Hope for Eating Disorder Recovery: One Call that Changed Everything

June 13, 2019

My dad didn’t know what to do to help me with my eating disorder.

So, he did what he’s really good at and passed along some numbers: (800) 931-2237 (He’s an engineer.) I still have that handwritten piece of paper. Thank you, Dad.

Calling those ten digits for help was a huge leap of faith. At that point in my life, no one knew I had an eating disorder except for my parents and the boyfriend who made me tell them (Now, I can say thanks to him, too.).

I am not telling anyone else.

The shame was palpable. I was so embarrassed. Back then, I didn’t know that eating disorders are real, life-threatening mental illnesses. I didn’t know that no one chooses to be sick, but people do choose to get better.

I chose healing that day. Little did I know then, I would have to choose it again and then again. Repeat.
