    I honestly really needed to see this video today, I thought I had kind of gotten hold of my mental health but over the past few days I've been in genuinely the worst anxious/depressive episode that I've had for a long time. Even though I know it's down to my PMDD, its still kind of knocked me for six and its honestly felt very hard for me to not view myself simply as someone who has a mental health condition. I'll list a few facts about myself to try and remind myself about what I am more than a MH perspective:
    -Im not really a huge nature fan but any woodside or forest pathway which leads to a lake or beach will get me out of the house any day of the week
    -my favourite music artists are The Weeknd, Stormzy, Arcade Fire, Fontaines DC and Arctic Monkeys
    -My birthday is the 8th of March and I'm a Pisces sun with Scorpio moon and Leo or Cancer rising

    the exercise you mentioned is wonderful! I have never once thought about how i want to feel and what can help me fell that way but it's definetly something i will keep asking myself from now on!
    I am also currently working myself through a list of activities my therapist gave me to find out who i truly am. I advise everyone to just try things even if you think you will not like them. I, for example, had the oppertunity to try out Step Aerobic as a sport. I thought i would absolutely dislike it but turns out that i LOVE it and i'm now signed up for my local Step Aerobics lessons.
    We really have to try and dig deep!

    Thank you I needed to see this. I'm recovering from my MH and have found it hard to separate my identity from that. The encouragement to do things my younger self did is exactly what I needed to hear.

    I’m currently struggling with heart problems caused by my ed, though I’m not restricting as much as I was, any minor under-eating period causes my symptoms to come back. I was wondering how did you reverse your heart damage and be able to do activities and sport again healthily? I really want a healthy heart again.

      it’s hard girl i get that but i think you already know the answer and it’s not the easier one. the only way you can heal the damage is by eating more and fight the eating disorder. you can’t just eat lots of healthy fats and protein but remain under a certain calorie limit to keep your ed happy. the most important thing is increasing your calories. whilst this is such a terrifying and distressing process to go through, you need to do it. your health and longevity is far far more important than how your body looks and you know this deep down. on the flip side, what a beautiful thing that the best way to heal your heart will also pack with it all the other amazing benefits of recovery. there are no downsides to the medicine you need! the only thing that loses is your ed. i believe in you💞💞 don’t let your brain postpone and avoid doing what you know you need to do xx

    • @tawwy7844

      your body needs more calories so that it can use those to keep you alive rather than breaking down the muscle tissue in and around your heart and other vital organs xx
