Hope for You
This space was made for you. If you are struggling with an eating disorder, self-harm, or heavy thoughts, know that you are not alone. Recovery can feel scary, but even the smallest steps forward matter. Here, you’ll find encouragement, resources, and reminders that healing is possible and your life is worth fighting for.
Tips for Choosing Recovery
Take Small Steps
Recovery is not about doing everything at once. Start with one small action each day, like drinking water, writing a kind word to yourself, or reaching out to someone you trust. Small steps add up to big changes over time.
Reach Out for Support
It can feel scary to open up, but talking to a friend, family member, or mentor can make a huge difference. You do not have to carry this alone — letting someone in is a brave and powerful step toward healing.
Be Kind to Yourself
Recovery takes patience, and it is normal to have ups and downs. Instead of being hard on yourself, try to notice moments when you are doing your best. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would give to a friend.
Things That Helped Me
What helped me choose recovery was realizing that life had so much more to offer than my disorder. I thought about the moments I wanted to experience — laughing with my friends, going back to school, playing piano, and creating memories I did not want to miss. Support from people who cared about me reminded me that I was worthy of healing, even when I did not believe it myself. Little by little, I saw that recovery gave me the chance to live fully, and that made me want to keep choosing peace every day.
