so glad to see you back on yt Michi. your willingness to discuss your personal experiences over the years has helped me personally find the strength to seek more information (Dr. Fox) and seek life saving treatment. theres not a ton of frank talk about comorbidities, particularly anx/controlled eating. thank you so so much for putting yourself out there and helping us understand ourselves along the way. 🙏🧿
that’s amazing to hear! thank you for letting me know, I will love to share more once I learn about the relationship between bpd and EDs and also the coping strategies I learn!! 🖤
Sharing your light helps those of us that need to feel it shine, thank you for your courage in continuing doing so. The world needs more people like you.
You are really intelligent and articulate, really like this video. This really relates, I have cptsd and bpd traits. Thanks for such an authentic video ❤️
Always happy to hear from you! I’m hoping you can get the treatment you deserve and I’m wishing you love and support during your recovery journey 🖤 You are allowed to be as private or as open as you feel is safe and we are all here rooting for you. Remember to take care of yourself too because you are so worth it.
thank you so much!! I’m excited to get better and go back to doing what I love full time I appreciate the kind words, right back at your!! Thank you for all of the positivity you’ve given me 🖤🖤🖤
Waiting on treatment for BPD and hopefully be in end of the month! Been tough here in the UK!! All we can do is focus on each day and stay safe! I’ve had to come off Instagram because it was effecting my BDD also
Aww that’s awesome congrats that’s so exciting, you’re totally right and at times I think about a social break too. good job for doing things to care for yourself, thank you so much for the kind words 🖤
Another one here whose bpd is being sneaky and during the pandemic Anorexia has got me very unwell as well and mine is control and trauma based. Like you, they are now telling me I can drop dead at any time and more. I have kids as well! Hope you are feeling a little better soon xxx
wow same there’s more of us than I thought! Anorexia is just how we gain some sort of control in our life, especially with the pandemic having children living in fear etc. There’s sooooo much to it, thanks for understanding I hope you feel better soon as well I appreciate your kind words 🖤
Thank you for sharing Michi..you are absolutely worthy of love yourself sweet lady. We are all in this together. It is not always easy, but it is an amazing gift to others when you do these videos. I try to be honest with people when they see my scars because if I can help someone, it is worth it. Take care of yourself. Love you❤
Thank you so much Lisa! What a beautiful comment to read I appreciate it so much, great job normalizing the struggle and continuing the conversation, I’m gonna be recording a bunch of videos at once and then posting them every few days I love making them and connecting with so many people, take care as well sending you so much love!!! 🖤🖤🖤
How do you deal woth rhe lonliness and desire for relationships but also the absolute inability to do eye contact ? Finding a partner willing to deal with issuesnlike these seems impossible
I get that. I’m in the U.S. and it’s been so hard accessing treatment. I’ve been in two DBT classes that I wasn’t able to complete through no fault of my own. The thing with anorexia is we can look normal, even well. It’s a coping mechanism and can hide other issues.
Yes!! I had my blood tested last week and everything is fine, I’m also still menstrating so it doesn’t seem to matter unless we are actively dying :( you’re totally right, I’m sorry you haven’t been able to access treatment yet’
I can tell you from personal experience that you can change your body and mind with fasting. Comorbidities disappear and mental clarity can be achieved by not eating the garbage most people call food. Thanks for sharing your experience and your beautiful personality ❤ blessings from America. If you're interested in taking charge of your life start with your diet and lifestyle choices... you can choose independence and health. Fasting on fresh fruit juice is the most incredible thing I've ever done and I'm sure if you are brave enough to go through all that struggle you already have then you could definitely do a fast.
I appreciate the sentiment, I think “fasting” would be super dangerous in my state because I need a high caloric intake, going into treatment soon and hopefully they teach me proper nutrition, thanks for the comment :)
I don’t get how people give such personal advice with such enthusiasm instead of asking what’s being done and what kinda pro is doing it… this is just naive advice
@@unspecialist opinions vary. I understand you are attached to your problems and don't actually want solutions... perhaps you haven't suffered enough doing it your way yet. Stay free 🙏❤🇺🇸
@@glennjohn3824 you aren’t qualified or even realizing the bad advice you are giving. The passive aggressive tone, resistance to criticism, lack of common sense and hearts already tell me enough… Good luck with it, DBT helps. Ps I don’t have any problems or diagnosis, I’m here due to an ex partner with BPD. Don’t gaslight, it’s not going to work here.
Through covid, the Oz government increased the number of free visits (under their mental health plan scheme) from 5 to 10. It's an excellent initiative, except that we dont have anywhere close to enough psychologists to meet demand, let alone psychiatrists (if medication is indicated).
wow that’s a great idea if it were able to executed properly, too bad it seems resources are spread a bit thin there as well but the initiative is a great start. Hopefully in time our government will put more incentives in place for people to work in the mental health field!!!
I’m so sorry I’m still finishing off my first shipment and all of the larger sizes sold first but my next order is going to have sizes up to 4xl I’m just saving up for the order still I’m so sorry about that 😢
