The first step towards #eatingdisorder recovery can be the hardest one to take.

It's okay to find things difficult, or to not know what to do. If you're trying to take that step, talk to loved ones or your GP and know that help is out there.

Finding comfort in relating to the experiences of others can be a powerful tool for those managing #eatingdisorders.

We're very pleased to see Grace's book on her management of anorexia bringing others comfort in not being alone.

We applaud Megan for using her platform to raise awareness and inspiration around #eatingdisorders and the difficulties the Christmas period can bring.

A new year is often celebrated with new goals to reach and achievements to attain, things that can put added pressure on those recovering from #eatingdisorders.

It's important to remember that everyone's recovery is different and that your own pace is the only one that matters.

Happy New Year from the Bramacare team!

The New Year offers a fresh start but for those with #eatingdisorders it can bring extra self-pressure on their recovery.

Instead of focusing on goals and resolutions, we want to know what you're grateful for from the last 12 months!

If you think a loved one could have an #eatingdisorder, it's important to find the right moment to start the conversation.

Make sure you're both comfortable, safe, in privacy and preferably not at a mealtime. Allow time for an open discussion and be aware of your reaction.
