If your tired of this hell..

[handsbreak]

I know the main population here on WE is all stuck in a ED rut! It's sad, it really is. It's a sickness, not a life style choice. I know I may get some arguments on that, but I know that's the devil on your shoulder fighting that thought, not the angel, the one that want you alive!

Anywho:

I just thinking about how bad my ED was a few years ago, & after a good year & a half of working with doctors & counclers I must say the really world is WAAAAAY better then Ana or Mia's worlds! it'a AMAZING! I know most of you won't believe that, or have the strenght to recover but try? for your family, friends & most of all for youself!

I personally think it takes WAY more strength to fight the devil & admit to yourself that you want a life full of love, fun & laughter, than it does to just obey your head & refuse food!

SO! I thought maybe we could list some reasons to recover? What You love about the real world, & liveing your own life!

Some of mine are:

-not being tired all the time!
-being able to acctully hold a conversation
-playing with my little cousins & not haveing to make up excuses because i can't stand up
-the feeling of warmth!
-not being the strange girl who doesn't talk to anyone
-running & playing cause its fun! not as a way to burn cals
-laughing with people!
-having more to think about!

Add some of your own! ♥

YES!!

I agree with you, handsbreak! I think it IS harder to listen to the angel and fight the devil on my shoulder! I think thats why so many of us get stuck in the ED rut bc it really is a tremendous fight! For me, anyways, fear is a big part of it too bc I'm afraid of failing, afraid of the unknown (ie the future and life with out mia), and afraid of trying and failing... But the truth is that I'm not living anymore... I'm existing and really just barely tbh... So, yes... I TOTALLY agree this is going to be one hell of a fight but it has to be better than how I've been living!

Reasons to Recover:
* Hope for the future! Which, as funny as it sounds bc I'm afraid of the future, its the main one!
* Hope that my experience will allow me to help others!
* Being myself again (I know this sounds funny but I was a pretty cool girl before I got so wrapped up in myself! I want to be HER again!!)
* The possibility of a family
* FRIENDS! I want to be there for my friends instead of isolating myself! I want to tell them that I'm doing well and good things are happening in my life!
* To be half the daughter my parents deserve... Though never perfect (Who is??), I have the MOST amazing parents... Sure we have our history, we fight and disagree but they love me no matter how bad I screw up (and I screw up A LOT!), are always there for me, and are just super awesome! So, yeah... If I could be even half the daughter they deserve I'd be ok with that :)

Great, great, great post :)
