Melanie Field Instagram – For so long, sharing my struggle with eating disorders was out of the question. I feared that exposing my vulnerabilities made me weak. I didn’t believe my story had value, that no one would care or want to hear it. And what’s more, I didn’t know how to tell it. Sharing my truth felt, well… dangerous.

But the truth is, keeping my story hidden is far more dangerous. Hiding threatens my mental health and prevents me from taking ownership of my life. Hiding endangers people who struggle with the same issues and feel unseen and unheard. Hiding allows harmful systems to thrive, systems that have driven countless individuals to engage in self harm and endanger their lives.

On this World Eating Disorders Action Day, I hope that you feel empowered to share your story, to tell your truth, to ASK FOR HELP. I wouldn’t have had the strength if other people before me hadn’t done it. @ddlovato @i_weigh @jameelajamilofficial @tessholliday @remibader @allianceforeda @edcoalition #Equity4EatingDisorders #eatingdisorderawareness #mentalhealthsupport
