Eating disorder might be coming back :(

I lost 30 pounds when my eating disorder started more than a year ago, and got to 112lbs at 5'7''. Then I recovered and gained up to 127lbs. Now I'm around 121lbs -- weirdly lost weight without much effort, because I was taking fluoxetine and it took away my appetite. I was doing alright, happy with my body and eating what I wanted when I wanted it, stopped counting calories and everything was fine.

I don't take fluoxetine anymore. But now my brain wants to convince me that I can lose some more weight and not get all crazy and anorexic again -- which is very triggering. I know I'm at a healthy weight and that I don't need to lose, but something inside me wants me to.

I always support people on this site who want to recover and come to my inbox for help. But this time I may be the one who's needing some help. Can someone say some words of encouragement please? I don't want to get sick again. :(
