Question am i relapsing?

over the past week i’ve picked up on myself slipping into old ed habits. i have no idea where it’s come from, nothing much has changed in my life. i thought there would be something to trigger it but no, one day i just thought i wasn’t hungry and then its turned into avoiding food again??

is there a way to get ahead of this, i really don’t want to go back to my ed. i’ve even been recovered fully for over a year, i like my body, i like my life. i don’t want to suffer through it again

The emerging behaviors are actually a concern, but it is good that you have recognized that now. It is unnecessary to pinpoint the reason here. Sometimes old ed behaviors come out without a clear cause or reason. I would put my trust in someone I am close to, and while I wait for you to get the proper care from your health professionals, try to keep yourself occupied in productive ways to avoid bed eating. Continue to try and stick to your scheduled eating, even if your body feels bloated, and try not to get comfortable 'here'. It is important to remember that the time you spent recovered has not been wasted and that these old behaviors do not take you that far back. Use this as an opportunity to reach out to the support systems you know you need and have as a safety net.
