Re: Alone

Hi @emma17

I am so glad you reached out and shared this with us all. I want you to know right away that you are not alone here. Many of us understand how heavy the struggle with body image and eating can feel, but you have taken a brave first step by speaking up. Please take a look around the community - there are a lot of kind people here who truly get it. We're here to listen whenever you're ready to share more. There is no pressure at all.

If you haven't done so already, I highly recommend having a look at butterfly.org.au for extra support and resources for eating disorders and struggles with body image.
