How Early Intervention Makes a Difference in Eating Disorder Recovery

The notion of staying healthy is different for every individual. Everyone understands that you need to exercise and eat right to maintain a healthy body, but people are only just starting to understand that your mental health is equally important.

Many of us get stuck in the trap that motivation is something we need to have first to start or finish a task. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.I am sure you’ve been in situations where your mind wanted to accomplish something, but your body said, “Nope, not today.” It’s almost like you are fighting yourself for the very thing you said you wanted to get done.Many of us procrastinate until we don’t want to think about the task anymore or unconsciously find something else to do to keep our minds preoccupied.American essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson is famously quoted as saying, “Do the thing, and you will get the energy to do the thing.” In translation, even if you don’t feel like writing or working out now, once you open your laptop and start typing or tie up your running shoes and walk out the door, the energy you are seeking to get it done will come after you start.Even though this quote was said in the 1800s, science is proving what Emerson noted so many years ago.For so long scientific research associated the dopamine neurotransmitter with pleasure; however, new research confirms that it is also responsible for motivation.Many of us wait until we feel inspired or motivated to start a new task or habit.

Type Four, marches-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drum Rue in Euphoria, for which she nabbed an Emmy Award, might I add. Of course, I’m referring to none other than Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman (AKA Zendaya).Courtesy of Vogue, I took a deep-dive into Zendaya’s life: a Disney star turned full-fledged celeb, singer, self-proclaimed workaholic and (Virgo) perfectionist, Auntie Daya to her nieces, painter, homebody, and true-crime podcast junkie (a girl after The Everygirl’s own heart).

Lithium is one of the most widely used medications for bipolar disorder, so it’s important that we know, from real people with lived experience, how the drug has actually affected them. Has it helped their bipolar disorder, or made their cycling worse? Have they experienced negative side effects that others should look out for?

Even before I received my borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis in my late 20s, I knew I wasn’t quite like everyone else. Even as a teenager, I would encounter classmates and friends who would point out how “weird” or “abnormal” some of my behaviors were, especially as they related to my emotions. So, like anyone else in my situation would do, I learned how to become somewhat of a chameleon to fit in with the crowd or at least get positive attention instead of more criticism.

The internet is such a powerful tool, especially when it comes to the health community. It’s helped people self-diagnose when they can’t afford an actual paper diagnosis. That being said, there’s a dark side to the wealth of information available to us that I don’t feel that we’ve talked about enough. While well-meaning and well-intentioned, positioning ourselves as experts on every person with the same condition we have can be very dangerous and harmful.

When I first received my borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis around five years ago, I quickly discovered that I knew absolutely nothing about the disorder. Between common symptoms and colloquialisms, I felt overwhelmed by all I needed to learn about myself and my mental illness.

Since I first met my partner back in 2018, I’ve watched her make incredible progress in her recovery from anorexia nervosa. Even though my partner is in fairly solid recovery at this point, she still deals with body image issues from time to time. Because of this, I am trying to find more ways to compliment my partner without making it about her body.

I finally recognised that the stomach aches, chest pain, fatigue and weight loss were not symptoms of a physical illness at all, they were my body’s response to severe anxiety.I went to appointment after appointment at the doctors, certain something was seriously wrong. After a long time and lots of tests I finally recognised that the stomach aches, chest pain, fatigue and weight loss were not symptoms of a physical illness at all, they were my body’s response to severe anxiety. I honestly couldn’t bear the idea of having food poisoning again and the thought alone was making me ill.The unfortunate fact about anxiety and panic attacks is that some of the symptoms are like the ones you’d expect from food poisoning.

When I tell people that I am in the process of recovering from physical and mental trauma that I got while in a domestic violence situation, they usually have some variation of the same response: “I’m so sorry. You are so much stronger for having gone through that.” While I appreciate the sentiment, the trauma I experienced did not give me strength.

My eating disorder is a selfish, greedy monster. I was not the best team member, athlete, or person I could have been, but you stood behind me. It was not your job to help me, you could have ignored the signs and told me to keep up, but you didn’t. You may not know the affect you had on my life, so this is a thank you.

What goes wrong when goal setting? You’re 42% more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. (Dominican University Research)… but I’m sure most of you have realized writing down your goals doesn’t equal accomplishing them. The first step in accomplishing your goals is identifying what prevents you from achieving them.  For context, I helped over 170 people set goals last month, and when I see people struggle it typically ties back to these 3 reasons. Avoid These 3 Mistakes When Goal Setting: For example, a lot of Moms have a goal that sounds like, “I want time for myself.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great goal but how will you know you achieved it? Is 10 extra seconds to yourself a success? To make it more specific it should sound something like…“I want 30 minutes for myself at 8 am M-F starting June 1st, 2022, or I want one hour for myself at 7 pm M-F starting June 1st, 2022.”“If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.” – Lou HoltzI have definitely fallen into this bucket too many times to admit. I had to learn the hard way that setting massive goals can become extremely stressful.

I adore the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and teaching others about dissociative disorders is my passion. As a person/system of parts living and generally thriving with what the diagnostic manuals would call a dissociative disorder, I often use metaphors from fictional realms like Marvel to frame my own inner world and teach others about systems.

In early May, Gerber announced the winner of their 2022 photo search: baby Isa. Isa, who was born without a femur or fibula, is the first Gerber Baby with a limb difference.
