Thank you to everyone who came down to our booth at UTown yesterday to support us in raising awareness about eating disorders!

A big shout-out to BakeforMind and Foreword Coffee for partnering with us in this event and showcasing their awesome barista skills and bakes ☕🍪

We would also like to express our gratitude to Kelly, the research coordinator of SGH Eating Disorders Programme who kindly took time to come down and help shed light on eating disorders and the treatment programmes available at SGH. Most importantly, this would not have been possible without the kind support from SGH Department of Psychiatry, who kindly provided us with the brochures on eating disorders.

We hope that apart from redeeming the free bubble tea, those of you who came down to our booth yesterday had a chance to learn more about eating disorders and their impact on individuals and communities. If you or someone you know think you might be at risk of suffering from an eating disorder, please do not hesitate to reach out for help. You can contact the SGH eating disorders unit at [email protected], or seek help from a polyclinic or a GP.

In addition, we are currently looking for like-minded individuals who are passionate about our cause to join our team and be a part of organising similar events in the future! If you are interested to make a difference to eating disorder patients and advocacy work, please feel free to contact us via Facebook, Instagram or email at [email protected].

Once again, thank you for your support and have a good day! 🤗

Beautiful

Imagine waking up recovered. Imagine waking up, and opening your eyes. You instantly don’t feel like you’d rather die. Your body doesn’t ache instantly...

"The world can be so full of love if we just invite it in by sharing our own vulnerability.
..to share the weight of the pain until it no longer has the power to consume our lives."

As we walked into class, my friend looked up from her phone and delicately said, “It’s up.” I knew exactly what that meant. I ran to the back of a packed law school classroom and glued myself into a chair, gripping the sides of the seat in horror. All of Humans of New York’s 18 million followers wer...

"Healing is a process and it takes time. It takes trusting professionals and being patient. It takes protecting yourself long after you believe you “should” be all better."

Once again the doctor told me, “It is healing well, but not healed.” I couldn't help but think of my eating disorder recovery... healing, but not healed.

"Educators are often so much more than teachers: they are role models, confidants and support systems. If a student is struggling, it is our hope that educators will see that and help them."

NEDA asks members of their community to share things they wish educators knew about eating disorders.
