After a short period of falling into undereating and body image issues over this past year, my weight dropped dramatically. This culminated in me fainting in public; I was overwhelmed by the support of others but mortified that I had wasted their time and become a burden to them and my dp pleaded with me to work on my issues. From then I have gained a significant amount of weight and I am finding it so hard to adjust to my body. Has anyone else experienced this and how would you suggest I manage my feelings?

Flowers Im sorry you are struggling to adjust to your new body.
Article below shows you are not alone.
BEAT have a website and there is a support services tab. There are chat forums on there so I’m sure others in similar situations could advise. Have you spoken to the GP? They could refer for counselling although I imagine there may be a wait.
