Some of you may have seen this - a share from Facebook.
Asked to put his views in a nutshell, I suppose.

"I consider this short piece to be the most important thing I have ever had to say on the subject of eating disorder recovery. Bottom line: if you get this --- and live it --- you will recover. To the degree you use the separation metaphor to increase your sense of victimization, you will not."

Very interesting text, Rache, thanks for posting :)

Personally, I try to distinguish between "blame" and "responsibility".

I don't blame myself for being ill, I damn well blame the sickness for how it makes me feel, but what I do is my responsibility and I'm the one who has to take action. So, when it comes to the question of what to do it's probably leading to the same conclusions.
But acknowledging how fucked and mean that ED voice in the back of my head is...this seems important to me.
