You don’t have to do this alone.
Managing Life with an Eating Disorder is a challenge… add in a Chronic Illness and there are sometimes no words to describe the frustrations you experience.
• Friends may not understand what you’re going through
• Doctors may dismiss your concerns or blame everything on the eating disorder
• You might get bounced around in the system, feeling unheard
• The loneliness of managing both can feel crushing
That’s why we created Resilient Voices…
This virtual support group brings together people who get it. It’s a safe space to talk, share, learn, and build strategies for living with chronic illness while pursuing eating disorder recovery.
Who is this group for?
Resilient Voices is designed for:
• Adults (18+) living with chronic illness
• Folks who are in eating disorder recovery and managing a chronic illness too
• Anyone wanting community, tools, and support to navigate both together
