EP 130: Are You on an Emotional Rollercoaster With Constant Mood Swings? 5 Stages You Must Go through to Cope With the Loss of Self

Happy April Fools Day!

I'll be honest, I'm not the best with jokes, but there was a time where I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster kidding my own self that freedom from my eating disorder actually existed.

My mood swings were off the charts. When I felt controlled by my disorder I would lash out at the people I loved & when I felt I had control over my eating I would feel a false sense of satisfaction & happiness. It was a whirlwind.

Here is the TRUTH for you today sister, in order to find freedom you MUST move from the valley of denial to the hilltops of acceptance. The journey will feel like a rollercoaster at times....this is normal.

If you have struggled for years, just know that you have masked your emotions for far too long & it can feel really hard to acknowledge that in order to step forward you must first pull back the layers & understand that YOU ARE NOT your unhealthy behaviors. You are not the eating disorder.

You will go through phases of grief & loss...maybe even depression. I sure did.

But the important thing to recognize, is that this process will NEED to happen, it's just part of healing...& at times it sucks!

You see, grief gets a bad name, this is because you have to feel feelings of loss that once brought you comfort. But with grief is also the opportunity to create something brand NEW.

I'm so excited for you to do just that!

It's time you tell that voice inside of your head to sit down & shut up! As you step into your very best self, she isn't coming. She doesn't have a reservation at your table.

One thing I know for sure:

My scars may not be physical, but they tell a story from my past. They now remind me of when life tried to take me out....but didn't.

They remind me that I am stronger than I think.

& you are too!
