In this episode titled "The Unspoken Realities of Eating Disorder and Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Recovery," I share my own personal experiences and explore 10 unspoken realities that people with these conditions often face. I discuss the feeling of falling behind in life and the sense of loneliness that comes with feeling like nobody truly understands what you're going through. I also delve into the emotional toll of these conditions, including the intense sadness and constant crying that can feel overwhelming. Additionally, I address the self-doubt that arises during recovery and the deep questioning that occurs with every decision made, even when seeking professional help. I also touch on the potential loss of identity and the search for a new sense of purpose and meaning in recovery. The financial burden of recovery, including the cost of treatment and its impact on employment and finances, is also a reality that I explore. I highlight the difficulty of rebuilding a positive relationship with food and body image and the ongoing nature of this process. Furthermore, I discuss the fear and anxiety around weight gain during recovery and the physical discomfort and digestive issues that can arise during the renourishment process. Overall, this episode offers a candid and personal perspective on the unspoken realities of eating disorder and hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery. It aims to shed light on these often-hidden experiences and provide support and encouragement to those going through the recovery process. ❤️ Join my newsletter list for weekly motivation and inspiration and you'll also receive a FREE copy of my eBook "Body Confidence (for life!) guide" ❤️ HA Recovery Roadmap Masterclass - Join me for an informative 60-minute webinar on Thursday April 27th at 7pm where I help you create your own successful recovery roadmap for Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). Click here to join. ❤️ Ready to get your period back? Join the next round of Healing Hypothalamic Amenorrhea!
