Eating disorders do not have an age limit or a single way of showing up.
They can begin in childhood, emerge in adulthood, or return later in life. Many people experience symptoms in their twenties, thirties, forties and beyond, yet still feel unseen or unsure whether their struggles are valid.
There is no typical way to look like you are struggling. Parents, carers, professionals and older adults are all affected. Stereotypes can create silence, and silence can stop people from getting the support they deserve.
Whether this has been part of your life for a long time, is just beginning, or is something you have never said out loud, your experience matters. Recovery is possible, and it is never too early or too late to reach out for support.
