Recently I've re-discovered my love for writing and the type of communication with people this form of sharing brings. It instantly reminded me of a period of time where i would blog often, so here i am! I feel like i put across what I'm wanting to say more effectively when i write.
Something I've been wanting to share more about is my lived experience with disordered eating. Therefore my intention for this blog space is to focus in on this particular topic alone.
While i feel like eating disorders are most definitely experienced by a lot of people, it just as much seems like a particular portion of these people feel more unseen, different and unsupported. This especially seems to apply when their eating disorder comes under a much less well known eating disorder. I happen to be one of these people.
I'm by no means saying that anyone's battle with an eating disorder is any more or any less harder than the next person's, i just hope you know that!
I'm just trying to convey that if you also fall under a less well known category of eating disorder/s that this space will hopefully help you realise that you in-fact are not alone in this and the type of journey this may in turn come along with -> in terms of struggling to get an accurate diagnosis and struggling to gain accessibility to eating disorder treatment services.
I feel like i should point out here that it currently looks like i myself may come under as having ARFID -> Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. However, i still need to be officially assessed before i can confirm this to myself as well as you all!
I would say this about sums up what i wanted to share for the moment. That being said i will say that i'm currently in the depths of a tougher part of my journey again, so I'm not even sure of what to share next or when I'll be up to doing so!
Therefore if you have any questions for me now, feel free to ask me them in the comments section on this post and I'll get back to you. Also if you have any requests for future posts, please leave them in the comments also. It'll help me gain ideas too as there is a LOT to living with an eating disorder, so it can be tricky to try and narrow in on a particular aspect of it to talk about! Our experiences can vary so much too of course!
With that I'll say goodbye for now. Look after yourselves, until we meet again!
