In short: I've learnt how to live again and how to be me – beyond a disorder. There's immense pressure on young people to go to university, and I know a graduation photo looks fabulous on the mantelpiece, but if you don't want to go or aren't ready, you're allowed to be proud of the alternative avenue you choose. My life is undoubtedly better because of that one thing that I didn't do, and I celebrate that. Not doing stuff is cool. Not going to the party, not having plucked your eyebrows super thin in the early noughties, not eating that apple, not resisting that cake, and not going to university – especially if it could save your life. If there are things you feel you missed out on that you regret, you can always do them later. I could go to university and get a degree now but had I gone before, I would never have been able to get my life back. Life shouldn't just be about celebrating the trophies, medals and the big moments everyone claps for. It's also about celebrating your own personal wins, which may well take you in alternative directions.
There was no lightbulb moment where I decided I needed to make that GP appointment, but I felt so trapped in the cycle of my eating disorder for a long time that seeing everyone else flying the nest hit me with real anxiety about what my future might look like, or if I'd even have one at all. So as my friends went off to embark on degrees, I committed to pursuing recovery, and in 2019 I made a GP appointment. I was referred to an eating disorder service where I was assigned a specialist, with whom I've had regular appointments since spring last year. While my progression into adulthood started a little differently to everyone else's, I stand by the fact that saying no to university saved my life. I would've gone during the peak of my eating disorder, moved out of my hometown and lived in an alien city. I now clearly understand that I wouldn't be alive today had I gone away and been left to my own devices. I've learnt how to live again and how to be me – beyond a disorder I would've continued to starve myself, only this time I wouldn't have had the safety net of my family to at least make sure I ate a meal at some point.
