“I’d like to take my brain out sometimes and wash it under the tap”. Brilliant. I feel this SO hard. 😘

Keep in mind that mindfulness doesn't have to mean meditation. It can be putting on quiet music and stretching, or drawing, or cooking, or painting, or journaling. The idea is that your mind is present on what you're doing. Don't stress yourself about the activities you don't like and try activities that you do like

And on this weeks episode of ‘undoing the internet’s detrimental bull crap’ , we have a gorgeous gal honouring her cravings and appreciating the simple things 💫💫💫

i’ve grown so much with you, thank you for everything you do

today I had a cheese, tomato panini and tomatoes soup for dinner. it was intimating and i didnt want to eat it, but utterly worth it (my child self loved this dinner). I'm proud of you, and of anyone else who eats and lives as they deserves. I hope for the best for everyone who sees these videos because you deserve it :)

Eating a strawberry and granola bowl with you Ro! Thank you for always being such a safe space and sharing so much wisdom :)

At about 8 minutes -“ I hate you, you just want to make me eat” this made me laugh because it’s way to close to home 😂been there more than I can count. I’m SO proud of how far you’ve come 🥰🥰

As usual you're absolutely smashing recovery and kicking anorexias butt, you're voice is so soothing as well I could watch and listen to you all day! 💗💗💗

Ro I love the way you edit your videos you always find the way to capture the beauty in every little thing. ps: the bangs look amazing!!

Don't know what I'd do without your videos, having my supplement drink now and using your video as meal support/ a distraction and it's helping sm x thank you for everything!

OMGG Seeing progress you had done is incredible! Last time I saw your old videos.. you’ve changed a lot ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so motivated to fight myself, thanks to your results I know It’s possible

I’m so proud of you!!🤍

LOVE your aesthetic- it's so earthy and chill 💚💙

I was SO close to relapsing today, but I watched your video and grabbed some lunch. Thank you for being here

Ro, I was super knackered every morning and struggled to get outta bed, but when I got on top of taking iron tablets it got waaaaay better. Would recommend checking your iron levels and take iron tablets.

You're videos are so calming and aesthetic. I love your vlogs so much 💓

Thank you Ro for the video^^ It’s always lovely to listen to you 🌷

Gold!!!! Love it Ro! 💫💫

Have a cold shower in the morning! It’s honestly the best thing, and always wakes me up and makes me feel so much better 💕

Hi Ro, I’m just SO proud of you. You’ve made it so far. Also love your new hair, it suits you really well. For meditation I’m using Insight timer, this one is actually helpful for me. Thanks for being here. Sending love from the heart of Europe ;)

you are really beautiful ❤️ you are such a huge inspiration! never stop doing the right thing 😊

Starting my first ed treatment program tomorrow and tbh I'm really fucking scared. Watching your videos and your recovery progress has been extremely motivational and has helped me realize I don't want to be ruled by this illness anymore. Thank you for showing us all the beauty and freedom that comes with recovery. Wish me luck!💕

loving your videos ro

Hi I just wanted to thank you your videos have helped me so much this past few months ❤️

hey ro, just want to thank you for this video. I am so excited to watch it later. I can‘t say how much you are helping all of us!! I started real anorexia recovery and it is so scary and hard to challenge fears and changing. I am so scared how my body and my personality will change, but you show me that it will worth it and there will be a life full of food freedom and happiness!! Thank you!!!also you‘re really glowing and looking absolutely beautiful

was just listening to your spotify playlist when u posted a new video - life is good

Ro this is so cute, I’m really loving these different types of videos. They are so comforting. Hope you are doing ok!

Yes, love this style video! You’re beautiful and I love your channel!

Just found your channel and wow I love it so much. I love your honesty and openness. I have had an extremely difficult mental health year and it feels like such a blessing that we are “all in it together” lol you know what I mean. Sending love.

Hair looks amazing Ro!

Your nails look so beautiful!! Love the color ❤🎉

Your videos are just what I need ❤ especially when I'm having a hard day

actually your hair looks great in that last segment. love the bangs!

Love that silver paperclip necklace! Im obsessed w jewellry too. Tiffanys and custom stuff

Your new hair is honestly so cute x

Ive been watching since the beginning of your recovery. You are amazing!

I totally get the spaced out feeling. I find this happens when I'm anxious. Lots of love xxx

Your such a comforting account! I love you♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for being honest and still publishing this. It’s so nice to see genuine reality rather than everything being sugar-coated.

My snack while watching was extra crispy corn chips with salt and lime seasoning on them and a lime soda water. Watching this and having a quick snack before making chicken, white rice, and grilled veg for dinner with korean bbq sauce. Thanks for the share! Love joining you for meal times 🙂

Thank for the reminder to eat with you! I have been struggling with eating my snacks, and your reminder gave me the push I needed to go grap a snack. I made myself a cappuccino and took some Milka chocolate and almonds. That's a UGE step for me !! ❤️🫶🏻

I’m so glad you posted, I’ve been struggling lately. With digestive issues so it’s hard to continue to nourish my body. And, I had this gluten free pretzel bun thing, with choc spread, banana, and on the other side a egg. And my sister looked at me and said, “how r u healthy if you eat chocolate so much” I literally almost didn’t eat it. But I pushed through

was happy when I received a notification from your channel. I am following you and I am now in the recovery period from anorexia and eating disorder. I love you so much

I discovered your channel last year and I've been watching you religiously ever since that day. I'm a recovered binge eater and I always found your videos to have a nice effect on my mental health. Thanks

She’s gloowwwwing! ✨✨✨✨😍

All the jewelry looks really good on you ☺️

I loved this video Ro, please do more this style :)

Honestly it was so so lovely to see you feeling good, and relatively calm, especially at your parents and in the morning when it rained. The progress you’ve made is so inspiring and it just lifted my spirits to see you so smiley! But I have to say it was equally as inspiring to see you share how the day didn’t go so well, and to be honest about that. I know exactly what you mean about being frustrated that a “good day” was “ruined” by feeling worse again, it made me feel very seen and understood. Thank you for always being so honest about what it’s really like to have a mental illness, while still being such a safe space!! Big love xx

Very excited to watch! Your such an inspiration! Thank u for being so amazing!

Another fantastic video………….thank you Ro 😍❤️

It's been raining here nowadays too, Ro! Always greateful for your life for your vlogs are very helpful in my ED (AN) Recovery! Sending Love and Support 🙌

It’s amazing how far you’ve come in your recovery, Ro! You truly helped me on my recovery journey! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us❤️

Hey Ro. Thank you once again for filming this video and including the reality of living with CPTSD I'm sorry the day started so well but ended in a way that was so traumatic for you. Well done for trying to go to IKEA on the bus despite already being dissociated. As opposed to meditation I sometimes find that having a special place within my home helpful. A designated room, corner, bean bag etc to go to where I feel safe. I also like to use a weighted blanket or weighted lap cushion (I have one that you can also wrap around your shoulders which feels like a hug and is quite soothing and grounding)I either listen to an audio book (usually something light-hearted, a favourite childhood book for example or watch a favourite Disney DVD ) also a hot bath can sometimes bring me out of it or the opposite of this and eating or drinking something ice cold. Jason Stephenson on KZfaq does some good guided meditations though if that's what you prefer to try. Also those sleep stories you can find on KZfaq. A walk outside in nature can help. Breathing in the fresh air and focusing on what is going on around you. Looking at flowers, listening to the birdsong, water (if near a stream/waterfall) or if in a more urban area, counting how many lampposts you can see, how many red cars, how many litter bins. ANYTHING to bring you back to the present and your surroundings. At least now you recognise the spaced out feelings as being dissociation which is a step forward. As you say, recovery isn't linear but keep going sweetie and keep challenging yourself. As with the anorexia, recovery from CPTSD will be easier some days than others but try not to cast judgement on it and compassionately accept that despite your best efforts, some days will just be a bit 💩 but that's ok. One day at a time. Think of how far you've come in so many ways and in so many areas of your life. You can and will overcome these hurdles. I have faith in you. Proud of you Ro xx ❤️🌈 Ps love your new haircut. Saw it on Instagram yesterday properly styled. You honestly looked stunning x

Thank you for being so honest as always, and showing us real life. The jewellery was stunning, especially the earrings, I think you suit silver better (your skin is cool toned, more pinkey than yellowey?), but if you like gold too then definitely wear both :)

literal comfort youtuber

Lovely to see how you're doing and being honest about how you're feeling and I've had the panic attack thing before too where my dad had to come get me I was a mess 🙈😅💖

Congratulations on your sponsorship 🙌🙌🙌 the jewellery is beautiful ❤️

I love those croissants 😍 they’re usually a special treat for me to look forward to after physiotherapy 🤣

Your bangs look soooo good👌🏻✨

thank you for sharing your struggles, I appreciate you

I saw you for the first time a year ago, when you really struggled while eating fear foods. I forgot about it and now suddenly I just remembered that video and went to see how you were doing. I see that you are doing better and have come a long way. That is very inspirational and very surely motivates others and me. What you do is amazing! Cheers and hope you have an amazing day!☺️

Your videos are just so chill and comforting, thank you so much for this ♥️

this whole vid was so calming

Hey Ro! Loved the video and your bangs look fab! I have cptsd too, it can be so difficult but we are amazing. we have got this! you've got this!

Some different mindful practices that I like are (1) body scans! I liked the nighttime guided ones on headspace, but now I do them on my own. And (2) writing about my surroundings, just describing what I’m sensing and leading myself to simply notice. :)

Just saying your hair looks incredible with the certain bangs, before you said you had your hair done at the end of your vid I was thinking wow her hair looks very cool! I love it!

i love your videos so much ro, thanks for being you 🫶🏻

you are so unbelievably beautiful!! your eyes are gorgeous and i love your energy! :)

I have meltdowns in public it feels embarrassing but your not alone! Its ok to have a blip...a single defeat is not a final defeat! Much love 😘❤

YASS!! I was craving a nutella bagel so here i am eating it with you ty🥰

the bose headphones are the best! can‘t imagine my life without them to be completely honest🤭 oh and i think u r really a gold jewelry girl, but silver suits u as well😍

currently eating a delish yoghurt bowl. also i think gold jewellery really suits u!

so much joy watching your videos. your amazing ro, thank you for all u do gorgeous. sending all my love❤️❤️❤️

Im watching this on my second day in a unit and I’m terrified. The only thing that’s been able to calm me down is ro 💗

The gold rings with the green nails I love

I was eating a bakewelll tart! Thank you for calming video🥧🍰

as someone who also suffers with my mental health and has been challenging public transport lately (especially buses) I totally understand having a meltdown on the bus. anxiety is shit and makes us feel like the world is ending when it isn't, however, people around us don't understand because they're not feeling the same way which can make it 100x worse. i hope that made sense and i'm sorry that you also have to go through that

This channel is completely a safe place😩✨

I was like you when I was 14-18 with CAMHS but I’ve started doing it again and obviously it’s not a cure all but it can really help. I prefer random mindfulness like when you go on a walk, I also do music mindfulness where you just completely focus on the music (instrumental music ) and also saying a positive mantra to yourself constantly until you feel completely calm, that one really clears my head

Been here since your first video and I couldn’t believe how much time had gone by until I saw that first video randomly show up on my news feed… I was like omg!!! She’s coke so far 🥺 but at the same time not that much time has passed either and you’ve come a long way in a short space of time!

im so glad you feel pretty because you look stunning and your whole aura and personality is so pretty and comforting. the jewellery looks gorgeous and i have no idea how you do it but your definitely a gold and silver girl. love you so much x

I think definitely try mindfulness again! Like you, whenever camhs/doctors/therapists would tell me to do mindfulness it didn’t work and it felt like it was just a cop out for them so it just made me angry. However, recently I’ve been doing various short meditations on Spotify (years later) and it really does work. It feels much better when it’s on your own terms! 💕 Ps I find 10 minutes a good length

As someone who spent a year in a residential DBT based therapeutic community, I definitely have several thoughts on mindfulness. I used to hate it too, I hate meditation, I hate sitting with my thoughts. But what I learnt is that mindfulness is about being in the present moment. And how that can be achieved is different for everyone. Sometimes it’s about doing the cleaning but being really aware of everything you are doing and seeing. Sometimes it’s about being in the moment in a sport or physical activity (for me it’s roller skating), sometimes it is about lying in the garden and looking at clouds. Sometimes it’s about doing one task and not multitasking. Basically it’s about being in the moment, not meditation!

those sainsbury's chocolate croissants were one of my first recovery breakfasts! they're so yummy

I love recovering with you c:
