i would reassess your motives and maybe what you value. you’ve overcome an eating disorder and realized you want a healthier perspective on life, inside and out. that’s an incredible feat and it’s understandable you take pride in that. buying followers, feeling desperate to build an audience, for what? living with authenticity means you should connect with others authentically. making an impact on genuine 1-2, organic followers is much more meaningful than appearing to be appealing to your bought followers and likes. you’ve made a second chance for yourself to live a healthier purpose, is social media the only venue where you want you want to walk your next path? be true yourself, build relatable content, market yourself in the real world where possible. if your intent is to provide support for others from your knowledge, you’d make a helluva greater impact in person in support groups. but if your plan is to monetize while helping others, then that’s the part where i encourage you to reassess what is meaningful for you. if your followers found out you bought fake followers and likes, would they hold your knowledge with any value? btw, buying followers and likes is theorized to work against instagram’s algorithm, and can either get your account shut down or greatly diminish your engagement in the long run.
