Hi there!

My name’s Finley, I’m 20 years old, and I’ve had an OSFED (Other Specified Eating or Feeding Disorder) for six years. For the first time, I’ve chosen to voluntarily begin recovery and this is my blog that I’m using to document my journey and motivate me to get better. I’m sharing my journey publicly in the hopes that someone else won’t feel as lost and as alone in their disorder as I did, and perhaps to inspire someone else to reach out for help, no matter how “serious” their disorder is or how long they’ve been suffering from it.

Everything on this blog is written with as much sincerity and honesty as I can provide. If anyone taking a look at my blog would like to speak to me or ask questions or request advice, I’m completely happy to respond to them (you can comment on a specific post or visit this page to talk to me directly or anonymously!)

The history of my eating disorder can be found in this post, although I am giving updates on my recovery weekly. Between these posts, I write more in-depth about various parts of eating disorders, such as binge-eating and the ‘pro-ana’ side of the internet, as well as explaining different eating disorders and parts of recovery. I am being supported through my recovery by some of my friends, and one day may ask for their input and experiences on being friends and flatmates with someone with an eating disorder.

In the meanwhile, I hope whoever is reading this is okay. If not, please speak to me, a friend or family member, or a doctor or other medical professional. It may seem like it now, but everything will one day be okay.
