People with anorexia or other eating disorders have something more profound than the same eating disorder... Something emotional... They feel like they have no control in their lifes... #EDforumevent

@colourfulSpring22

spring, i could imagine lots of people simply do not know how dangerous it is. i really hope that people in general become more aware of all disorders and illnesses to get a better understanding so that there will be more support available.
