Scared of relapse

[Ballerina123]

I've been recovered from an ed for well over a year now.
But recently I've been engaging in ed behaviours and thoughts.
I've gained a lot of weight on meds and in recovery.
my problems are very mild atm but im worried about a relapse.
what's the best way I can stop it/manage it?

reach out, talk to your Dr, be accountable

Be very mindful of what you're eating. Try and eat three meals a day with healthy snacks in between, even if the temptation to cut meals out is there. Try to challenge any ED thoughts and maybe accept the weight gain from meds as a trade off for better mental health.

Speak out and try to figure out if anything specific has triggered these thoughts. let people know you are having these thoughts, challenge yourself so if you find thoughts sneaking in that you deep down know are not YOU but rather ED talking, then push them away then and there. the sooner you do it the less invasive they will get. don't let it get a hold of you again, you are stronger then this. Also remember that these thoughts are normal too, its ok to have them do not let them scare you and try not to overthink them, dont give them power. treat them like a fly buzzing in your ear& flick them away. speak to family or friends around you so they can keep an eye on behaviours and things like that, and maybe write down everything you may have been doing so they can watch out for it. and are you having therapy? maybe even seeing a dietitian for one appointment just to figure out some ways to keep things on track? keep going love you are being so strong and brave. you can fight this xxxxxx

Thanks guys.
I'm trying not to relapse. Really trying to eat enough.
Trying to stay calm about my weight which is hard.
