that I used to associate heavily with fasting and restriction. It's really difficult... tbh, I recommend that first and foremost you get rid of all the crap on your computer. At least you won't stumble on it that way again. As for being triggered, if I were you, I'd just get out the house and keep busy. Get your mind elsewhere.

Sorry I didn't catch this until now.

You aren't an idiot. Dealing with an eating disorder, especially trying to recover from one and reshape the whole way you live and think isn't an easy task! Cut yourself some slack. I'm really proud of you for trying, at least.

Here's what you do:

Go in and clear out all your pro ana/mia bookmarks, quotes, info on fasting, any blogs or anything related that you have book marked. Get rid of it and make sure it's gone for good- you really don't need to stumble upon it again like peri said, that would be a huge backlash and would set you back quit a bit.

Then, go search for some encouraging anti-ana/mia things, if you want, and start a whole new collection.

If you can't get into contact with any recovering anorexics or bulimics in real life, do some searching for a group online, but make sure these people's intentions are pure. Sometimes, even when people want to change, they don't give it their all and stay in the negative mindset that food is actually their enemy, and can often times drag others back into a relapse with them.

Surround yourself with people that care about you and are going to give you positive support.

You know all the tricks you learned to keep you from eating, to keep you distracted? You can still sort of use them, but you can use them to keep your mind of wanting to look at and think of the things that are going to trigger you.

You could find a way to reward yourself, too, for doing good, like going out and getting a manicure or a pedicure, or a haircut or colour job, or some new shoes or something.

I really wish you the best of luck and hope you check back to see this message.

Hey sweetie you aren't an idiot, this isn't at all your fault. Everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is that you don't dwell on them and make sure you learn from them.
