Eating Disorders

I’ve learned a hard but important lesson: I no longer give my family my energy when it comes to how they talk about my mental health or the challenges they’ve caused in my life. I’ve set boundaries and told them—I don’t want to have this conversation.

The lesson I’ve learned is this: the people and resources we give our energy to, especially during certain times of the year, really matter. Why? Because our energy is finite. Every ounce spent on negativity, judgment, or drama is an ounce we can’t use for our healing, growth, or joy.

Choosing where to focus your attention isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. It’s saying, “I matter. My mental health matters. My peace matters.” And especially around the holidays, when emotions run high, protecting your energy isn’t just smart—it’s survival.

So this year, I’m holding space for my own well-being first, and letting go of conversations, people, and situations that deplete me. It feels like freedom. And honestly? That’s a gift I give myself.

I hope life gets better for me everyday in every way and I hope that for all of you too! I don’t know why people say such mean things. I emailed a model once and told her what I was going through with my mental health journey and her reply was that my life will get worse and worse over the years that she will pray for me. I swear I hope that’s not true because I deserve a life that always continues to get better for me in every way and so do all of you!
