I have recently started my road to recovering from anorexia. An illness that has stripped me of everything I once was...but not anymore.

Is there anyone going through similar. I am finding the refeeding process difficult because of bloating and cramps plus water retention. It makes dealing with feelings a bit more difficult and confusing. But I am determined not to have a hospital stay. If I can do this in the community I think il be better off in the long run.

Any suport/guidance would be greatly appreciated ☺

Hi first things first well done for how far you have come! I suffered with anorexia through my late teens to early twenties and I want you to know that you can do this!

I know it is hard to deal with the feeling of bloating and the psychological problems that come with that.

If you need anything don't be afraid to ask

I went into rehab for mine because I knew I was too stubborn to change at the time so if you can do it without going into hospital then do it...

The bloating feeling and other negative side effects will go away with time just stay strong and don't be afraid to confide in people

Thanks so much for your words! Sometimes it feels like no one around me knows how I feel and to be honest I can't really expect them to fully, so it means a lot to have someone to speak to who has been there and can relate.
