i’m so late but this week is in fact national eating disorder awareness week, and as someone who has experienced the impact of an eating disorder firsthand, i know just how deeply it can affect you. it’s not just about food—it’s about control, identity, and how you see yourself in the world. an eating disorder can make you feel isolated, misunderstood, and trapped in a cycle of shame and self-criticism. the mental and emotional toll can be overwhelming, and recovery is rarely a straightforward path.
eating disorders come in many forms, each with its own set of challenges, but they all stem from deep-rooted struggles with self-worth and external pressures, whether from society, family, or personal experiences. but recovery is possible, and reaching out for help is a powerful first step. it’s crucial to remember that no one has to face this battle alone.
if you are struggling, i want you to know that i am here for you. in case you need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to reach out. you're not alone, and i am always here to listen and support you in any way i can.
love from,
ayako ♥️
