NEDAwareness week

This is National Eating Disorder Awareness week. Eating disorders are truly terrible and terrifying, are among the more complex both to understand and to treat in terms of psychological disorders, and are found in places you might not expect. Beyond being about food and its consequences, or even body image, they shape and all too frequently define people's actions, thoughts, social interactions, relationships... lives of otherwise good and happy people are consumed from the inside.


To everyone, please- take a look at this website-

Liberation from dysfunction is a journey of discovery, and understanding yourself, and your self worth, is a constant and lifelong experience. To those suffering, please know that there are people who love you and believe in you, that help is never far, and that you are worth a great deal to those who care about you. Starting the journey is your choice, but once you are on it you never have to walk it truly alone.
