Why does nobody talk about how hard the end of recovery is??
I remember how hard the beginning was, but I honestly wish I could go back to everyone being worried about me and my friends being so happy the first time I ate out with them. Now it's just expected. And now that I'm a healthy weight (came from being very underweight), no one expects me to still be struggling. Also I really miss inpatient. I know that sounds weird, but I really miss everything being out of my control, and being able to relate to other people with eating disorders. Now it feels like I've lost that part of me. Also having hypermetabolism, where I could literally eat so much and barely gain any weight. It's not even that I miss having an eating disorder, it's that I miss how exciting it was to eat my fear foods for the first time and have people talk about me and have my biggest worry be what I was going to eat for morning snack. Idk if anyone else feels like this, I just feel like my struggles aren't valid anymore now that I don't "look sick"
