Hi guys,
Nice to meet you my name is MJ I'm a 20 year old female from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland in Australia and wondering if anyone has any lived experience or support with the above issues.
Thank you so much, appreciate any help you may have 🙂

There are certainly many who have lived experience of OCD and EDs. @MJHamblin
As people share, I hope it will be an encouraging thread and you will feel supported. Also, just a quick reminder that we ask that members do no post about disordered eating behaviours, but rather, strategies to cope with the emotions that come with it.
Great to have you with us @MJHamblin !

Hi @MJHamblin
welcome
I have atypical anorexia. Been fighting that monster for a few years now. I developed it rather late in life. I’m 40 now.

Hello @MJHamblin and welcome to the forum. We have several friendly folk here with lived experience who are willing to share with others.
I don’t have a diagnosed eating disorder but I do have OCD and depression.
Here for you ❤️
