It's so difficult to observe pain and not be able to do anything about it. A helpless bystander. Standing by is not an option but are there any other options? This question haunts me. Sometimes, I feel that my attempts to help others are actually attempts to help myself.
I know it’s bad out there. But I don’t know if it is more or less bad than in here.
The online world is very terrifying. I hope it’s not as bad out there but I’m scared to find out.
By measuring biological, psychological and social data across ED services we will be better able to determine who is accessing treatment and develop more personalised treatment approaches for them. Read the new paper from @ED_CRN 👇mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/28/1/e…
"A sufferer who protests that there is no hope left may actually need the clinician to hold the hope for them, until they can carry it on their own... They may need clinicians to give them permission to live rather than permission to die." jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

💉Eating Disorders + Weight Loss Jabs: Harm waiting to happen💉 We're concerned about the comments made by the Health Secretary around weight loss jabs and the plans to widen access to them. Please sign our open letter to Wes Streeting today shorturl.at/8XKGl 🧵
When people who are famous/respected keep joking about weight-loss jabs, as if they are trendy as opposed to medications for people who have a physical illness, then one has to wonder whether they are ignorant (at best) or cruel. Cruel people don't respond to awareness-raising.
Some of the comments around weight loss jabs yesterday were harmful and triggering. We're looking into how we campaign for safer regulations to protect people with EDs. ‘It’s alarming’: How Ozempic is being misused and worsening eating disorders independent.co.uk/life-style/oze…
Why are men with eating disorders still dying?💔 This is the question at the heart of a new paper published with @cliveryton this week in the @JEatDisord We wanted to respectfully tell the story of one man’s case, what the system couldn’t see, and what must change 🧵1/

I can't understand why senior authorities in the government and health care continue to promote calorie-focused obesity ‘prevention’ policies when they know that these methods: [1] Do not work; [2] Promote disordered eating. It's highly irresponsible in my view.
