I have really irregular and unhealthy eating habits and I’m scared that it’ll get worse and develop into an eating disorder. I restrict daily and…

I think you should talk to someone love. Your behaviors are clearly maladaptive and if you don’t already meet criteria for an eating disorder, you are on you way too, which it sounds like you are aware of and don’t want to happen. Research has continuously shown that early intervention leads to better outcomes in recovery. It can be scary at first to admit you have maladaptive eating behaviors, but find someone you trust to confide in. I would also really encourage you to get professional help from someone who specializes in eating disorders so instead of going backwards, you move forwards.

Self-Soothing Techniques when Feeling Traumatized

Written by Cristina Smugala, LPC When a person experiences trauma, their body decrease the ability to control their emotions. As Mollon’s research suggested, the experience of trauma deregulates the individual’s ability to regulate emotional experience and manage physical arousal (Mollon, 2005). This process may leave the trauma survivor very attune and vulnerable to any emotional, physical, and sensory cues that remind the individual of the trauma. When a trauma cue is present, the mind and the body become activated similarly to being exposed to the actual threat (Van der Kolk, 2002). This experience of hyperarousal makes it important for trauma survivors to build skills that will strengthen their ability to not only regulate emotions, but increase their ability to experience safety in the present moment.

This is one person’s story; everyone will have unique experiences on their own path to recovery and beyond. Some stories may mention eating disorder thoughts, behaviors or symptom use.
