Wasting Away: The Truth About Anorexia

LittleLotte August 31st, 2017

This programme was shown on UK television recently, and you can watch it online here:

For those of us with an eating disorder, it doesn't give much hope (due to NHS treatment cuts) but it is helpful to hear how other family members might be feeling while you're suffering.

@LittleLotte - Thanks for sharing! Are there potential triggers in this programme that should be avoided if people are feeling at risk of relapse?

@Anomalia Yes, I would say there are definitely some triggering moments as they talk about suicide and people's lowest moments during their illness. Also, hearing how upset and desperate the family members are is difficult but I think it's something people in the grip of an ED need to hear because, in my own experience, the ED often talks over what other people might be feeling.
