What's important
avoid exhaustion
find yourself a good counselor who's familiar with the illness
take time for deep breathing, walking, relaxation techniques that work for you
read a book that's not about ED
yoga, exercise, listening to music
outings with friends-just for fun-not for talking about ED
set time limits for researching the illness so it doesn't become all consuming
remember who you were before the illness happened-do the things you enjoyed or that brought you peace or laughter (and that you haven't made time for)
If you take care of yourself-you can take care of others
