Stress doesn't always look the way we expect it to.

Sometimes, it can appear in our relationship with food, our bodies or the routines we rely on to feel safe.

For someone experiencing an eating disorder, periods of stress may make existing thoughts and behaviours feel more difficult to navigate.

Understanding these connections matters. Recovery isn't just about what happens at mealtimes, but also the emotions, experiences and challenges surrounding them.

At Orri, we believe in care that sees and supports the whole person.

“What would help you?”

It’s a question that deserves time and attention in eating disorder care.

In this video, Katy Pey (she/her) reflects on the place of labels in recovery, and why understanding someone’s individual needs matters when planning their support.

A diagnosis can bring relief, help make sense of experiences and guide care. For some people, the language they use to describe themselves is also an important part of their identity.

Alongside that, we need to keep listening. Two people with the same diagnosis may find different things difficult and need different kinds of support. That might mean asking about sensory experiences, how someone prefers to communicate, or what would help them feel more comfortable in a session.

At Orri, we want to understand what this means for you, in your everyday life. Your experiences and preferences deserve a place in those conversations. 🧡

What happens when a meal arrives looking different from what you expected?

Perhaps the colour is different, foods are touching, or something you expected to be served separately has been mixed together. These details may seem small to someone else, but they can make a difference to how manageable a meal feels.

In this video, Katy Pey (She/Her), Psychotherapist and Specialist Pathways Lead at Orri, explores how to put that discomfort into words and ask for support.

That might sound like:

“This looks different from
what Iwas expecting.”

“I’m finding the way this is presented difficult.”

“Would it be possible to
serve these separately?”

Whether you’re with a friend, being supported in treatment or eating at a restaurant, explaining what feels difficult can help the people around you understand your experience.

You don’t have to find the perfect words to start that conversation.

Food presentation can be particularly significant for people with sensory sensitivities, including some neurodivergent people and people experiencing ARFID.

Everyone’s experience is different, so understanding what sits behind the discomfort matters.

There isn’t one response that will suit every person or every meal. Asking for an adjustment can be part of making eating more accessible; within treatment, it can also open a conversation about the support you need and how to approach change together.

If you’re supporting someone, listening with curiosity is a useful place to begin:

“What about this feels difficult,
and what might help?”

Sometimes, the hardest part of leaving the house is getting dressed.

An outfit feels different, something no longer fits comfortably, or you find yourself changing again and again. By the time you’re ready, you may already feel worn out.

If this feels familiar, you don’t have to brush it off as “just clothes”. How you feel in them matters, and it’s something you can talk about in recovery.

On a difficult morning, choosing something that feels a little easier to wear or letting someone know you’re struggling may help.

At Orri, we want to understand the everyday moments that feel difficult for you. If you’d like to talk about support, you can find us through the link in our bio.

Feeling seen in care can begin with the words someone uses to address you.

This International Pronouns Day, we’re reflecting on the everyday ways we can make space for people to be themselves: asking rather than assuming, listening to what someone shares, and respecting their privacy.

Within eating disorder care, there is a whole person to get to know. Their identity, experiences and relationships all deserve space.

Whether you feel comfortable sharing your pronouns, are still exploring what feels right, or would prefer to keep this private, you deserve respect throughout your care.

What happens when something that once felt within your control starts to feel like it’s controlling you?

Ellie Parkins (she/her), Eating Disorder Therapist at Orri, reflects on how our relationship with eating disorder behaviours can shift — and how frightening it can feel to recognise that something isn’t right.

You might notice that food rules feel harder to step away from, or that behaviours are taking up more space in your life. Finding the words to talk about this can feel daunting.

You don’t need to wait until things feel out of control to seek support. That feeling that something isn’t quite right is enough to start a conversation.

If this resonates with you, we’re here to listen. Find out about support at Orri through the link in our bio.

Does eating “well” feel increasingly difficult to get right?

Perhaps your food rules have grown over time. Following them brings reassurance, but a change of plan leaves you anxious. You might spend more time thinking about meals, or miss out on moments with others because eating feels complicated.

Food choices have personal, practical and cultural context. That deserves understanding, alongside the impact those choices and rules are having on your wellbeing.

If food is taking up more mental space, or stepping outside your rules brings guilt or fear, you deserve support with that experience.

You can speak to your GP, or contact our team to explore support at Orri through the link in our bio.

It takes courage to ask for help with an eating disorder. Being turned away can leave someone unsure where to turn next.

Following ITV News’ coverage of inconsistencies in eating disorder care, Orri supports calls for an urgent national strategy.

We believe that strategy must be shaped by people with lived experience, families and clinicians. It must support earlier access to treatment, continuity between services and care that responds to different needs. It must also support the dedicated teams working hard to provide that care.

Thank you to those sharing their experiences and campaigning for change. Speaking publicly about something so personal can be difficult, and those experiences deserve to inform what happens next.

If this report feels close to home, your struggles deserve to be heard and taken seriously. You deserve care, and you deserve hope.

Recovery for all must be something we work together to make possible. 🤍

“Who will I be without the eating disorder?”

That question can feel frightening. When an eating disorder has become closely connected to your sense of self, imagining life beyond it may bring uncertainty.

In this video, Sophie Killip (she/her) explores how therapy can make space for those fears, alongside the possibility of discovering more of who you are and what you want for your future.

You don’t have to feel excited about recovery before you begin. There is room for mixed feelings, questions and possibilities you can’t quite picture yet.

If this feels familiar, we’re here to listen. Find out about support at Orri through the link in our bio.

Sometimes, finding the words is difficult. So is wondering whether someone will understand them.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re making space for the experiences that can be hard to explain: the thoughts that take up more room than anyone realises, the effort behind everyday routines, and the feelings you’re still trying to understand.

You deserve to be listened to, including when your experience doesn’t fit someone else’s expectations of what struggling looks like.

If food, eating or body image is becoming difficult, you can reach out without having everything worked out first. Our team is here to listen and explore possible next steps with you.
