Trigger warning ⚠ I've not been well today with a sickness bug, but I wanted to share this for eating disorders awareness week. Forgive short caption, but in all honesty, one isn't needed. Eating Disorders don't just try and destroy the person directly affected, it tries to destroy the loved ones and families too. And this is why @seedsupportuk was set up by my amazing mum and dad 24yrs ago. Th...

Trigger warning ⚠ Many of you may know of the story from last year where I was reunited with the amazing Joyce, the woman who, unbeknownst to her, once saved my life through a single act of kindness. After I bumped into her again after 28yrs, my therapist encouraged me to write a letter to my 10/11yr old self, which was when the moment happened. It was an exercise to help me let go of the pain ...

A little Christmas message. Some tips on coping with Christmas and eating disorders
Gemma I think sharing this will help so many people understand that it's not just a desire to be thin and look good. I've been in recovery for 20 years and still have my moments with anorexia. You are such an inspiration to so many. Don't forget to take care of yourself too ❤️
Beautiful voice❤❤ the little mermaid Ariel is My favorite Disney princess
Gemma ❤❤❤❤❤wes
Hi gemma. I hope your well. Thank you so much for your videos in currently going through recovery and experiencing edema its so uncomfortable and also sore. Im just giving myself time to rest and heal. It feels like it will last forever but with your videos i feel much better that it will fade. X

Hello friends, U need a professional RUclips thumbnail designer? Let me know please Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤Gemma❤❤❤❤❤Wes
All eating disorders are deep seated psychological issues (there's a reason there are MANY co-morbidities) and that it's an obsession with low weight and appearance is a unhelpful stereotype/trope. Most people with eating disorders are in fact overwight. Binge eating disorder is FAR more common then anorexia and most bulimics are a normal weight or slightly overweight (its a largwly invisible illness)
I’ve had ARFID basically since birth. Tried everything from hypnosis, to CBT. Recovery is difficult itself let alone when no GPs know what the diagnosis is, nor therapists know how to treat and help you. I’m so glad this is getting more awareness, makes me feel so seen. Thank you to those who are helping to make a difference and speaking out on their own experiences ❤
Very brave & emotive and so well spoken, this will help so many others much love x
suffered from ARFID since I've been 7 years old (now 45). Great to get more awareness in public domain. ARFID as an eating disorder has no support by our local NHS and Primary Care Trust. I had to seek private help in the end. Been through the full experience of arfid ruining personal life, socialising, work and career opportunities.
Stay cheerful Gemma 😂
The forever looking vibrant beautiful Gemma oaten 😂
The lovely Gemma very good actress 😂

Really powerful and honest update.
Gemma hope you don't mind me saying this, but you are one very attractive lady who has the most gorgeous smile and eyes. Gemma you are so lovely. Love Wes ❤️❤️❤️
Why doesn’t seed help those who don’t have Anorexia? I got told I wasn’t ‘sick’ enough by seed even though I have BED and going through Bulimia 😮 Luckily I’m with Evolve now (I seeked out Seed first as I didn’t want go to my gp but had no choice) ..I am glad you’re doing better 🤍
attempts
I’ve had bulimia for 27 years. I waited for treatment for year and a half on NHS. I got my treatment in Jan this year. Treatment only consists of 8 sessions, 30 min each. For bulimia it is outpatient only. So many of us are dying but society seems to abandon us and I was told that there is only Self Help programme for bulimics which you do through the book. I am losing faith and hope that I will ever get well.
I am so sorry to hear this! Can we support you? We have lost of support around bulimia, having struggled with it myself I hear you! Email support@seed.charity if you feel able. You matter xxx
@@Gemma10O thank you so much for your response. I will contact you. Thanks again x 💖

HII 👋🏻 Thanks for this video, I agree with you 100% I currently have BED and Bulimia and my weight varies from being underweight to overweight and the comments I get at all stages of my ED is shocking!
