Low Mood in ED Recovery? (mindset, coping skills, tips)

Low Mood in ED Recovery? (mindset, coping skills, tips)

Listen until the middle/ end for the best tips! (I start this episode with the more obvious/ basic tips for improving your mood.)

Today's episode is about how to cope with low mood in eating disorder recovery. I really enjoyed talking about this topic and sharing how I successfully help my mood day-to-day. This episode is NOT targeting people with clinical depression (although some tips may be relevant). I go into this more in the episode as there is a difference between depressive disorders and low mood, and I do not want to invalidate anybody.

A summary of my tips for coping with low mood….

  • address vitamin deficiencies/ basic physical health
  • a tidy room (and how to actually do this!)
  • Routines, to-do lists, and dopamine.
  • Achievements and easy goals.
  • take a break from social media.
  • change your scenery.
  • social connection.
  • music.
  • childhood comforts.
  • nature/ greenery.
  • address genuine problems in your life and solve issues.
  • become good at self-compassion.
  • Allowing the time of low mood and not forcing it away. Doing low-energy things and giving yourself time for contemplation. Long-term stuff.
  • ‘Glow-up’
  • journalling
  • medication
  • visualizing your adult/ child self.
