So real quick I just want to say that this is my personal opinion and may not suit everyone, so if some of the do's aren't comfortable that's okay :)
Just make sure you're recovering and caring for yourself!
DO:
- set up safety nets to prevent relapse
- be open and honest
- follow recovery oriented accounts
- keep it positive and progress focused
- be your authentic self
- keep yourself accountable
- involve people who can safely support you
- share what makes you feel good
- take your time recovering
- allow yourself to take breaks
- post when you want even if it's 10 times a day or once every month
- step safely out of your comfort zone when you can
- report and/or block things that are triggering or uncomfortable
- whatever is comfortable and safe
DON'T:
- put weights or stats in your bio
- follow accounts that post thinspo or are not in recovery
- go into extreme detail about numbers or anything potentially triggering
- use hashtags that often contain triggering material
- post anything that isn't settling well with you
- feel obligated to let everyone in on it if you don't want to
- post thinspo, diets, or anything that may need clarification to deny it being pro-ed
- post anything that isn't clearly recovery focused
- fake your happiness or progress
- use the account if it makes you uncomfortable
Also, if you're accessing this via my post about pro ana accounts, I'm thrilled you're here and taking the step towards recovery❤ You can do this, my love!
