We'd love to hear your story!
I wanted to dedicate a few minutes to give my advice, on what I am doing and would do to decrease the likelihood of relapse, increased anxieties and pressure.
Like many of you, I too am battling an eating disorder during the Covid-19 pandemic.
These are hugely uncertain times we live in right now. It is hard to make sense of all the information in the media and to take measures to protect our own mental health.
You just have to remember to be there for them when they need you and gently nudge them in the right direction.
My daughter became unwell in her teens with what we now know was OSFED: Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder.
I feel very lucky to have found a support group – but it would have been wonderful if this had been available more locally.
The right support and information helps family and loved ones understand, so they can provide the love and care needed for everyone.
Take part in this epic and prestigious challenge to ensure that Beat are there to help more families face eating disorders together.
Take on The Big Jump together to help end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.
I have been a digital volunteer for Beat for just over six months now and I can honestly say it is one of the most amazing things that I have ever done.
I imagine my journey as a Beat volunteer started similarly to many of my colleagues – having the difficult and unfortunate experience of encountering an eating disorder up close, in my case from a carer's perspective.
At Beat, there has never been any place for judgement nor lack of understanding, which has made each one of my volunteering shifts feel sincerely appreciated, acknowledged and, in a nutshell, special!
