Road to Recovery

You can recover from an eating disorder but YOU need to want to.

 

It can be a hard struggle.  Sometimes it can feel like two steps forward and one step back.  Here are some ways to make it easier:

  • If you are a student in Sheffield there are specialist eating disorders nurses who can help you at the University Health Centre and the Porter Brook General Practice.  You can also contact Biteback http://www.bite-back.org.uk for information on a specific group for students.

  • Not all GP's are experienced with eating disorders, however it's important to get help from a GP. You can ask the Practice Manager at your Medical Centre, if any of the doctors has a special interest in eating disorders.  You can also talk to the Practice Nurse.
