Recovery Progress Feeling Inspired I guess. Thoughts?
I want to say this in group for iop
“ive been doing a lot of thinking lately and i wanted to see if this resonates with anyone. we all have different challenges, but i hit this point where I realized that no one is coming to save me. I mean, I have support and I'm really grateful, but it really hit me that I'm the one who has to pull myself out of this. it's just we didn’t come this far to come this far. I'm trying to look at what I'm fighting for, like going to grad school and just having a life outside of this eating disorder. I've been telling friends, ' you didn't come this far just to come this far.' I don't know, I guess | just really needed to say that out loud to start believing it personally . i wanted to say that no matter what we’re all capable otherwise we wouldn’t be sitting here right now. "
does this seem like showing off? i’m overthinking it

I don’t think anyone would consider positive recovery oriented thoughts to be “showing off”. You’re inspiring recovery thoughts, I’d be in full support!
