How do I get rid of the “bad thoughts”?

I’ve been dealing with anorexia for the past 1.5 years. I started getting a lot better in April. I managed to gain back 20 lbs since then. However, the main person who helped me get that far (my best friend) JUST MOVED! I’ve been fine fore about 3 weeks know…but lately I’ve been waking up from the “bad thoughts” again. They are usually night mares of people screaming that I’m fat, ugly etc. or a nightmare of me just sitting in front of a mirror watching myself morph. Its really scary and after those dreams its hard to look at myself in a good way. I end up with the urges to skip meals and that scares me more. I’m so confused and I can’t really talk to my friend at night anymore cause its a 6 our time difference. I just need help.

You are more than your body. Your worth is not related to how you phisically look like. You have a mind, personallity and all the others that form a complete human being. I think you should start changing the foundations of your self esteem.

Read a book do something to get it off your mind. Spend time with friends and stay busy

Stay distracted. Hang around people you trust as often as possible. When the image of people calling you fat and ugly comes to your mind give them a face, in your mind. Give them a face of something you can laugh at, something that you can look down on when you see it. Feel like you have power over your fears. I know this may sound ridiculous but it has helped people in similar conditions as yourself.

Skype your friend and tell them what's going on. Call them or even text but keep eating reguraly and keep your head held high. If you want you can message me for anything else (:
