Eating Disorder Awareness Week
23rd Feb – 1st March | 2025

Any donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly to BEAT through my JustGiving link.

It’s about the years I spent feeling unseen, the misunderstandings that allowed my illness to thrive, and the long, unglamorous reality of recovery. This piece explores why awareness alone isn’t enough, and why lived experience, compassion, and action matter far more.
