How can I feel better and keep the progress I made?

Anyone who’s been on here for a while kmows I’ve struggled with anorexia, cutting, depression and constantly feelying entirley ugly and horrific. Past few months i was doing good at gaining weight and was starting to feel more confident and better about myself. However, the other day, my boyfriend and i got into a fight, he said ssome things that were insanely hurtful and I feel betrayed, that had much to do with the issues i was dealng with and getting better with. I’ve been a mess since, it’s really hurting everything i do, i will find myself leaving school several hours early just so i don’t have to see other more attractive people and feel bad about it. I find myself insanely depressed all the time again, no motivation, no confidence, and it’s interfering with school, work, and friends. how do i fix this and get back the progress i have made the past few months? As well, I’ve talked to him, and he has apologized.

I think the answer lies in community. Community is the result of friendship. And friendship is the result of kindness, listening, and lots of smiles. I dont want to pretend like I know the golden answer, cause this is something everyone deals with, and people are just to ashamed to admit it. Finding a real friend can bring an end to a lot of suffering, and as a side-effect, you will have a lot of good times. The “more attractive” poeple that you see are in the same puddle as you, reach out to them, because they are to prideful to reach out on there own.

Wow I am sorry your in this rut, I think I know how you feel I just recently came home from “snapping” and doing some pretty intense stuff. People in school made fun of me for my problems and I got through it kind of by writing and I have a teddy bear in my room that I talk to. I know he can’t betray me and ill always have his trust as weird as it sounds but I’m still trying to face my problems and trust people as well. I am sure your boyfriend didn’t mean anything by what he said it was probably said in the heat of the moment. I think maybe you should take a day or two to yourself so you can recollect. Maybe see a therapist or good friend. There is no exact answer because everyone deals with emotions differently. But every ventilation method takes time and energy to make work. The people in the ward recommend I pick up a hobby like gardening to give me a moments peace. In any case I hope you won’t end up ruining ur months of hard work.
