Hi, I'm Sarah
I have Autism level 3, ARFID, and I am in recovery from Anorexia Nervosa. I also have other challenging diagnoses.
I struggle to seek help because Anorexia, Autism and ARFID contradict one another within the health system. It’s familiar but not common enough that there are enough clinics, funding and support for those who have both.
I wish to make this site a place where people can come and not feel alone in their Mental Health struggles the way I felt alone in mine.
Stories worth catching up on:
Not every day is a good day, but that is ok, ”it’s ok, not to be ok”. Learn how you can get back up again and again.
It will be worth it, even if you are unable to see why just yet.
Recovery doesn’t always feel good but it’s worth it in the end
Quality over quantity, and that goes for weight restoration as well. The quality of life I will have over the amount I weigh is so much more important to me. If you cannot find those words inside your mind today to tell yourself that you're beautiful and deserving, I am telling you now that you are.
Proving our eating disorder mind wrong
Recovery is not easy, and it is something that we take on as a full-time job, entirely dedicated to ourselves by working days and night by learning new and healthy habits.
Exposing cracks in care when living with autism and anorexia nervosa
5:53am. I watch the morning sun become brighter through the cracks in my window, just as I watch the sun fade into darkness at night. Nights are lonely. My anxiety rises as the sun drops lower.
