TLDR via Sky News #cookafteryourself The number of university-aged students needing support for eating disorders in the UK has more than doubled over the last five years, according to a leading charity. BEAT - which offers support to people over the phone, by text, or email - told Sky News that between April 2023 and March 2024, they delivered 15,120 helpline sessions to 18 to 22-year-olds, up from 6,620 for the same period between 2019 and 2020. Erin Butler, a student in Birmingham, said she’d suffered a relapse with her eating disorder following her freshers’ week, having struggled with anorexia from the age of 15. “I think coming to uni, I really wanted to get rid of that part of myself, leave behind the anorexic, sick version of myself and come as a new person”, she said. The English student, now in her third year, said she wanted to “create a new identity, a fun, go out all the time, really live the uni lifestyle person, but I think trying to hide that part of yourself doesn’t really work - it’ll always be there, it’s always going to come up in some way”. She returned to her home in County Armagh in Northern Ireland to access treatment via her GP. She’s certain that the campus lifestyle triggered her anorexia again. “I think the mixture of managing my finances, managing my own groceries and making sure I was able to make classes on time… all of that combined becomes too much and when you have everything going on in your head as well, it’s really a disaster,” she said. The charity’s director of external affairs Tom Quinn said university is often the time when young people are away from home for the first time. “It is often a time of anxiety when they are under pressure for a new way of working and studying,” he said. “They’re meeting new friends, they’re also having to cook for themselves and also do all of this without sort of parental supervision. “So we think for some people, they are developing an eating disorder for the first time.”

There’s lovely. #cookafteryourself Fixed this design up on Canva as it reminds me of pre-emoji days when recipes were in books with covers just like this. Delia Smith and what have you. I’m utterly beguiled by @cookingaftered’s process and with tongue firmly in cheek I shall be adding more to her already-extravagant bistro in due course. I also humbly recognise that I’m becoming my dad throughout all dis. Well he ordered the domain for us www.cookafteryourself.com so I guess this is lights, camera; kitchen for the soft launch of @cookingaftered

My best friend @julietteeeeem is concocting recipes and a cook book for sufferers of eating disorders. What delicious meals has she been preparing for you? Head on over to @cookingaftered and give her a follow and possibly some advice on how to get published if you can. Juliette is refreshingly candid about her experiences and I’ll admit it recovery is hard as baws but with little steps I don’t see how it could be any easier than taking it one day at a time.
