Linn, it felt like you were speaking to me in this post. Despite making big strides over the last few years to be kinder towards myself, I still struggle when it comes to rest. But I'm in the wild roller coaster of perimenopause, and I just seem so much more sensitive to sleep deprivation.
And thank you for mentioning my piece on what I wish I'd known about eating disorders! I had something else planned originally, but once I saw it was awareness week here in the U.S., I felt like it made sense to switch gears.
I feel like you wrote about that experience recently, but when I went looking for it I couldn't find it. Learning how to rest, or even just to be, without guilt or having to earn it, is such a radical counter cultural idea that it requires an ongoing process of unlearning I think! Keep at it x
