Professional Help

Should I seek professional help?

It is very difficult to get better on your own if you have an eating disorder. As well as having support from those who care for you, you need to have professional help. Doctors can assess your physical condition and refer you to help available.  Eating disorders can make you very physically ill as well as affecting your thoughts and feelings about yourself.

Sometimes, people think they don't deserve help, that they should be able to manage on their own.  No-one should be alone with their eating disorder, seeking help from professionals is a great first step in beating an eating disorder.
