What does Recovery mean to You?
Recovery is a tricky thing! It is something you'd think anyone would aspire towards and yet keeping up motivation for that end goal isn't easy. There are days when you wonder why you ever thought recovery would be worth it. However hard it is, it will always be worth the fight!
We know that many people can be ambivalent about recovery, questioning whether recovery is worth it or even feasible. In the face of this uncertainty, it may be helpful to think out loud about what recovery would mean to you? What would you like your life after the eating disorder to look like? What would you be aiming towards?
We’d like to facilitate a process of sharing these thoughts between individuals attending SRSH support groups across the country and with students who are thinking about attending SRSH groups or even simply thinking "should I consider recovery?"
To take part, you can either take a moment to think about recovery and write down your thoughts in an SRSH support group session, or you can email us at .
What will we do with your recovery thoughts and aspirations? We will be uploading all the recovery aspirations to our webpage. These will be shared via our blog and social media. Over time, we hope to collate a collection of inspiration to motivate students across the country, including you, through recovery.

WHY THIS IMAGE MEANS RECOVERY TO ME:
1) The butterfly toy represents a return to feeling more carefree, and more excited about life and the prospect of ‘spreading my wings’ like I did as a child before my eating disorder. 2) I like candles and I felt as if the candle represented finding out what I like and don’t like outside of anorexia and regaining a sense of identity and self. 3) The little yellow smile is actually a stress ball; I feel as if in recovery I have learnt to cope with powerful emotions like grief, fear and anger in a much more positive way. 4) The bra reflects the way I feel recovery has made me grow as a young woman, accept my body, even appreciate it sometimes, and not to be too ashamed of myself to engage in relationships with men. 5) The scales; they’re covered up. Life is no longer dictated by a number. |
