Thank you @beatED for giving me the opportunity to share my story as a man with Anorexia. It was an absolute honour to speak to #ChristopherEccleston about our experiences. The more we talk, the more people will understand and break these stigmas! #eatingdisorders #BBCLifeline

.@TomRebair: 'Nobody can see the pain and suffering which goes on inside your head when you have an eating disorder. Food should be enjoyable, it shouldn't be a fear. It shouldn't make you scared' We need change. GPs need training. ' #DumpTheScales

We shouldn't have to rely on family and friends to get the support we need. @TomRebair #DumpTheScales

'When you come forward with an ED, you need an immediate pathway to recovery, not 'here, we'll put you on a waiting list for two years'. Hope your family can support you in the meantime.🤷‍♀️' @TomRebair makes a good point, why do services rely on families to keep people alive?

I’m researching the eating disorder voice (EDV) experience- please share this advert if you can! I’d be so grateful. And if you’re over 18 and have experience of an EDV, follow this link to find out more: cardiffunipsych.eu.qualtrics…

There is an issue affecting the national 999 call system. BT is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible but, in the meantime, if you are unable to contact 999 in a medical emergency, please call 111 who will redirect your call.

The lack of understanding around Autism is huge. I've had a lot of experience with this. Putting more training into schools, would be a huge step forward to reduce this issue. Please sign
When @Hollyoaks put on 2 days autism training for all staff it made all the difference. More training than any teacher Ty had ever had. We need more training in schools. #SEND #Autism please sign Paula’s petition. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

This was happening 15 years ago when I was held down in a general paediatric ward and no staff member there knew anything about anorexia. How is this still being allowed to happen NOW??
Replying to @Rebeccasmt
Children with eating disorders – who often need to be restrained to be fed through tubes – are among those being routinely put on general wards. It means staff without any specialist training, including security guards, are sometimes left to restrain these young patients.

This is fantastic! 🙌 There are some things, I could complain about with Newcastle. But definitely not the research that goes on and very often not recognised
James Duncan our Chief Executive has been reflecting on the benefits of our collaboration with @NHIPartners has delivered for the people we treat and support, our staff, and the communities we serve. Read more on this at newcastlehealthinnovation.or…

Eating disorders aren't death sentences, they are treatable Mental illness! When are services going to take responsibility for this!
Heartbreaking that my inbox is full of these msgs It’s a complete injustice that this is happening to people of all ages w/ eating disorders We need to keep fighting for proper evidence based treatment so every single person can get the right support!

Don't let anyone tell you it's 'only anxiety' like a small cut to the leg. I'm telling you from personal experience, it's NOT! It's debilitating, life destroying and controlling. It's more like surgery to the leg. #ToHelpMyAnxiety
