Feeling ill/fatigued/dizzy in recovery

you’ve done so well!! keep going, I’m proud of you and it is going to be worth it. ♥︎

when I was in ED treatment my therapist really stressed how normal it is to feel even worse physically during early recovery, and not only during refeeding – 4 months would still be considered early when it comes to that. your body is amazing and it can heal amazingly when we let it, but after such a long time of abuse it takes time – healing and rebuilding all those vital muscles and organs, adjusting to the new (good) stuff takes time. and energy. a lot of it. so it’s fully understandable and normal not to feel all balanced and well after 4 months, especially if you’ve been sick for a long time.

but I think you should see a doctor/professional if you can, and bring up these concerns. I really do. and I get that this is hard and that it can feel hopeless sometimes. that’s normal, too. but I trust and hope that you’ll feel better soon. and I believe in you!!
