When you know you have developed unhealthy eating patterns and feel compulsively driven to use food to help you deal with emotions it can feel lonely, isolating, depressing and time-consuming.
Individuals with eating disorders generally experience low self-esteem, shame, denial and secrecy and this often leads to depression, obsessive compulsive tendencies and occasionally psychotic symptoms and delusions.
Talking to someone who can help you understand why these difficulties have developed and how you can overcome them by developing new strategies for coping is the key to recovery. Support is available in groups or in one to one sessions depending on which option we agree together is best for you.
