Today, I would like to focus on what it means to have supportive people. I have read and thought through this topic a lot as it relates to my eating disorder. I'm fortunate to have so many different types of supportive people in my life.
I have found there are three categories of support in my life. Professionals, family and friends.
The professionals in my life really understand what I'm going through and help me to make better choices or reframe my thinking. I am super fortunate to have an amazing nutritiionist and therapist that every couple of weeks, they take time out their schedules to care and help me cope.
My family may not always know what is going on in my head, but they are always there. Always, they are there for me to call when I'm struggling. Most of them time, they just let me chatter away, because they know that is what I need to get through the moment.
Lastly, there are my friends. I don't expect them to be there all the time, but I do expect them to just be supportive. I happen to have some outstanding friends that when I need to veg or de-stress they are always there.
These people make me smile every day and make me want my recovery more and more. I hope you take time to think through who will most support you in your recovery and make sure they know they are appreciated.
Happy Friday to all!!!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
