Let’s get this clear at the start. I am not an expert on mental health. I am though an expert on my experience of mental illness. Your experience might be very different from mine. There are, to quote Matt Haig, 7 billion versions of normal and we are all different, unique and special.

Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) affect over 725,000 people in the UK. Eating disorders affect both men and women particularly in the age range of 12-20, but anyone can get an eating disorder at any time of their life.
