As a 43-year-old woman currently in outpatient treatment for my eating disorder, I wanted to share some encouragement for anyone else going through a similar experience. It’s not easy, and there are definitely tough days, but I’ve found so much strength in this process. Surrounding myself with a supportive treatment team and fellow individuals on a similar path has been incredibly empowering. I’ve learned that it’s okay to ask for help and to lean on others when I need it. While the road to recovery can feel long and daunting, there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Each small step forward is a victory, and I remind myself of that every day. To anyone else in outpatient treatment, remember that you are not alone, and you are stronger than you realize. Keep going, one day at a time. You’ve got this.
