you know someone struggling from an eating disorder, one of the most important
things you can do is offer unconditional love and support.

someone with an eating disorder, make sure to; avoid comments regarding their
eating in any context, suggest ways you can practice wellness together, make sure
to be mindful of your own self talk around them, do your own research and
educate yourself on it, be open for conversation when they need it most, do not
be shy to seek professional help when necessary.
- The key is to be patient.
