Feeling Feeling's

The past 5 years I've been numb and I didn't even know. I used my eating disorder as a coping tool which in return made me numb which led to my drug use. Im done with the drugs but now my other coping mechanism is leaving me too. I never thought I'd get rid of the two things that made me feel good but shitty at the same time. Now that I'm working on my eating disorder I can feel emotions, weird huh? Things I'd usually ignore cant be ignored I can feel the consequence's of things. I can feel anger and anxiety and these emotions aren't that plesant. They are very overwhelming and it makes me wonder if I do want to give ED up. I do but now my question is how do I handle these overwhemling feelings in a positive way?
