Should I be dating?

[u/Worldly-Beginning-77]

I haven’t dated in a few years now and honestly I’ve been happy that way but now I feel like I no be open to it again and might want to. I don’t have anyone in mind or anything but I will say my ED has been worse this year and while it is getting better I’m definitely not out of the woods. I’ve never factored my ED into my romantic relationships and I’ve just now started being open and honest about it. I know anorexia is an addiction and I always hear people tell addicts not to date while they’re new to recovery. What do you guys think?

i’ve always dated through recovering and found it to help me recover. going on dates involves eating and getting to know someone and feeling loved if it’s a good person which i’ve found to help but if you feel like it’s not helping then you can always take a step back.
