DO I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER? DO I HAVE A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND EATING?

DO I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER? DO I HAVE A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND EATING? 

 

We get 1000s of emails a year from men, women, transgender, gender fluid, non-binary (and those who identify with other genders) asking if they had an eating disorder or if their eating 'problem' was 'bad' enough to get help, support or therapy.

As far as we have always been concerned since we started in 2009, anyone who feels and thinks that their relationship with food and eating is difficult, problematic or distressful in some way deserves help and support.

The link below provides some questions to ask yourself regarding your relationship with food and eating. We hope this is helpful to some people who might currently be questioning their relationship with food.

ANYONE of any age, gender, nationality, race, culture, religion, sexuality, socioeconomic background, occupation,and weight can experience an eating disorder, disordered eating or a food and eating difficultly - eating disorders do not discriminate.

Eating disorders don't care whose life they destroy.

You deserve help and support. Feel free to look at the Eating Questionnaire here: https://eatingdisorderscotland.co.uk/eating-questionnaire.html

If you then decide you would like to access some psychotherapy, counselling or dietitian support, feel free to get in touch and we can offer you support with one of our experienced, warm, encouraging and supportive psychotherpaists and counsellors. We can also provide appointments with a specialist eating disorder dietitian too, should you wish to access that service.

Our contact details are below. We can provide in-person appointments at our offices in Glasgow city centre or online or telephone therapy to anyone in the UK (we have therapists across the UK).

Get in touch to find out how we can support you with whatever you are going through. We are here to listen and support you - at your pace.

Best wishes,

Talking EDs: Eating Disorders Support Service Scotland
