Recovery Is Supposed to Make You Better… So Why Do I Feel Worse?

Recovery is supposed to make you better… so why can it feel like you’re getting worse?One year into recovery, I’ve learned that healing isn’t always the relief I thought it would be. Sometimes it’s exhaustion, uncomfortable body changes, bloating, food thoughts, anxiety, grief, and wondering if you made the right decision by choosing recovery in the first place.In this episode, I’m talking about the part of recovery nobody really prepares you for when you’re doing everything you’re “supposed” to do, but you still don’t feel like yourself.Because recovery isn’t always about feeling better right away. Sometimes it’s about getting through the uncomfortable part long enough to eventually have a life that feels better than the one your eating disorder gave you.
