1)We need more Eating Disorder Services.
I have been passed around from primary care mental health team, to my gp, to a private clinical psychologist who specialises in eating disorders to a private dietician to be told to go back to my community mental health team.

There were days where I loved playing and then there were others where I could barely get out of bed to go training. My mental illness stopped me from enjoying my sport and stepping away from Dublin nearly killed me. But I knew it was the right choice.
I had to put my mind first

I have just shared a quick instagram video on battling with bulimia Nervosa.

My nerves are gone.

Really hope it will encourage one person to reach out for help.

Folks, I’m really struggling at the moment.

And I suppose that’s ok.

Keep me in your thoughts x

[Megg Ní Raghallaigh @iammeggan]

We all feel a little lost sometimes. I remember when I was in hospital after taking an over dose, I genuinely felt like I was so lost, lost everyone and everything. I didn’t think I could find my way back. But I did. The trick is to fight so hard every day. And never give up #mh

Today I got a message from a stranger on social media telling me “I’m a sad little girl.”

So here’s my reply.

So proud to call @CormacRyan01 my good friend. Such an inspiration to so me and so many others.
Recovery is possible. 🥰

My mind has been playing tricks on me lately.
It’s so cruel. It tells you your not sick enough, or that you don’t deserve food. It forces you to restrict and or binge to the extent where your on your hands and knees vomiting. I wish I had a Magic wand. Feeling very weak lately.

[Megg Ní Raghallaigh @iammeggan]

This is what happens when you are open on social media.

You get uneducated people making horrible comments like this one. This is why people are afraid to seek help. Because they believe the words of people like this.

Here’s a reminder that anyone can get an eating disorder.

Let that voice be heard @Recovery_Ire @HSELive

So grateful for all the professionals out there working hard to keep me alive.

Today I’m 5 months free of self harm.

In March I asked for help and was hospitalised. It kept me alive.

5 months later here I am living a better life.

Moral of this post- never be afraid to reach out for help. It could save your life.
