Supporting someone with an eating disorder? You don’t have to do it alone.

Jess shares what her role involves and how we help families, friends, and loved ones navigate the challenges of supporting someone through recovery.

Caring for someone with an eating disorder can be isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming. Our carer support services are here to provide guidance, reassurance, and a listening ear when you need it most.

Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, emotional support, or just someone who understands what you’re going through - we’re here for you.

Eating disorders aren’t always obvious and don’t look the same in every person, here’s a few things to look out for 👇🏻

1️⃣ Increased structure around food - you may notice someone become more set in their eating patterns, sticking to the same foods or avoiding spontaneity like meals out of changing meal times.

2️⃣ Avoiding shared meals - if someone is always eating alone or skipping meals with friends, this could be a sign they’re struggling.

3️⃣ Their self worth is tied to their body - if you notice that someone only talks about themselves positively or negatively when it comes to their body.

If you notice any of these signs, start with a small conversation. Sometimes, people just want to know they’re not alone

Eating disorders don't have a look.

There's a common picture people have in their heads - a young, white, woman. But this picture isn't always true, and it stops a lot of people from getting help.

Eating disorders affect men and women. Teenagers and people in their sixties. People in larger bodies and smaller ones. People from every background, culture, and walk of life. They don't discriminate, and they're not a phase, a lifestyle choice, or something you can just snap out of.

If you've ever dismissed your own struggles because you didn't think you "looked ill enough" - you're not alone. And you still deserve support.

Some early signs that something might not be right:
— Thinking about food, calories, or your body far more than feels normal
— Feeling out of control around eating, or using food to manage difficult emotions
— Avoiding meals, social situations involving food, or certain food groups entirely
— Exercising even when you're exhausted, injured, or unwell
— Feeling guilt or shame after eating
— Hiding eating habits from the people around you

You don't need to already have a diagnosis. You don't need to have reached a crisis point. You just need to know that something feels difficult, and that's enough reason to reach out.

EDS Plymouth offers specialist support for adults aged 18+ across Plymouth and West Devon. You can self-refer by filling out the simple form on our website.
