I have done a quick write-up of my talk to #ICED2024 @aedweb for those who weren't there & for anyone who was! I found it harder than usual today and didn't say all I wanted as well as I wanted. This blog has more of it in and I SO hope it is helpful:

@RebeckaPeebles @EvanFurth I have experienced patients who ask for nasogastric feeds because they didn’t want to die, but eating was too distressing.

Please read when available. Listening to this talk was the most meaningful take I’ve heard on the so called “terminal” anorexia. #ICED2024

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

I will write up a tidier version of my speech at #ICED2024 and share it later :)

Primarily posting from @ABCT_EDEB account! Lots of eating disorder content there.

Let’s talk UPF from a ED lived experience perspective.
I’ve recently heard talk about how the vast majority of binge foods for people with an eating disorder are ultra processed foods, and that they may be to blame for the rise in eating disorder presentation. Cont.d 🧵

@BriannaABaker For mine, it’s an issue of reimbursement from insurance. With a master’s degree, I can be temporarily licensed as a supervised psychologist, and therefore insurance will cover my sessions in the state of West Virginia.

I have never met or spoken with anyone whose eating disorder let them stop because they were thin enough. It’s just not going to happen. Starting recovery means accepting you’ll never reach a constantly moving target, so choosing instead to let that target go.
