It takes a strong person to admit that they are struggling but you are strong. It’s likely that the only person judging you is yourself so ignore that inner critical voice. By keeping it a secret you are allowing that unwell voice to take control again and are punishing your mind and body. 💜⠀

You deserve to live a life which isn't defined by your illness. Recovery is possible 💜

Research shows that early diagnosis and treatment

Research shows that early diagnosis and treatment often results in a quicker recovery with less severe symptoms. To us this goes without saying; of course it will be harder to unpick years of ingrained behaviours and thinking. Harder, but still very much possible. Often, early intervention may mean that not all “criteria” are checked, but do not let this deter you from seeking the help you need 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Believe every day that YOU CAN DO THIS. Even when your ED is telling you – very convincingly – that you can’t 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Focus on making sure that you feel good about yourself regardless of of how you look physically. Embrace who you are! 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀

Exercise a more compassionate and nurturing voice

Exercise a more compassionate and nurturing voice towards yourself. This voice will get stronger the more you use it and will silence that internal critical voice 💜

If you believe someone you know is displaying a ch

If you believe someone you know is displaying a change in behaviour or mood which you feel may be potential red flags of poor mental health/mental illness, the first thing to do is to approach them with your concerns. There’s a tendency to avoid bringing the issue up for fear of pushing the person away. Set time aside and talk to them about what is happening in their life and their feelings. Behaviours like self-harm are a coping strategy – a tool someone’s using because they don’t know how to cope with how they feel. Talk to them about what else is happening in their life and how they feel about it, rather than focusing entirely on the activity/behaviour itself. You do need to be sensitive and careful not to force the person to speak out until they are ready but instead, support them and remind them it’s okay to talk. Sometimes someone with poor mental health or a mental illness finds it difficult to speak to someone whom they are close to for fear of upsetting them 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You are the most important person to you. Why allow someone to hold you back, put you down or keep you in a position where you cannot grow? Remind yourself that their needs and wants aren’t always paramount.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. The fear of being alone should not stop you from allowing yourself to be the best you can be. As you become healthier and happier, you will start to attract positive friendships into your life as well as being more comfortable in your own skin to actually enjoy your own company 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

By far the hardest part of our search is turning inwards as opposed to seeking validation and reassurance from external sources. It is so easy to place so much of our self-worth on the opinions of those around us in the hope of gaining comfort in the recognition that we get from them. While some of these figures are friends and family whose judgements we value deeply, other times we allow complete strangers to determine how we feel about ourselves, which is absolutely ridiculous 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
