I'm also a runner and in recovery. It's amazing to see someone who enjoys movement and fights to make it just for enjoyment and not an disordered thing. People always say to me that I have to ditch running. Even when they know my passion for it is buffer than the ED. It is even my main reason to recover. Thanks for making me feel not alone
Kleptomania has been a problem for me in the past. I don’t know how real full recovery is yet, but I feel so free. Thoughts don’t turn into actions anywhere near as frequently as they used to. I still horde sugary and salty foods because my family sees them as being unhealthy and so I eat them in secret a lot of the time but I don’t binge anymore. Understanding and honouring my sensory needs has been a major part in my recovery as well as understanding textures that I can’t tolerate together as being related to my autism and not something that I need to challenge as part of recovery.
This is all really important, thank you for sharing! And re sensory needs - it's a journey I am also on. Learning that what I thought were anxiety attacks was likely more of an overstimulated response has been an interesting lesson! With recovery, I also had the same - unpicking what was sensory and what was restrictive. It is always unique, but if you need someone to talk to who understands, I'm here :)
My mum had anorexia in the 1980s. She has been fully recovered for decades. Absolutely no ED thoughts for decades. When I got diagnosed with anorexia in 2015 I was shocked to hear that she once had it too. You would never guess. This kind of recovery is possible, just wanted to put it out there.
Milly you are so strong, and still so young I feel ashamed of my age and how long I am had anorexia with no respite at all😢. You really have given me hope because in the last year I’ve been to Thailand , New York, Spain AND LOVED IT ! I never thought I would travel again after I got v unwell and we have now booked a month in November to Thailand Again 😮huge incentive and I can make a stab at recovery before I go?
As a fellow runner (it really feels weird to refer to myself as that since I've just recently got into it😅 but I guess if you run that makes you a runner, no?) I would be interested in that part of your life as well :D (especially since it is a big part of your life!) But I do totally understand that this may be sensible subject to some viewers and you therefore keep this part of your life more private :D Loved the video
I know this is a really random thing to say, but your mannerisms and the way you speak remind me of Georgina Sherrington. She played Mildred Hubble in the original/ 1998 version of The Worst Witch. I'm not saying that, because you're British either. I live in England. P.S It's a complement. I absolutely love her.
I live in Bath. They have the worst mental health services. I have Anorexia and Bath has no support for that on the NHS. Living in Bath is very different from visiting it.
Bath is covered by the AWP mental health team no? I don’t want to diminish your experience at ALL but they definitely have an eating disorder service (it’s called STEPS?) and it’s definitely provided on the NHS. i’m assuming the waiting list is unreasonably long though? which yes i agree so underfunded but i think that is the case everywhere 😰❤️🩹
посмотрев это видео, я убедилась, что мне необходимо поужинать сегодня. надеюсь, в скором времени я перестану бояться сладкого, потому что раньше я объедалась им и не имела меры, я боюсь вернуться туда, но и не хочу бояться

Absolutely, but I also did take almost 2 years off running whilst I recovered and it definitely helped

i'm almost 60 & just recently reached my recovery weight. i've been struggling for decades. it's never too late to try.
ty for mentioning the ACE-space
I have a question, how do you get over the fear of not knowing your weight?
Keep going in your recovery and asking yourself why your weight matters, and as your life moves in, your eating disorder will have to move out.
Looking forward to seeing the slovenia vlog…. Much love from slovenia haha ❤❤
oh my goodness! slovenia was my fave country I've ever been to!! i hope the vlog will do it justice
Samee!:)

Thank you :) And if you run - you are a runner haha it feels weird to say though
And Same, I never had peanut butter before recovery
Support teams were key to helping me recover for aute without them I'd have seen no reason to carry on living 💖
