What If I Can't Handle Being Healthy?

  • Resumen

  • "What if I can't handle being healthy?"

    This question haunted me for years, echoing through my thoughts each time I contemplated recovery. My eating disorder was never about the food, the weight, or even the physical aspects of health – it was about what being "well" would mean. Because being healthy meant being responsible.

    In this episode, we explore how eating disorders can function as a shield against adulthood, particularly for neurodivergent individuals navigating a neurotypical world. Through examining the complex relationship between autism and anorexia, you'll discover why recovery isn't just about changing behaviors – it's about redefining freedom on your own terms.

    Key Topics:

    • The paradox of being "mature for your age" while fearing adulthood
    • How eating disorders can become a response to undiagnosed autism
    • Why the fear of being healthy is often about avoiding responsibility
    • The unique challenges neurodivergent people face in eating disorder recovery
    • Finding freedom through appropriate boundaries rather than restrictions
