The day after Christmas can feel hard.

Difficult thoughts, guilt, or self-criticism can show up - even if yesterday felt manageable. That doesn’t mean something went wrong. Often, it’s a delayed stress response as the intensity of the season begins to settle.

This carousel offers gentle reminders for moments when shame or self-criticism feels loud. Shifting focus, validating yourself, and naming what you’ve already managed can help calm the nervous system.

Care is still allowed today.
And still deserved.

It’s Christmas Day - and for many people, that comes with far more than celebration.

If today feels heavy, tense, or emotionally loud, it doesn’t mean you’re failing or going backwards. A lot can arrive at once - expectations, memories, food, comments, or loss, especially if you’re living with an eating disorder or supporting someone who is.

This carousel offers gentle grounding for moments that feel overwhelming.
Not to fix the day, just to help you feel a little safer within it.

However today unfolds, you deserve care
We’re here, and you’re not alone.

You don’t need to feel festive or prepared tonight.
You just need enough support to get through this moment.

Christmas Eve can bring a quiet build-up of thoughts, about food, routines, people, or tomorrow. If your body feels tense, it’s not a failure. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you.

Slowing the breath can help gently settle things.
You can return to this breathing pattern whenever you need.

We’ll be sharing more support over the next few days
You’re not alone in this.

The festive season can bring connection and warmth, but it can also be a challenging time for many people, especially those living with or recovering from an eating disorder.

Changes in routine, social expectations, and increased focus on food can make emotions feel more intense. If today feels hard, it doesn’t mean you’ve taken a step backwards.

Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing gentle, supportive posts for anyone who might need a little reassurance during this period.

Support is still here.

Hanukkah can be a meaningful time, and it can also feel complicated.

Changes to routine, gatherings, traditions and expectations can bring up difficult emotions, particularly for people living with an eating disorder or supporting someone who is.

There is no “right” way to experience Hanukkah. It’s okay to take things at your own pace, to step back when you need to, or to ask for support.

If you’re finding this time of year difficult, you’re not alone, and help is available. Speaking to a specialist can make a difference.

Orri is here to support you, during Hanukkah and beyond.

The holidays can bring up many different feelings - and there’s no right or wrong way to experience them.

On 17th December (6–7pm), we’re hosting Nurturing Hope: Navigating the Holidays - a gentle, online session offering a supportive space for reflection, understanding, and connection during the festive period.

This session is especially for those in recovery and is designed to feel calm, inclusive, and pressure-free. You’re welcome to join quietly, listen, and take what feels helpful.

Your presence is enough - just as you are.

The period after a meal can be one of the most challenging moments in eating disorder recovery, and this can feel even more amplified during the festive season.

We’ve created a simple 1-minute grounding routine to help you move through those moments with more steadiness and support.
From naming what you’re feeling, to regulating your breath, to reconnecting with your senses, each step is designed to gently interrupt spiralling thoughts and remind you that you’re not alone in this process.

Recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about meeting each moment with compassion and taking the next supportive step.
If you or someone you care about is struggling, our team at Orri is here to help.

The festive season can be a challenging time for many in recovery. Routines shift, conversations change, and gatherings can bring mixed emotions. Setting healthy boundaries can make this time of year feel safer and more manageable.

In this post, we’re sharing a gentle guide with practical tools:
• Ways to reflect on the boundaries you might need
• Grounding techniques for when your nervous system feels overwhelmed
• Simple scripts to help with conversations around food, expectations or pressure
• Internal boundaries, often overlooked, but just as important

Boundaries aren’t about being “difficult”. They’re an act of self-care and a way of protecting your wellbeing.

If this season feels heavy, please know you’re not alone. We hope these ideas offer comfort, clarity and support.

Christmas can be a complex time emotionally, for some it brings joy, and for others it may stir pressure, worry, or uncertainty. Wherever you find yourself this year, we hope this mini-series offers small, steady moments of calm and connection.

Today, we’re sharing a simple grounding tool: the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory exercise, a gentle way to help bring your mind back into the present moment.

We’d also love to hear from you. If there are topics you’d like us to cover throughout December, please comment, message, or email us. Your input helps shape this supportive space.

Everyone deserves support, including men.
Eating disorders and body image distress can affect anyone, yet many men feel unseen or unsure if their experiences are valid.

This Movember, we are highlighting the importance of men’s wellbeing and encouraging conversations that reduce stigma. Speaking out shows strength. Reaching out shows courage. If you are finding things difficult, you do not have to carry it alone.

We are here to listen.

Story of Orri

Orri’s specialist day treatment model follows a “Stepped Approach”; providing individuals with the opportunity to address all different parts of themselves and their everyday lives when in recovery from an eating disorder.

Rather than remove people from their everyday lives and communities, our aim is to keep people in their careers and education whilst they progress in recovery – working collaboratively and flexibly with carers, schools and colleges for sustained recovery.
