Community check in - Support is allowed 💜

If today feels heavy, we want to remind you that support is allowed — and it can take many forms.
That might mean talking to a friend or family member.
It might mean reaching out to a service, helpline, or professional.
Or it might mean simply letting someone know you’re struggling.

For those supporting individuals with an eating disorder, this can include educating ourselves, challenging stigma, using respectful language, checking in consistently, and creating environments where recovery feels supported rather than rushed.

You deserve support at every stage✨

If you are struggling, we are here to support - please reach out:

Communities that listen, support, and empower can be a vital part of recovery for those living with eating disorders.

Eating disorders thrive in silence and isolation. Recovery, however, grows through connection. When communities choose empathy over assumptions and support over stigma, they help create safer spaces where healing can begin and continue.

Compassion and understanding make all the difference.

Setbacks do not erase progress.

Bad days do not cancel out effort.

Healing from an eating disorder or mental health struggle is challenging, can take time, and is deeply human. If today feels hard, that doesn’t mean recovery isn’t happening.

Here are some quotes to remind you that you are not alone 💜

If you are struggling, please reach out to those around you whether that be your friends and family or healthcare professionals like your keyworker, GP or your community mental health services.

Separating you from the eating disorder

Eating disorders often speak in our own voice — which makes them incredibly convincing.

But thoughts shaped by illness are not the same as you.
You are allowed to question them. ❓
You are allowed to be unsure. 🤷‍♀️
You are allowed compassion. ❤️

Community support creates understanding, accountability, and hope making recovery from eating disorders stronger, safer, and more sustainable.

Happy Ramadan!

Ramadan is a month of spirituality, self-reflection, and gratitude but for someone with an eating disorder, it can be triggering and induce anxiety.

It is important to keep checking in with yourself. Some people can start to experience unhelpful thoughts about losing weight through fasting, so keep reminding yourself of the real meaning behind Ramadan.
Also, be compassionate to yourself. It is ok if things do not go to plan and remind yourself of your goals 🧡

Please reach out for support!

The emphasis on New Year’s resolutions, often focused on weight loss, can reinforce unhealthy perspectives about food and body image. Each year this pressure resurfaces and can be triggering for those with an eating disorder by promoting unrealistic body standards.

Why not try aiming for resolutions and goals that aim to support your wellbeing 💜Here are a few more ideas for the new year:

- Learn a new skill
- Plan a trip/holiday
- Engage more socially with those around you
- Practice mindfulness
- Write a gratitude list
- Look at volunteering
- Joining a support group
- Practicing self-care
