I’ve gained around 15 kg in just two months during recovery, and I’ve been struggling emotionally with the changes in my body. I’ve also been eating around 6000 kcal per day on my own, and it has gradually become habit-driven and part of my daily routine.
During this time, I’ve been mostly sedentary, spending most of my days lying in bed and eating continuously. I’ve also been feeling very depressed, which has affected my basic self-care, and I’ve only been showering every 2–3 days.
Because of how I feel about my appearance, I’ve started avoiding mirrors and can’t really look at myself anymore. This situation has been very stressful and overwhelming, and it’s been affecting how I see myself and how I cope day to day..
