Thanks @Daisydreamer Smiley Happy

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah and I am joining you from Boon Wurrung land in Melbourne this evening.  A little bit about me – I am a Peer Ambassador with SANE and have been for 3 years (gosh – time flies!) Part of my own lived experience with mental ill health includes eating disorders and body image concerns so tonight’s Topic Tuesday is one that I am very passionate about. I am really looking forward to our discussion and I hope that throughout we can debunk some myths about eating disorders, chat about ways we can promote positive body image and discuss options if you are ready to reach out for support.

Question 1 for both @SarahBee and the forums community:
What has been your journey with eating disorders and seeking help?

My journey has been thst I'm just recently told myy the psych  she is aware of my bingeing. I feel too ashamed and embarrassed to let others know. Doing this really makes me hate myself snd my body.
