Next Monday marks the start of Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which typically gives me time to reflect on my own recovery. But this year, I thought I’d focus on something a little different, which is by *far* the most common question I receive from people:
This is really well written and so interesting to hear from the other side of the spectrum. I have a loved one with an ED and took a large role in caring/supporting her when she was very sick and I think everything you said rings true. I would also note that I started therapy when helping her and it really helped me develop strategies and also heal my own food/body issues that were making it harder for me to help her. Thankyou x
Just got around to reading this. Thanks for your courage and honesty. This is very concrete and helpful. I love you and support you on your recovery. You are the best.
