Anorexia recovery // eating disorders are not a choice // Stereotypes of anorexia

Please click to expand: There is often a misconception that eating disorders are a choice. That you are choosing not to eat. That it is just a lifestyle choice. This is so NOT the case. Eating disorders are NOT a choice. No one would choose to have anorexia and all the horrible repercussions, thoughts, behaviours, fears and anxieties it entails. In this video I discuss this stereotype of anorexia and highlight how it 100% isn’t a choice. I have suffered from anorexia for over a decade and have spent years in hospital – that is not my choice. I discuss how anorexia can have complete control of your mind and make you powerless to behave how you know logic tells you that you should. Also, I discuss how recovery isn’t just a decision you suddenly make. You don’t just flick a switch and suddenly want to recover. It doesn’t work like that. Because anorexia is not a choice, you can’t just choose not to have it anymore and choose to recover. For me, recovery has been taking two steps forwards and one step back because anorexia screams at me that I still need it. Because I can’t just choose not to have it anymore. Mental illnesses, eating disorders, anorexia – they are NOT choices! #anorexia #anorexiarecovery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ Twitter:   / littlebexq   Facebook:   / rebecca.quinlan.319   Blog: http://foodforthoughtanorexia.blogspo...
