I graduated a year ago and really let myself languish because I couldn’t get a job. I’m starting a part time at a university which just so happens to line up with a referral to an eating disorder center. It is very likely I suffer from ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder). I just don’t know what recovery looks like or how I come back from this. I will go to the eating center and do therapy but I have to have it work into my new work schedule. Idk if anyone else here has what I have. It seems more rare or less known. It wasn’t even an option as a diagnosis to put on healthunlocked. What has treatment looked like for other people? How has it made things better? I don’t think my case is very severe but I am curious about it

This is new to me too. How did you notice it enough to get a diagnosis? Your health is affected?
I have binge eating disorder which is largely triggered from my anxiety and depression. If I can manage those the eating is usually fine. I would imagine there are some underlying issues, I think there always are with eating disorders, and hopefully finding them you can get to a healthy relationship with food in general and good health for your body. I am glad you have resources!
