Honestly even through a lil screen, you’re such good company. I’ve hit such a low point and your videos help so much. I’m gonna write it here so that I follow through with it: I’m gonna have a little bit of chocolate to make up for my difficult meal, and then share something I struggle to eat with my grandad! X Update: I followed through
i’m proud of you. you did the right thing ❤️
I feel like I may explode if I don’t say this lol, but Ro, you are an incredibly kind person, it in NO way makes you rude to address people who are quite literally ignoring the "boundaries" you have set in place or explained. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned the fact that your PTSD is a difficult topic multiple times, and I’m sure I can remember you saying that you don’t feel comfortable sharing those things on the internet right now, so I honestly just can’t comprehend why people would still bother asking? Clearly there’s a reason you don’t speak about those things😩 anyways rant over, love you roisin❤
yes yes yes yes - thank you! it’s like because i’m behind a screen it’s suddenly cool to be like ‘tell us your trauma!’ like NO lmao. thank u x
@@RoMitchell Honestly😅
@@RoMitchell Respect to you for setting those boundaries. It's hard enough to talk to a therapist about trauma let alone a load of strangers.
Hey Ro! Just wanted to let you know that I have been watching your TH-cam videos for a while now and it has been an absolute pleasure to see you grow into the beautiful girl you have become. I can see the light in your eyes more clearly now and you seem more present than ever before ❤
thank you so so much 🥰
I haven't been checking your channel out for a couple of past months, but you randomly crossed my mind while I was scrolling through TH-cam and oop you just dropped a new video. I am so happy to find out you are doing so good, you seem happy, confident and you radiate good vibes. Wish you all the best
thank you!
Can I just say, I don't have an ED, but I have severe anxiety that makes me struggle to eat sometimes. This week has been really bad so I get to eat along with you and it makes it less overwhelming. Thank you
all my love. i hope things look up for you soon 🤍
Hi there, i just wanted to say that i can completely relate to severe anxiety making it difficult to eat. Thank you for sharing, it has made me feel less alone. Sending love and light your way. xx
Omg thank you so much for sharing this!!! I feel you 100% and struggle with the same thing. And I also like watching Ro's videos as a 'meal support'. Lots of love to you from Germany xoxo
Me too ❤️💖 good luck everyone
So much love to everyone, we got this together xxxx
Thank you for being here for us Ro, your journey has inspired my own in so many ways ❤
just watched your video and its so great! so inspiring! love you!
thanks gorgeous girl 🫶🏻
You help so many people as well!
IM SO EXCITED. I've been having a rough ED day lately and I just know this video will help
it’ll get better i promise 🫶🏻
@@RoMitchell ❤️
idk if I‘m the only one, but watching your videos while eating is such a grounding, reassuring experience to me. it sometimes is still hard for me to fully enjoy what I‘m eating, but listening to your voice and your journey is so inspiring and I feel like I can fully take in and enjoy the food, rather than just get it over with! I hope you know how much you help us!
wish you all the love and kindness
RE the meal plan question - my mental health nurse used to tell me to add extra food if I am hungry for it and to use my meal plan as a minimum to eat in a day, because I was outside of the danger zone for refeeding syndrome when my extreme hunger kicked in. I did get my meal plan increased eventually too because the first one wasn't enough to make me gain weight, as you need a lot of energy for your body to repair. It is totally normal to really hungry during this point as the primal part of your body/brain is registering this as the end of a very long time where food wasn't available
Soooooo great to hear the therapy is working. Proud of you for persisting with it, despite it no doubt being extremely difficult. It will be so worth it in the end.
I don't think qualifications mean much in terms of getting work in the field you want. University isn't the only pathway towards your dream job or life goals, trust me!!
Thank you for this real and honest video. Really hope you feel physically better soon ❤️
I'm doing my a-levels right now (well, the equivalent to them, where I live). A lot of people around me are struggling with their mental health and so am I. I wish I could drop out but I can't. You are the first person I have heard acknowledge that not everyone is meant to do their a levels and that having mental health problems or mental illnesses can make the process of getting them really hard or even impossible
I was a silent watcher for a long time and haven’t seen a video from you in a while, but I just scrolled past your thumbnail and you are GLOWING. So proud of you.
you are my comfort person. i have literally watched all your videos and whenever im sad i just rewatch them seriously thank you ily
Thank you for showing me that there is a happier place outside of my ed, a happier world where everything is better like how you're living. Also a lot of the advice you give really resonates with me. On my journey to recovery for a happier life and i think my want for recovery is somewhat because of you
you are literally glowing. like your personality shines through the screen and you just seem so full of life, even compared to when you started youtube…..seeing your growth gives me hope for my own anorexia recovery(i’m currently struggling with a bit of a relapse) so thank you for reminding me of why i started recovery in the first place
i second this. she has the most beautiful aura and i love seeing her find herself again💛 and i know how hard struggling with food is - you are so strong and i wish you all the best. you always deserve to nourish yourself
sending love❤also I relate SO MUCH to feeling like your meal plan is restrictive, like the eating disorder part of your brain trying to tell you that it's too much, but then the real you knowing that you would normally eat a bigger portion, so thank you for talking about that and normalizing it!
I just wanted to say I’ve been watching your older videos on you challenging your eating rules/ eating no-no foods etc and I have never seen you recent. I can’t tell you how incredibly proud I am of you and I don’t even know you. It’s amazing to see your progress and I just know you’ve inspired so many young ladies and men on this platform. Keep going! You got this!
ro you've changed my life and i love seeing how much light you emulate:))
Getting a notification of your video is like a hit of serotonin!
I just came across your video from a year ago and I was interested to see how you’re doing now, so I clicked on your video. I rarely comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that you look AMAZING. I don’t know you, but I’m so proud of you! You’re doing a great job! ❤
you‘re just so calming, it‘s unbelievable
those cookies are amazing i love them, as much as i love all your content it really is great to see you talking about more things too. you have the most amazing advice and you’re such a lovely person. i’m proud of you and see you as such a massive inspiration. i hope you feel better soon, i’m very run down at the moment too there’s quite a few things going round at the moment. we love you too🫶🏻
Laugh if u want to , cry if u need to. That’s all :) ❤
been waiting for this to watch while i have my dinner , youve helped me so so much
i hope you enjoy !!! ✨✨✨
My ed made me turn a good week into a bad one and i hate it so much, but watching your videos make me cheer up so much and be hopeful! thank you Ro, your help means the world to me❤️🫶🏼 love from barcelona! xx
heyy ro!!
just wanted to say - u helped me so much. to grow, to start my recovery journey, to accept my body and to be at peace with my own self. every video of urs has a really special place in my heart!
thank u for doing this. for being ur honest self, and showing us and everyone that they can do it, no matter how or when. that we're strong enough and mostly: we ARE enough.
my recovery journey has it's ups and downs and lately i've had so much downs. i got nostalgic, i started to count and workout again. and u helped, again. ur emphatic words and the will in you to help strangers on the internet are truly the most important things to me lately. so thank u for everything, and just for being here . 🤍
you’re so lovely ahhh 🥺 thank you so much !! keep going x
Thank you roe you have really helped me and recently I have been struggling a lot.This video helped me have snack with you :)
you deserve it 🖤
Thank you for sharing your recovery journey on TH-cam, I am really impressed with your progress! And I just love your videos, they have a very calming effect on me.
I am so grateful for your videos that help me sooooo much in recovery. I often tend to loose my motivation but when i watch your videos you remind me of what i‘m fighting for. Thanks ro❤❤❤
I'm soo happy to hear you're doing EMDR!! It completely changed my life and I'm so excited for when you finish and can live trauma free! It's the most amazing feeling 💕💕
So proud of how far you've come and you're completely glowing! Keep going, you can do anything you put your mind to xxx
Hey Ro! I’ve been struggling a bit recently, and watching your videos helps me out so much! So I just wanted to say thank you sm, you’re amazing
I started watching your channel just a few days ago, and you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers 💕 You’re so genuine and real, and your videos are so helpful
words cannot describe how much you've helped me
🥺🫶🏻
the swollen lymph nodes could be a sign that you are catching a cold or you have tooth problem arising (idk how to word that), it happens to me all the time. nothing to worry about.
I dropped out of a levels due to my metal health, I did an apprenticeship where I ended up being used as cheap labour. I now work at Waitrose and am doing a retail management apprenticeship with them, the structure of this learning works much better for me as I have a lot of anxiety around money. There are more options than just a levels :) you can also definitely get by without them as so many employers are willing to look past your education and look at your character/personality :)
I haven't watched your videos in a while (about a year) but I thought about you today and was wondering how you've been doing so I clicked on this video. When I first started watching your videos, you were recovering and you were having a really hard time eating food. Around that time I was also having trouble eating not because of the same thing but because of anxiety and depression I always felt sick and couldn't eat much. I lost like 30 pounds and decided I wanted to try and start eating again before it got too bad so I came across your channel. I would eat with you so to speak and seeing you struggle but still push through it and eat your food really helped me eat again too. I just want to say thank you so much for helping me through the hardest time of my life and helping me get my life back on track food wise. 🥲 I can't believe how much you've changed since I last saw one of your videos and I am so SO proud of you!! And of course, I'm very happy for you as well. 💜
I've been watching ur vids for a wee bit now, and I'm struggling with anorexia. I want to get better, I think, it's just idk how too. Ik it's not been easy for u, and I'm only seeing a small sliver of the struggle ur going thro, but I'm still kind of jealous that you've found a path out of the cave.
You inspire me. I wish I had half the strength you've got.
You always seem to post right when I need you the most!! Thank you so much Ro, you've been such a positive influence on my life
so so strong Ro! Thank u for inspiring me in so many ways.... Don't ever feel pressured in telling something u don't want to tell! I think your community is the last one to judge... love u so much have a good evening:)
I’m in love with your clear and healthy skin✨
I had great results from EMDR for my PTSD🙏🏻 It really does work wonders. Good luck!💗
thank you for answering the questions❤️ youre amazing
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love her personality so much
The loreal dream lengths mask is a great one to try out too 💖👏😄
You look absolutely glowing. I love your eyes
Two things:
- if you leave your hair mask on and then rinse it off after you have washed your skin know that can cause backne. I used to have a lot of acne in my shoulders and back and after I started washing my skin after rinsing my conditioner it completely cleared.
- you are looking incredible these days. So mature and gorgeous, it is so great to see how far you've come.
Could you do a video talking about how tattoos can be helpful when healing from an ed ? Love your videos, you're such a sweet person and you've helped so much
It’s always lovely to see you..loved the Q&A.. your nails matched your eyes, and I couldn’t keep my eyes off either.. you could be a hand model👍..you always bring this American grannie joy when you allow me to sit in and visit with you!❤ can’t wait to see you take us outside! I love seeing the worlds of others!🥰be well!
I love every video you make queen!! 💕💕
I'm so glad EMDR is working for you! I have gotten the advice to start emdr too, to process my (childhood)trauma, but im really scared to start it. especially just...talking about what happened and my feelings. Does anyone have any tips? I really don't know if it'll help me. Also I just HAVE to mention how much i love your new hairstyle! the bangs look super cute!
My mom is a therapist and also does emdr and I hope I get this somewhat right but I don't think that you need to be scared.
When it comes to talking about your feelings or what has happened it's often easier because there is no need to linger on specific moments or thoughts but you very much rather jump to the next thing that comes up. You kind of don't take a deep dive into a specific feeling and let it overtake you if that makes sense to you.
Also if you don't want to say what comes to mind you don't have to, emdr works regardless.
The cool thing about emdr is that it is very effective and a very fast way to process trauma without it being overwhelming even though you process a lot.
I do hope that you have a good therapist and that you feel comfortable with them.
I hope that helped a little bit. Good luck with everything!
Hi Ro, I remember I watched your very first video like a year ago, i don't have any ED, but I remember I watched that video and think: "I hope she can get to the point she wants to, I hope she can make it" And voilá, after a year I came back to your channel and it is amazing to know you finally made it.
Recently a friend of mine was diagnosed with Anorexia, and I don't really know how to help her, I'm scared of doing something bad. What if I say something that works like an aid for her in my mind, to only find it triggers her the more? I would really really really appreciate if you could make a video talking from your perspective on how someone with an ED can be helped.
Thanks Ro, I’m currently struggling in my inpatient unit because a lot of people have ng tubes and I don’t 😔x
New merch and cutlery 🙌😍❤️🌈 cannot wait!
Girl, you got me addicted to jellycats! 😂
I love what you do, you helped me a lot during my recovery! 💗💗💗
You have come so far ily
it nice to see the mirror uncovered hope your doing well❤
🥺 thank you! all my love
🍁 Canada represent! I've been to Europe but never the UK so I'd love to visit, anyway not on topic and I've only commented a few times and they're so long-winded as I ramble, but your videos have helped me w a lot of my struggles though some/many aspects are obviously different so when I try to get inspiration or advice from others a big part of me or my brain is like, "well you're different you have this and that and etc so you cant be free" but then I try to remind myself that the same could be said for anyone else, everyone has unique struggles. It's just frustrating as I've been struggling for so long and seeing others (not mentioning *anyone* in particular I would never even imply that I know someone's life) moving forward is tough. But anyway, ffs I keep making these long ass comments and I'm sure they drive you away but that's all, lots of love xox ❤
Yoooo jelly cats are so cute! They’re super pricy but I have one, an axolotl. I named him Louie and I love him 🥹 it looks like he’s waving
How funny is that.....I also did a 24 hour trip to France and Belgium from school, we went on coaches and went to these beautiful little markets etc. Could be a Cheshire thing 🤣
You and your bf are such gems❤
Thank you for being you 💙
Eating leftover pizza while watching!
Love to hear good things about EMDR I've been thinking of starting EMDR therapy.
Where are your earrings from?!?! I love them so much. Also living for this haircut on you ✨
p.s. I actually snorted out loud when you told that story about the yr 7 boys getting in trouble 😂 so classic.
can you make me a tea please? thank you, love you
no u lazy bum
@@RoMitchell #hateralert ‼️ 🚨
So greatful for your videos ❤️
Yaaaas come to Canada!
I'm sick too so was eating soup while watching. Great video :)
thank you 🫶🏻 get well soon :)
Much love to you ❤️

Swollen lymph in your neck just means you're fighting something off. It's your body working for you :)
I am in Recovery at the moment and I am very scared of weigh gain,what could i do?
Ps:Lovee all of your Videos 🌼
I don't know if I have eating disorder or something but whenever I eat something I feel the guilt that i shouldn't have eaten it because I'll gain weight and then I check myself in the mirror after every thing I eat or drink..
food makes me excited but after eating it i feel guilty i don't know what i can say this situation !
Ro do you use to do exercise while you were in your recovery journey??❣️🌼
Your eyes are stunning ❤
My dietician says that the meal plan is the minimum I should eat.
You look so beautiful, I'm so happy for you, I really am
No way, did u go to bologne on the day trip in France? I went there too with my school in y8 there were no boys cause I went to a girls school, but some of the girls got fake cigarettes and fireworks so their coach got held up and they got back at like 11pm or something. We went into so many shops including a cheese shop, knockoff perfume shops but couldn’t go into Sephora cause all the others crammed in there
Well done love you too xx
Hi! You probably won’t answer- I don’t expect you to- but I’m on Wedgwood at the minute… it’s really hard - I just want to know how to cope- I hope this doesn’t trigger you, I just want to know- what makes it better?
💚
I’m early?!
hey !!!!
@@RoMitchell hey to you too !!!
#snaggletoothsurvivor
i recovered.

Excuse me but, 1 and a half kit kat? Don't they usually come in a pair of 2? If so, whyyyyyy not just eat the whole thing like a normal person?
my point exactly hahaha
There is a freedom in commitment!
i've been thinking of trying out therapy and seeing your mental health journey is really pushing me to reach out! love seeing you grow & glow ro!
reaching out will be the best thing you do 🤍✨ you’ve got this x
Yes! I hope you’ll reach out- as a therapist myself, and someone who has had therapy too- it’s a great thing to do.
As a longtime sufferer of an ED, PTSD and panic disorder, I can’t even begin to tell you what a huge inspiration you are. And I’m so proud of you for leaving uni. It sounds like it was a very positive choice for you! And as a mental health professional, I’m very curious to hear more about your experience with EMDR! I’m glad to hear it seems to be working for you! Thank you for putting yourself out there, Ro!
From my experience with EMDR treatment for my PTSD, I healed completely and don't know whether it's actually from the treatment or some mental clearance. But I got that treatment back in 2019 and am fully recovered from PTSD since 2021. I still do have the memory and some triggers that make me think back to the trauma (locations, stepping in a car, social media apps, men, etc) but I don't avoid or react to it, just a flash of the trauma and I move on. Hopefully your results with EDMR are similar to mine or yet even better, because going outside and doing things is so much fun!!
this filled me with hope - thank you so much !! 🤍
Same with me. It literally saved my life :,)
As much as your ED content is very helpful and encouraging, seeing your channel go in another direction of life is very refreshing and fun to see! Keep going love ❤
love your haircut! it suits you so well! i love watching your journey to see just how far you've come and to show myself that anything is possible! love you!❤️
thank u !!! ✨🫶🏻
It is so lovely watching you figure out life outside of your eating disorder! It is not what defines you and your channel anymore and i am excited to see more of you and your personality. Thanks for the great video Ro, we love you❤️
I had a very similar lump on my neck. I asked my auntie as she is a nurse and she said it’s very common in young people to get swollen lymph nodes - they develop through stress and go away on there own😊
It can also just be a symptom of being sick.
There’s a difference between being an “influencer” who sort of glamorizes their life to sell products for companies, and being a content creator. Kind of like the difference between a celebrity - and an actor who is devoted to their craft. I’d call you a content creator.
Your skin looks so good, could you do a skincare vid?
Also your eyes are incredibly beautiful, that colour is amazing! They sparkle!😍
Hi I want to say that you seem like the sweetest human being ever, I’ve been subscribed for a while and I just love you content. Also we have the same first name which I think is very cool, hope your okay
💗💗💗Thank you soooo much for all the help and encouragement you've given me, and so many others. 🙏I'm starting to accept myself again, and even though I have a ways to go, I owe so much to you! 💙I'm so proud of you because I know what it's like to be hopeless.💜💜💜💜 Life is so beautiful now that I appreciate it! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
i’m so proud of you 🥺!! you’re wonderful
AHAHAH boys on school trips to France buying fake cigarettes and them being confiscated must be a universal experience because that happened with my school too 😂❤
Your eyes are so so pretty 😍😍 they are really shining, especially with your hoodie
Im sorry but I need to ask: How do you keep your skin so clear??😅
I just wanted to say that even if you are doing this to some degree for money that’s totally fine. We shouldn’t be ashamed at making or needing money. I work as a mental health clinician and I love helping people but also couldn’t do it without the money! You are sharing your lived experience, knowledge and giving a lot of time and really that can’t all be for free ❤
