Starting or returning to college while in eating disorder recovery comes with a unique set of challenges that often go unspoken.
Living away from home for the first time, dining halls with unlimited food options, roommates, late-night studying, and the pressure to “have it all together” can all complicate recovery in ways that are easy to underestimate.
It’s okay to structure your day around your recovery such as setting meal times, identifying safe foods on campus, connecting with campus counseling or disability services, and telling at least one person you trust what you’re going through.
Recovery isn’t linear, and neither is college. Some days will be harder than others, and that doesn’t mean you’re failing. Building a support system can make all the difference.

In June, EDRC volunteer Sahana Nayak attended the International Conference on Eating Disorders (ICED) in The Hague, Netherlands. She presented research on behalf of the Nagata Lab at UCSF on social media and eating disorders in adolescent populations.

"ICED was a truly career-defining opportunity for me," says Sahana. "I met pioneers in the field and learned about clinical, cultural, and technological advances that are reshaping the way we treat and research eating disorders. I am so grateful to EDRC for sponsoring my attendance."
