Best Of

Hey Amy, thanks so much for reaching out on here. I know if you feel ashamed, it must feel quite difficult to talk about but this is always going to be a judgement free zone and it’s really great that you have reached out!

To start, I will say that as long as kinks aren’t harmful, then there isn’t anything wrong with them. Human sexuality is very much a spectrum and there is nothing wrong or creepy about that

However, it sounds like it might feel quite distressing for you? If you feel like you can it could be a good idea to reach out to a professional therapist to work through some of these feelings?

It would be wonderful to hear from you again though so please do reach out if you need us!

I have a question if okay, so with my family we have sit down meal which adds to me struggling with eating thinking im being watched so how do you like deal with that

Really good question River. It can definitely add to any anxiety you might be feeling when you feel like your being watched at meal times.

If you have any family members who are aware that you struggle with eating, it might be helpful to try and talk to them beforehand and sit next to them during the meal. Sometimes eating disorders can make you feel like everyone is watching you but most the time people with be focusing on their own meal or the conversation.

It might be a good idea to think about any distractions you can put in place during the meal, whether that's listening to music, playing a game or just having something prepared that you can chat about to keep the focus off food. If you can also limit the time you have to spend at the table that might help with your anxieties too, so see if your family can move somewhere else once you've finished eating
