Overcoming an Eating Disorder isn’t always a straightforward journey. There can be setbacks and times when it feels as though you’re not progressing, but there is hope and there is recovery.

Imogen shares her story of overcoming anorexia, and how that journey has shaped the person she is today.

If you’re a young person considering or receiving help from CAMHS — or someone supporting them — this is for you 💙

We asked former Eating Disorder patients what they would say, if they could send a message to someone struggling right now.

Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an
eating disorder - and this doesn't include the partners, friends and
family members affected too.
You are not alone.
Help is available.

We asked former Eating Disorder patients what they would say, if they could send a message to someone struggling right now.

Rachel asked us to say,

“I believe in you. There is hope and a future you belong in - because you deserve to know what happiness feels like. You will be happy again, even though it feels impossible, it is possible.”

“You don’t have to fight for your old life, you can create a new one.”

She also has a message for carers.

“it’s not always about fixing me, sometimes I just need you to sit in the dark with me, holding the hope, waiting with me until I am ready to save my own life.”

Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an
eating disorder - and this doesn't include the partners, friends and
family members affected too.

You are not alone.

“When I am working in really dark places, I carry with me the hope and compassion that I was shown by staff when I was under CAMHS.”

We’re closing out Children’s Mental Health Week with Tamara’s story, showing the lasting impact of early support.

Diagnosed with anorexia at 15, she received care that helped her recover and shaped her future. She studied psychology through A‑level and university, worked in mental health services while studying, and later completed a master’s in mental health sciences. Today, she supports adults in crisis as an assistant psychologist.

I was lost. No matter what was going on, they always made the place comfortable for me because at the time, I was stepping out of my comfort zone.”

After skipping school, clashing with teachers, and receiving a diagnosis of ADHD and autism, Oli got support from CAMHS.

Today, he’s playing football for a team he loves, studying sport science and coaching, and planning to take it to degree level.

With the right support, things can change. 💙

James was in a state of deep crisis. Today he’s building a career in the performing arts.

As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re sharing the first of four powerful stories from former CAMHS patients who wanted to “give back” by reflecting on their journey and the support they received.

Too often, people don’t get to see what life after CAMHS can look like.
James’ story is a reminder that with the right support, things really can get better.

If you’re a young person considering or receiving help from CAMHS — or someone supporting them — this is for you 💙
