Reaching out, getting support and talking to someone about what you're feeling or thinking can be tricky sometimes, can't it?




Reaching out, getting support and talking to someone about what you're feeling or thinking can be tricky sometimes, can't it?. There's lots to consider: is this the right person to tell?; is it the right time?; what will I say?; what if I get upset?; what about their response?
This can sometimes put us off reaching out and getting support. The little info-graphic below can help take you through this process and move you towards getting the help and support you need and deserve. 

I hope you find the poster above useful. Of course, we have therapists and counsellors her at Talking EDs too who yo can talk to and who are here to listen. All therapists and counsellors and experienced and fully qualified. Just get in touch if you wish to find out how we can help.

Focus on.... Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS)

EDNOS/OSFED is just as serious and debilitating as any other form of eating disorder and needs to be taken more seriously. Unfortunately, however, in our experience, this is often not the case and many are not given appropriate treatment or support (whether from family, friends, professionals and others) and the condition can deteriorte and even change into another form of eating disorder.
