Relapse is painful
My mouth is covered in soars
I’ve binged all week and gained 10lbs
And punished myself every time I binged
I’m slipping back into old habits and on the verge of a mental breakdown
I just can’t

Hey. You’ll be okay. This will pass.
Relapse happens.
I think of it like… You are on the path to recovery. That path has stones and potholes (triggers) strewn about. A relapse is when you trip on one and fall down. But that doesn’t mean that you’ve lost the progress that you’ve made. It just means you need to try to pull yourself back up and keep walking.
I know that it seems pretty impossible right now. I know you’re hurting so much. I’ve been there.
But I also know you can do it. I know you can keep moving forward. It might take you some time to feel okay again, but you have the strength inside of you to reach a place of happiness.
Rely on your friends and family; whomever you feel closest to. They love you, and only wish you success and satisfaction in life.
Reach out for any kind of assistance you may need–there’s no shame in asking for help.
I wish you the best.
