Talking to people and being honest and open is a really good thing..... Pretending everything is fine and things are all okay is actually closer to letting people down, because they can't help and support you in the correct way if you are not being honest with them. I'm not sure that made sense at all..... What I mean is, you have an amazing opportunity and you have to try your hardest to use it in the best way you can, being honest and open about how you are feeling, what you are doing and how things are for you is actually a very good thing because it means you are using the services in the right way. You won't let people down by being honest, being honest is fighting back and going in the right direction; it's strong and brave and part of recovery.
It's going to be rubbish and it's going to be hard; but it's possible Helen. There is more to life than an Eating Disorder; there is more to you than an Eating Disorder.... You have to really fight though, you have to really want this. xxxx
