Thank you @beatED for giving me the opportunity to share my story as a man with Anorexia. It was an absolute honour to speak to #ChristopherEccleston about our experiences. The more we talk, the more people will understand and break these stigmas! #eatingdisorders #BBCLifeline

@OonaHanson @OpenMindMH That's shocking! If the young person can be supported and receive treatment at home is far better than having to move miles away.

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

@AEMentalhealth @OpenMindMH Thank you!

'Nobody can see the pain and suffering which goes on inside your head when you have an eating disorder.

Food should be enjoyable, it shouldn't be a fear. It shouldn't make you scared'

We need change. GPs need training. ' #DumpTheScales

"There's no such thing as a stereotypical person who has an eating disorder"

[Dump the Scales @DumpTheScales]

We shouldn't have to rely on family and friends to get the support we need. @TomRebair #DumpTheScales

@OpenMindMH Thank you, so much for coming today!

[Rachel @OpenMindMH]

'When you come forward with an ED, you need an immediate pathway to recovery, not 'here, we'll put you on a waiting list for two years'. Hope your family can support you in the meantime.🤷‍♀️'

@TomRebair makes a good point, why do services rely on families to keep people alive?

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

I've decided I'm going to post more often. Whether that only lasts a month, let's see 😅

[Kirsty Matthews @KirstyJM_Psych]

@Kel_MHB @ed_recovered @AdrienneRennie @bed_blog @HopeVirgo @AbiJaneReynolds @RebelBarefoot @TomRebair I would be so grateful if you would be kind enough to retweet my research ad on trauma and ED, please! I want to reach as many voices as possible, and could use your help! 😊

There is an issue affecting the national 999 call system.

BT is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible but, in the meantime, if you are unable to contact 999 in a medical emergency, please call 111 who will redirect your call.

The lack of understanding around Autism is huge. I've had a lot of experience with this. Putting more training into schools, would be a huge step forward to reduce this issue. Please sign

[Dr Carrie Grant MBE (hc) 💙 @CarrieGrant1]

When @Hollyoaks put on 2 days autism training for all staff it made all the difference. More training than any teacher Ty had ever had. We need more training in schools. #SEND #Autism please sign Paula’s petition. https://t.co/Lh2j7zEZ3c

[Rachel @OpenMindMH]

This was happening 15 years ago when I was held down in a general paediatric ward and no staff member there knew anything about anorexia.

How is this still being allowed to happen NOW??

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

This is fantastic! 🙌 There are some things, I could complain about with Newcastle. But definitely not the research that goes on and very often not recognised

[Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS FT @CNTWNHS]

James Duncan our Chief Executive has been reflecting on the benefits of our collaboration with @NHIPartners has delivered for the people we treat and support, our staff, and the communities we serve.

@emily4993 Thank you, It's not a nice place to be, you take care of yourself

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

Eating disorders aren't death sentences, they are treatable Mental illness! When are services going to take responsibility for this!

[Hope Virgo @HopeVirgo]

Heartbreaking that my inbox is full of these msgs

It’s a complete injustice that this is happening to people of all ages w/ eating disorders

We need to keep fighting for proper evidence based treatment so every single person can get the right support!

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

@chtaylor__ @jamesldowns 🤯😡 That's actually crackers!

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

@emily4993 I couldn't agree anymore! 👏 Also the fact that it's such a 'postcode lottery'. As I've always had fantastic service and I'm very grateful but at same time more upset and frustrated at lack of support in other areas
