Mental Health Awareness Month this year inspired me to be a bit more vulnerable and share aspects of my story that I live with in relative silence - I hope in sharing, these videos will help others reclaim their voice and recovery, too. 💖 youtu.be/x0GVIvt6txg?...

Anorexia Inpatient & Residential Care: When Treatment is Traumatic

It's important to share our stories on the other side of darkness. Similar to vicarious trauma, we may experience vicarious hope. I borrowed hope from others when I lost my own. I am alive because of it and regained meaning in life after years being without.

Spotlight effect - we thinks others are judging us more than they are. Liking gap - we underappreciate just how much people like us after engagements. Our brains have biases. You are doing better than you think. Keep showing up and being you. You matter. 💗

I live with anorexia, but I am not “anorexic.” When the ED is your identity, it’s harder to free yourself. Language matters.

Jillian Rigert, DMD, MD, ACC @jillianrigert.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
One of the worst things you can say to someone living with anorexia is "You don't look anorexic." Despite the stereotypically portrayed frail white woman with AN- many (of all races and genders) are suffering without appearing ill. AN thrives on invalidation- don't fuel it.

Being an adult doesn't have to be boring and colorless. I fit in... Wore the black suit. Played the part. Acted more like the men around me. And then I broke free. If you're ready to stop fitting in boxes that weren't made for you- Buckle up, I'll help you navigate.

Here's the deal... people really aren't thinking about you as much as you think that they are. They are thinking about themselves. Use that information to your advantage by focusing on what matters most to you- not what you think you need to do for others' approval.

Anorexia nervosa is very fascinating to live with. It tells me what you all care what I weigh and what size I wear, yet really no one knows nor cares.. and if they do care about my body size, it has more to say about them than me. Yet, knowing this doesn't quiet or cure AN.

Many individuals who have had higher level treatment for eating disorders then pursue treatment for the trauma created by being a patient in those centers - often experiencing an exacerbation of eating disorder symptoms once out. We need better options for eating disorder care.
