The theme for NEDA week is “everybody knows somebody”. And, as I said before, we all know someone. It’s important that we each know the warning signs and learn how to communicate with those around us who might be struggling.

    Thank you for the post, very important to raise awareness. As someone who had an ED in my teens this is so important to share with others.
