Edrecovery Stories

This is a poem describes how being consumed by an eating disorder is like being stuck in a maze. During the path of recovery there are many different roads and dark twists and turns, which are scary and painful, but once you take those paths they lead to the light. It describes wanting to let go of the chains and shackles that hold us down and try to destroy us, but not knowing how. This poem is about the journey to freedom.

you are not alone <3

I love to share, especially sharing about something that can empower people or something else that gives people the feeling to live happily. Why? Because everyone deserves it. You deserve something good in your life. You deserve the happy you. Much love, G

I tried to tell how crazy Bipolar is to deal with, to others, friends, and family. Face to face, eyes to eyes, heart to heart. People do care but I know they do have no idea how annoying it is. And here some explanation about my lovely bipolar and all the stuff in my head during manic episode, depressive episode, or even during my anxiety.

A collection of poems and liquorice-tinged thoughts.

poetry-style journal entries surrounding my journey of mental health / eating disorder recovery following an attempt to end my own life, i spent two years in & out of treatment centers. i discharged from my last inpatient treatment center in september of 2023. recovery is not linear. it is not perfection, but it is commitment.

This is the story of the mental illness that affects millions worldwide. The same illness with a twenty percent fatality rate. The mental illness with the most death rates out of the thousands that are diagnosed every year. This is Leah's story of anorexia and her fight for recovery from the horrifying disease that stole too many years from her precious life.

Living in a mind where everything is what it isn't. Fighting the day ahead. Fearing what is to come. For the world to understand the horrific scene that never seems to end for someone dealing with a mental illness (or multiple), see through the eyes of the prisoner. **Please do not read if you are sensitive to any of these topics. If you are in recovery please continue to work forward, and do remember why you started your recovery journey to begin with.

Emily's mom thinks that Emy is a bad child, so she is constantly doing things that stress Emy out, making Emy think she is doing something wrong. All Emy wants is to be perfect, for her mom and for Ana-her doll that Emily uses to personify her disorder and the voice in her head, telling to be perfect, telling her to be skinny, no matter the cost.

this is a story about how you shouldn't romanticize eating disorders. they suck ass
