'I'm not feeling so good and I'd like to talk to you about it' EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS WEEK 2026 It's Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026 #edaw26 this week and it's a time to not only reflect on the experiences of people with eating disorders and how treatment and support has changed over the past 24 years I have been involved with eating disorders: but it's also a time to raise awareness in our communities, have conversations with each other and reach out to those who are facing a difficult time with their relationship with food, eating, and their bodies.

You feel like you should be able to “just get over it.” But anxiety isn’t weakness. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you, even when there’s no real threat. It’s your mind doing overtime, trying to control the uncontrollable. Now, imagine this… You sit in a room with someone who doesn’t rush you, doesn’t judge you, and doesn’t try to fix you. They listen. They help you untangle the knots in your thoughts. They teach you how to breathe again—not just with your lungs, but with
