Every time I share some of our story, somebody will tell me how they have struggled but how they felt they could not be open about it for fear of peoples reactions.

To be honest I could never understand this kind of behaviour until something devastating happened in my life and then I did - first hand - understand...that there could be woes pain than the physical, that sometimes any alternative to drown out the deafening noise and excruciating ache of emotional pain was better than to have it drone on moment after agonising moment in your head. Some distraction, any distraction. How do you share the depth and impact of that? I don't know - but I send you Tanya and your lovely daughter big hugs and love xxxDonna Baeza, MCIPD, SPHRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317050300363954559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649049796246294129.post-80691050738595076972016-06-12T04:21:31.795-07:002016-06-12T04:21:31.795-07:00Powerful words, Tanya.

No-one can really understand the depths of the emotions we all go through trying to save our children from the tortures of their eating disorders, or whatever other mental health illnesses they have that often run alongside an eating disorder, or manifest on their own. But it is so important to try and create this awareness and to stop people from judging others based on looks alone. As the old saying goes, you can never judge a book by its cover.
