Eating Disorders and Mental Health - Day 9!
Hi everyone! How is your weekend so far?
For today's question - Do you ever feel that if you had a more supportive environment around you, it could have positively affected your mental well-being and helped you coping with eating disorders? If so, what events may have made you feel this way?
As always, if you need additional support please don't hesitate to connect 1-on-1 with a Listener. I'm also available as a Listener for teens 
Stay awesome!!
Oh, definitely. Had my relatives been more liberal and less judging, I wouldn't have been fighting with them so much.
On the other hand, my best friend/boyfriend has really helped me counter my ED thoughts and develop healthier ways to cope. We both come from similar backgrounds, and he's been more compassionate and perceptive than all of my relatives combined.

That's so amazing you've been able to find a stable support system to get you through the tough times 
That's definitely such an important, and often unfortunately overlooked, aspect of recovery!
