A harrowing reminder of what life in an eating disorder unit is like
Staff at a specialist eating disorder unit have been photographed sleeping when they should have been looking after severely ill patients who were at risk of harming themselves. I have been told about multiple "unsafe" incidents at Schoen Clinic York. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I am hearing More and more people being diagnosed with this as a way to move them on from the eating disorder team.
"What is Restrictive Intake Self Harm?" Pseudo-scientific, pop psychology bullshit made up on the back of a fag packet, that's what it is. When will psychiatry (and the field of eating disorders) stop playing acronym games with diagnostic categories? It is deeply unsound.
Treatment without compassion is not care.

Many of you told us in our social media survey that you find certain accounts masquerading as 'pro-recovery' accounts on Instagram and TikTok to in fact be triggering and harmful. What helps you decide if an ED recovery is helpful or harmful? ⬇️Let us know in the comments⬇️
"It is such a competitive illness, regardless of what people are posting, even if it is positive, sufferers are going to compare themselves" Do you find ED recovery influencers helpful or harmful? Does it depend on the channel? vogue.co.uk/article/skinny…
