Share Your Story

Personal stories about recovering from an eating disorder can be extremely compelling and inspiring.

Sharing these stories challenges the stigma associated with the illness and helps promote a better understanding about what might work to support recovery. When safely shared, these personal stories can motivate and empower others to start their own journey towards recovery.

​

Sharing your story is a personal decision and choice. When determining whether you may be ready to share your story publicly, take the time to reflect on your emotional, physical and psychological well-being and where you may be in your own recovery process.

​

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses affecting all kinds of people, regardless of gender, age, size, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or background. When sharing one’s personal story in a public setting, it is crucial that you feel you are sharing your story in a safe space, where you are being treated with the utmost sensitivity and respect.
