beat ambassadors on BBC Breakfast

Great video. A survey of relations between bullying and EDs was much needed. Too often, EDs are explained by dissatisfaction with one's physical appearance - because people with EDs manipulate/control their diet, and may also purge and/or over-exercise. However, these behaviours all serve to control emotions and make the person feel more in control of their life - even though this control is illusory.

Bullying was a big trigger for my anorexia nervosa.

Beat is such an important organisation, and I'm so glad it exists
