Triggered by new classmate with obvious ED. But I’m in recovery

Recovery Support

I’ve been in recovery for around 6 months now (with some setbacks), and a few days ago I started a new uni course. One of the girls in my group has very obvious signs of an ED (takes one to see one 🤪) and it’s just very triggering and makes my brain “miss” the ED. I think it’s extra triggering since I’ve been in a daily binge-cycle the past weeks which always makes me feel more of a failure.

It’s just difficult to deal with these triggers when I’m already going against the ED in lots of ways :/
