Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are not choices or phases they are complex mental health conditions that often develop alongside anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, or chronic stress. They impact how you think about food, weight, your body, and your sense of control.

Common signs include:

  • Obsessive thoughts about food, weight, or body image

  • Restricting food or avoiding entire food groups

  • Binge eating or emotional eating

  • Purging, overexercise, or compensatory behaviors

  • Intense guilt or shame around eating

  • Fear of weight gain

  • Rigid rules or rituals around meals

You are not alone, and recovery is possible with the right support.
