As #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek draws to a close, I want to leave a bit of hope. Mid 2019-mid 2020 was one of the worst years of my life. I was completely consumed by my anorexia, at risk of losing my job, barely able to function and absolutely miserable. 1/

For #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, I wrote about an eating disorder you might not have heard of: diabulimia. allure.com/story/diabulim… @MelainieRogers @DrNesochi @WeAreDiabetes #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek #edrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #EDAW2019 #edawareness #diabetes
Also, a reminder that if someone you love has an eating disorder, any comments about their looks (even well intentioned) have the potential to trigger them. ravishly.com/2015/02/26/5-t… @ravishlydotcom #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek #edrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #EDAW2019
Another reminder: There's no such thing as looking like you have an eating disorder. Anyone around you could have one, and "you don't look sick" is both triggering and invalidating. glamour.com/story/theres-n… #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek #edrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness
