Hey everyone!! How have you been? heart

For today's question, we'll bring up an important topic - support systems. What kind of support system do you have to cope with eating disorders and related mental health problems? Anything you would like to change about this support system?

As always, thank you so much for participating!! If you ever need 1-on-1 support you can PM me if you're a Teen, or any other Listener from Browse Listeners.

I would say I have pretty good support system. I am someone that cares about others more than I do for myself (I know I know, it's not good cheeky) so I made a deal with my best friend, that if I skip a meal, he would do the same. It's like we are marking the times we skipped meals and sharing them to each other every week and for example if I skipped meal for 5 times more than he did this week, he will be allowed to skip 5 meals another week. I believe it's pretty good way for me to stay on track and not skip meals, because I don't want him to skip them wink What problem do I see here? It's that I need to track everything for myself and if I feel bad, I tend to like... skip and not mark it. I try to be as honest as I can but it's hard at times....

@RaCat

oh, not being honest at times is completely understandable! it sounds like you've got a pretty cool system going on, though. hopefully it's been helping? thank you for sharing and for participating in the event!
