Articulating Anorexia/Bulimia; Families & sufferers. MUST WATCH

An attempt to raise awareness through my own experience with disordered eating about the inherent difficulties that impact upon the sufferer and family/friends of somebody with an eating disorder.

I admire your openness so much, I really wish I was as brave as you are. You are truly an inspiration to me, and I hope one day I will be open about my eating dissorder too.

@SnowingAngels aww wow, thats such a lovely comment, made me smile sooo much. I believe you can be open about it, remember its nothin to be ashamed about and the only way to change any stigma and increase peoples understanding is to speak out. sending love to you xx

I missed this video too - I'll have to keep checking your channel! Great video. It is a difficult thing for everyone - my family doesn't know what to say and in the past I would snap at them if they said anything but over the years I have let them in a little bit as people outside the family (teachers, doctors, counsellors) have spoke to them which helped me as once I saw their reactions it made me feel a bit better about opening up a bit! Hope you had a good trip!

Yes, you're so right. To be quite honest, it upsets me to think people view me as selfish because of my eating disorder, or that I'm doing it to get attention. Thanks for your honesty. I wish the people in my life would watch your video because maybe they'd understand us better. much love
