I met with a client last month, and something she said has stayed with me since. She’d been turned away from an eating disorder service four years ago because her BMI put her in the healthy weight range. It made her feel like she was making it all up, like she didn’t really need help. She just wasn’t sick enough. So she spent the next four years struggling on her own, getting sicker and more stuck in her eating disorder habits. She’s in treatment now. She shouldn’t have had to wait, and this isn’t a one-off story. It’s something I hear on repeat, day after day.
