I used to have an eating disorder. I was throwing up for about 2 years. I would always say it was “the last time”. I knew it was self destructive. When it started I was really unwell and experiencing allergic reactions to everything I ate. I wasn’t seeing any results from being disciplined with my diet so I gave up on it and thought I could cheat the aftermath by purging. I went to numerous practitioners of different professions but no one could help my condition. My long term doctor said he didn’t know how to help me anymore. I was so frustrated and fragile. I know my story is different to other people’s. I didn’t think I was “bulimic” because my actions were motivated by health rather than body image; not to say I haven’t had cripplingly low self esteem before. But regardless. It’s an addiction and it’s an act of desperation. I don’t have a success story or healing formula to share, although I have overcome my illness. But it’s #eatingdisorderawarenessweek and it’s through the bravery of other’s transparency, particularly @rosesunfold that I was able to identify the truth in me. I never did research on eating disorders or got therapy.. All I can say about my recovery is, before things started to change, I had to face some hard truths in my life. I realised, ironically as I was suppressing things in my mind, my body was trying so hard to expel something. I slowly started to let the voice in my head speak out loud, no matter how harshly I wanted to judge it. Through developing a relationship with my subconscious I was able to stop denying what I knew I needed. If you’ve ignored those instincts long enough it can be hard to make out the words but it just takes practice. And unfortunately more discomfort. More challenging conversations. More difficult decisions. But it all pays off. And slowly you start to uncover your original self and life gets brighter again ?

Your transparency authenticity is so inspiring and I couldn’t be prouder of both you and @rosesunfold for using your experiences and voice to help others. I remember struggling with my own battle a few years ago, along with various other things and it was actually the other side album that inspired and encouraged me to recover and want to be alive. Now, I am almost 5 years free and the happiest I have ever been. I wouldn’t ever like to be that person that said “you / TA saved me” but I’d like to think that you and the rest of the guys in TA gave me the tools to be able to save myself. For that I’ll always be so grateful. Sending love both of you beautiful gals 💛

Hey sweet Jenna🧡I hope you’re well✨since ED awareness week, I have gotten even more involved in raising ED awareness. I’ve seen so many more open conversations recently, it’s actually quite overwhelming! I never really saw people talking about eating disorders and I didn’t know where to turn when I was suffering, until thing’s got really bad. I feel so determined to keep raising awareness and help others as much as I can🧡your post got so many people talking, sharing their stories and clearly helped others. THANK YOU for being so open and honest. You’re a wonderful human being and I’m sending you SO much love💛💛💛💛

Looking through the comments has brought tears to my eyes. You sharing your story has inspired others to open up too. It’s made conversation, people are talking and listening. I never had this when I suffered with an eating disorder, this is why I spread awareness now. I’m proud of you, for so many reasons! Honestly, thank you for sharing your story and for being so open and honest. I love and respect you so much Jenna💛💛

Thank you for coming forward with your story! I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for years now and one of the compensatory things I find myself turning to the most is music so thank you for being a part of that. I’m so glad you are doing better and are voicing your journey with such an important topic! EDs do not discriminate and can happen to anyone. Sending so much love to you ❣️
