At 8:35, you left out that right after the bushfires a pandemic started. On top of everything else, that is friggin difficult enough. I'm glad you're doing really well. I can't wait to see you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Also, does Mum still have those tacky sled lights?! Surely that thing is dead by now. At least I replaced them by giving her some tacky tree ornaments.
Hey Mia thanks for the video your content is always such an important guiding tool for many ❤️ I know I’ve pestered you a few times on Insta about this already, but have you listened to the Daniel Johns podcast? It touches on his experience living with and developing anorexia and being in the limelight. I think his story is so harrowing and also really important for dialogue within the community as his story will inevitably shed light on the ED experience for many people (some who may not have even considered men could suffer with such illnesses.). I’d love to know your thoughts ❤️
As a non-native I didn't get which sort of comfort food Mia preferred after recovery besides chocolate. It sounded like crumbed cutlets, but this sure isn't right. I know this post is not really up to date but if someone answers, I'd be really grateful! 😜🤗
What I can say is that Anorexia increased my bipolar depression and hypomanic episodes which triggered even more hiding than Anorexia on its own. It’s not that my relationships were ruined, it’s just that I lost out on time I’ll never be able to get back. And that is the sad part.
I really resonate with this..it's like we have to grieve all the lost years, so painful.. The serenity prayer helps me with this grieving process. Learning mindfulness skills also helps bring me back to the present, to hope for a better future one day at a time, best wishes to you
Ps..I feel more comfortable saying Goddess/ God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can& the wisdom to know the difference.. I see the higher power as they...hope this helps 💜
Thank you so much for the video, I love you and your channel, but I don't think that full recovery is possible for me. I feel like it will follow me around forever.
Maybe you just have more emotional & mental unpacking to do..one day at a time.. personally I had to do deeper Cptsd recovery work before I saw any real progress in my Ed recovery.We are all different please don't loose hope, I know how how devastating & demoralizing that is, take care& best wishes to you 💜
@@annemariepower7949 I’m experiencing the same. I was released from hospital three weeks ago and attending a virtual Partial Hospitalization program but I’m getting worse the longer I’m home. I realized that my body trauma/PTSD gets worse the more my body stabilizes. I keep being told I have to be further into recovery to deal with my trauma and PTSD but that doesn’t make sense to me when my disorder was born out of trauma.
@@annemariepower7949 thank you for caring enough to comment. I appreciate it. I will keep trying, but it just somtimes feels like a losing battle. I trust all of the recovery warriors I know though, and will keep fighting.
@@missthriftyfinds it can all be so confusing can't it..I was told by a professional that I had to be in a good place to do the Cptsd recovery work?? I was bewildered as the Cptsd was the root cause of my Anxiety, depressive& eating disorder. What helped me personally was writing out my fears/ terrors on a daily basis, just getting them out of me, learning as much CBT & DBT skills as I could, mindfulness skills & prayer, reading Pete walker's book,The body keeps the score. Trying to be as kind,gentle & patient with yourself as possible is the main thing, I know how utterly overwhelmingly it all can be..one meal at a time one day at a time. The recovery/ healing process is unique for us all, it take as long as it takes, best wishes to you on your journey 💜
@@missthriftyfinds Sorry correction..Pete walker wrote the book, Complex PTSD From surviving to thriving...The Body keeps the score was written by Bessal van der Kolk..🤗
