Is it impossible to recover for certain people?

I think everyone can recover from an ED if they get the right tools to do so and the right support. Recovery can be likened with finding the keys to a lot of doors and all those doors reveals a part of the recovery landscape. The more doors I open the more of the healthy landscape I see. When the landscape is bigger than my ED world I move into the new one and just now and then I peep into a door to the old world, but then I am reminded of the fear based life on the other side and quickly go back.

So one actively look for the right keys. It can be topics about how to set boundaries, how to express emotions, how to find the right kind of love, how to tolerate all kinds of bodies, how to detach from thoughts, how to change mindsets, how to love, how to challenge fears, how to trust the body, how to eat healthy, how to not care about what others opinion is, how companies creates and benefits from peoples insecurities. The list is long.

For me it helped to watch a lot of recovery youtube videos, but most importantly my own questions to myself so I could understand why I did what I did, how it benefitted me, which of my unhealthy opinions were taught and not really mine, what my true opinions really were. Again the list is long.

First thing I did was to make a meal plan - that neither scared me too much to refuse to eat it nor was so meager I would be too hungry - and follow that. That gave room to think about all these questions instead of food/body/exercise/number/how to endure all the time.
