Not every struggle with food has a name — but that doesn’t make it less valid. 🍽️

Disordered eating and eating disorders exist on the same spectrum.

Both can be painful, isolating, and all-consuming.

And both deserve compassion, not comparison. 🌿

You don’t need to “fit” a diagnosis to ask for help — if food and body thoughts are taking up too much space, support is available. 💙

Therapy isn’t always calm or comforting — sometimes it feels worse before it feels better. 🌿

You’re unpacking years of pain, patterns, and protection — that’s brave work.

Feeling heavy doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you’re healing. 💙

Calling someone “high-functioning” isn’t a compliment — it’s a misunderstanding.

It praises the mask, not the person.

Just because someone looks like they’re coping doesn’t mean they don’t need support. 💙

Let’s replace labels with compassion — and ask “How can I support you?” instead of assuming they’re fine.

Autistic burnout isn’t the same as general burnout — it’s deeper, longer-lasting, and often invisible. 🧠💔

Triggers like masking, sensory overload, and social expectations can leave autistic people feeling completely drained, even after rest.

Recovery isn’t just about taking time off — it’s about creating safe spaces, reducing masking, and having supportive understanding around you. 🌿

💡 Remember: exhaustion isn’t weakness. It’s your body and mind signalling it needs care.

Stress can be a major trigger for disordered eating. 🍽️💔

When life feels chaotic, food can become a way to cope, control, or escape.

Awareness, support, and self-compassion are key — your wellbeing comes first. 💙

Too often, we wait until burnout or breakdown before asking for help. 💔

Stress isn’t a badge of honour — it’s your body and mind telling you they need support. 🌿

The earlier you reach out, the easier it is to manage, recover, and prevent long-term impact.

💡 Tips to start early:

✨ Recognise warning signs — fatigue, irritability, or tension
✨ Talk to someone you trust before it escalates
✨ Prioritise rest and boundaries over constant productivity
✨ Remember: asking for help is strength, not weakness

📲 Save & Share to remind someone it’s okay to ask for help — before it’s too late. 💙

Work–life balance isn’t about perfect hours — it’s about protecting your wellbeing. 💼💙

Feeling constantly “busy” or guilty for taking breaks is a sign the system is working against you, not that you’re failing.

Small changes, like setting boundaries, taking micro-breaks, and prioritising your energy, make a huge difference. 🌿

Remember: your value isn’t measured by your output — it’s measured by your health, happiness, and peace of mind. 💫

📲 Save & Share to remind someone that rest is part of productivity.

Every assessment tells a story — but how that story is heard makes all the difference.

A trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach ensures people feel safe, understood, and respected during assessments. 🧠💙

It’s about asking “What happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?”

It’s about adapting communication, recognising sensory needs, and valuing every unique mind.

When professionals lead with empathy and understanding, we create assessments that don’t just diagnose — they empower. 🌿

Rejection Sensitivity (RSD) can make even small comments or criticism feel overwhelming.

It’s not “overreacting” — it’s a very real emotional response often linked with ADHD and past experiences of feeling misunderstood.

When you care deeply, rejection can cut deeply too. 💔

For many, this constant fear of disapproval shapes self-image, self-worth, and even relationships.

Learning to recognise RSD is the first step towards self-compassion — understanding that your worth isn’t defined by others’ opinions. 🌿

You are not “too sensitive.” You just feel deeply. 💙
