Edrecovery Stories

Since for three years restrictive EDs have consumed her life, Madison (now a senior), whose identity was long built on her perfect grades, achievement, superiority, and body, must rebuild and reorient herself before adulthood drops. (And it's possible; she's at last fully committed to the cause and on her way. This is just a testimony to that.) This is one of Madison's journals, providing a 30-day glimpse into a vital stage of her ED recovery process from the moment she became open to letting go of weight and restriction as sources of esteem. It opens at her lowest, most pivotal point and progresses as she does. But old habits provide comfort, and so Madison does fall back into them but continuously reminds herself why she is bothering to change: because there is a life for her worth living--now and ahead.

In which a nineteen year old college freshman struggles to recover from an eating disorder she's tried hiding from her loved ones for three years. Eden Michelson is a perfectionist, some may say, even a control freak. She feels the need to have her life go exactly the right way, except her life doesn't ever go as planned. The one thing she knows she will always have control over is her food intake. So she has taken advantage of that. Three years since she first began restricting, this simple way of gaining control takes over her life and is well on its way of turning deadly. Before more tragedy strikes, Eden is admitted into a hospital to recover. TW: This content contains talk of eating disorders that may be triggering for some.

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.

'But a black young girl of God cannot get Anorexia or mental illnesses-. This is my story. You probably have struggled like how I have too. These were my coping mechanisms. This was a battle. A battle you may have experienced as well. This was ongoing. This still is ongoing. I journaled my experience with anorexia on the bad and good days and how I felt God with me along the journey. I wanted to find my worth and identity again. God and I wanted to write this book to expose how anyone or any race and gender could struggle with mental health. This book encourages some specific readers to recover from any mental illness with professional help and guidance from God. I invited God to help me recover and he started working; I had relapses, obstacles but he still stood by my side with his mercy, patience and grace. In addition, this book could also be read by those who don't struggle with any mental illnesses but want to gain understanding on what it's like for someone who does and how God is real. This is my life with Anorexia and depression as a Christian who has God on her side. However I believe, 'What God cannot do, Does not Exist'- NSPPD. I aim to update this story until I heal fully. Will I ever heal? TW: WIEIAD INCLUDED SOMETIMES. LITTLE CALORIES MENTIONED BUT NO SEPCIFIC NUMBERS.

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

Gretchen Wyatt is a 17 year old who is dealing with Bulimia.Gretchen is 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighs a whopping 92 pounds on a good day, and 96 pounds on a bad day. She is in love with Harley Cameron, who just so happens to be her older brother's best friend. During the summer she is sent to The Hills Residential Eating Disorder Recovery Center. This book focuses on a teenage girl name Gretchen, who is forced into treatment for her eating disorder by her father during the summer. She makes friends with some of the other patients, (and enemies with others maybe? I haven't decided yet..) and decided that she wants to recover and be happy, all throughout the book she is chasing after her childhood crush Harley. I'm not the best writer and I also mainly write at 12 am-5 am so bear with me. I have never finished more than a page when I try to write a book / novel / whatever, so hopefully I'll finish this.

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.
