  • Eating disorders | The Hope Project

    Eating Disorders An eating disorder is a mental health disorder where you use food and weight to cope with emotional distress. People of all ages, genders and backgrounds can develop an eating disorder, although teenagers and young women are at higher risk. With treatment, you can recover from an eating disorder. If you are going through an eating disorder, it is important to have the right assessment and treatment as early as possible to help you deal with your physical, nutritional and mental health needs. If you're struggling with an eating disorder you're not alone. There is support there and you can get through it. Recovery is the best option, it can be a long and hard road but you can get through it. You are so much stronger than you even know. "What are the types of eating disorders?" Anorexia Nervosa Anorexia (or anorexia nervosa) is a serious mental illness where people are of low weight due to limiting how much they eat and drink. They may develop “rules” around what they feel they can and cannot eat, as well as things like when and where they’ll eat. Anorexia can affect anyone of any age, gender, ethnicity or background. As well as limiting how much they eat, they may do lots of exercise, make themselves sick, or misuse laxatives to get rid of food eaten. Some people with anorexia may experience cycles of bingeing (eating large amounts of food at once) and then purging. Read more Bulimia (or bulimia nervosa) is a serious mental illness. It can affect anyone of any age, gender, ethnicity or background. People with bulimia are caught in a cycle of eating large quantities of food (called bingeing), and then trying to compensate for that overeating by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, fasting, or exercising excessively (called purging). Treatment at the earliest possible opportunity gives the best chance for a fast and sustained recovery from bulimia. Read more Bulimia OSFED Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are diagnosed using a list of expected behavioural, psychological, and physical symptoms. Sometimes a person’s symptoms don’t exactly fit the expected symptoms for any of these three specific eating disorders. In that case, they might be diagnosed with an “other specified feeding or eating disorder” (OSFED). This is very common. OSFED accounts for the highest percentage of eating disorders, and anyone of any age, gender, ethnicity or background can experience it. It is every bit as serious as anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, and can develop from or into another diagnosis. People suffering from OSFED need and deserve treatment just as much as anyone else with an eating disorder. Read more Rumination disorder Rumination disorder is an illness that involves repetitive, habitual bringing up of food that might be partly digested. It often occurs effortlessly and painlessly, and is not associated with nausea or disgust. Rumination disorder can affect anyone at any age. Vomiting in rumination disorder is different to the kind of sickness you might get with a stomach bug, for example – the person won’t appear to feel sick or experience involuntary retching. The person may re-chew and re-swallow the food or just spit it out. People with rumination disorder often do not feel in control of their disorder. Read more ARFID Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, more commonly known as ARFID, is a condition characterised by the person avoiding certain foods or types of food, having restricted intake in terms of overall amount eaten, or both. Someone might be avoiding and/or restricting their intake for a number of different reasons. Read more Binge eating disorder Binge eating disorder (BED) is a serious mental illness where people eat very large quantities of food without feeling like they’re in control of what they’re doing. It can affect anyone of any age, gender, ethnicity or background, and evidence suggests it is more common than other eating disorders. Read more Orthorexia refers to an unhealthy obsession with eating “pure” food. Food considered “pure” or “impure” can vary from person to person. This doesn’t mean that anyone who subscribes to a healthy eating plan or diet is suffering from orthorexia. As with other eating disorders, the eating behaviour involved – “healthy” or “clean” eating in this case – is used to cope with negative thoughts and feelings, or to feel in control. Someone using food in this way might feel extremely anxious or guilty if they eat food they feel is unhealthy Orthorexia Read more PICA Pica is a feeding disorder in which someone eats non-food substances that have no nutritional value, such as paper, soap, paint, chalk, or ice. For a diagnosis of pica, the behaviour must be present for at least one month, not part of a cultural practice, and developmentally inappropriate – generally, it’s not diagnosed in children under the age of two, as it is common for babies to “mouth” objects, which can lead to them accidentally eating substances that aren’t meant to be eaten. Often, pica is not revealed until medical consequences occur, such as metal toxicity, cracked teeth, or infections Read more Anyone of any age, gender, background etc can suffer from an eating disorder. You don't need to be underweight to have an eating disorder. Your thoughts and feelings are valid and its important to get help. A person can develop an eating disorder for any number of reasons, and there is usually an accumulation of ‘risk factors’ which are identified as the person progresses through treatment. It is not always the case that something significantly traumatic has happened in a person’s life that has caused the eating disorder, although sometimes this can be the case. More often than not, there are many factors that for some reason interact in a particular way for that particular person, triggering them to engage in disordered eating behaviours, which in turn triggers their thinking to become distorted and results in the person becoming increasingly ‘imprisoned’ by the eating disorder. - Bodywhys BEAT Eating disorders can take up someone's life and they might feel horrible about themselves. Try to be patient if you know someone who is struggling and listen. Beateatingdisorder UK is a brilliant charity in the UK and they have a lot of information and resources.

  • Grief and coping with loss | The Hope Project

    If you are struggling with grief you are not alone. Grief and coping with loss Losing someone you love can be one of the hardest things to deal with. Especially if you were close to that person. "Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss—and the more significant the loss, the more intense your grief will be." Grieving process There is no right or wrong way to grieve; it is a very personal process. How you grieve is determined by a wide range of things, such as your personality and coping mechanisms, your life experience, your religious beliefs, and the importance of the loss to you. The grieving process inevitably requires time. There is no "normal" timeframe for grieving; healing develops gradually and cannot be hastened or coerced. In weeks or months, some people start to feel better. For some it may take years. Whatever your level of pain, it's crucial to be kind to yourself and let things take their course. If you’ve experienced a loss, there are a number of things that will help you as you grieve: be gentle with yourself. Your energy may be low for a while so do not place too many demands on yourself. look after your physical health. You may find you’ve lost your appetite. However, it’s important that you eat healthily. Many people find eating small but frequent meals helpful. It’s also important to try to get some exercise; even a small walk each day can be beneficial. make sure you get enough rest and sleep. This will help you avoid becoming run down or physically ill. seek out support from others who are willing to listen. Talking is important because it helps you express what you’re feeling. Try to find one or two people with whom you can simply be yourself and who’ll allow you to talk when you need to. allow yourself to experience the feelings that come with bereavement, even if they’re difficult. It can be helpful to talk these over with someone you trust. This could be a family member, although it’s important to remember they are grieving too. Sometimes, talking to someone outside the family can be beneficial. don’t rush things. You’re trying to come to terms with a major upheaval in your life. Give yourself permission to take things a bit easier. In general, it’s best to put off making major decisions such as moving home or changing jobs for at least six months to a year. Physical and emotional symptoms of grief These are some of the physical symptoms of grief that you may experience: a hollow feeling in your stomach tightness, or heaviness, in your chest or throat oversensitivity to noise difficulty breathing feeling very tired and weak a lack of energy dry mouth an increase or decrease in appetite finding it hard to sleep or fear of sleeping aches and pains. Normal emotional reactions can include: Temporary loss of interest in things that used to bring joy Numbness, shock, sadness, despair, fear, guilt Decreased confidence and self-esteem Temporary increase in anxiety Sense of loss of control Changes in capacity and ability to deal with stress Less focus at work Changes in interpersonal relationships If your sadness, anxiety or depression persist for a period of time without relief, or if you experience significant impacts to your ability to function in the world, you may need to seek professional help. Things to be on the lookout for include: Inability to get out of bed Deep sense of hopelessness all the time Listlessness that does not go away Complete lack of joy in things that used to bring you great joy Suicidal thoughts Self-isolation Sleep disruption that does not get better over time Inability to work Ways to cope Coping with loss is something that's very hard to do. Its okay to be upset, shocked or many other things you may be feeling. Its okay to let yourself grieve, be patient with yourself. Talking to a professional about how you're feeling and getting tips off them can help greatly. Remember you're never alone and there's always someone there to listen 24/7.

  • Abuse and getting help | THE HOPE PROJECT

    If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation you're not alone. There is help available. Abuse and getting help If you or some you know is experiencing abuse or has in the past there is help available. You're not alone. Domestic abuse Domestic abuse and coercive control is a persistent and deliberate pattern of behaviour by an abuser over a prolonged period of time designed to achieve obedience and create fear. It may include coercion, threats, stalking, intimidation, isolation, degradation and control. It may also include physical and/or sexual violence. Domestic abuse and coercive control are all about making a persons world smaller – trapping them, restricting them independence and freedom. A controlling partner may shut out their friends and family, control their movements, micro-manage what she eats or wears, restrict their access to money – all the time chipping away at their confidence and destroying their self-respect. It is not their imagination. It is not their fault. It is not acceptable. Weiterlesen Getting help If you’re trying to decide whether to stay or leave, you may be feeling confused, uncertain, frightened, and torn. Maybe you’re still hoping that your situation will change or you’re afraid of how your partner will react if he discovers that you’re trying to leave. One moment, you may desperately want to get away, and the next, you may want to hang on to the relationship. Maybe you even blame yourself for the abuse or feel weak and embarrassed because you’ve stuck around in spite of it. Don’t be trapped by confusion, guilt, or self-blame. The only thing that matters is your safety. If you are being abused, remember: You are not to blame for being battered or mistreated. You are not the cause of your partner’s abusive behavior. You deserve to be treated with respect. You deserve a safe and happy life. Your children deserve a safe and happy life. You are not alone. There are people waiting to help. There are supports available to help keep you safe. Your GP can help by referring you to appropriate supports and services in your local area.

Your local Citizens Information Centre can give you advice on your rights. They will also tell you about the supports and services available in your local area. Sexual assault or rape If you need to talk to someone in confidence about sexual assault or rape, the Rape Crisis Centre (1800 77 88 88 ) can help.

Child Abuse Child abuse can be categorised into four different types: neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse and sexual abuse. A child may be subjected to one or more forms of abuse at any given time. Abuse and neglect can occur within the family, in the community or in an institutional setting. The abuser may be someone known to the child or a stranger, and can be an adult, or another child. In a situation where abuse is alleged to have been carried out by another child, you should consider it a child welfare and protection issue for both children and you should follow child protection procedures for both the victim and the alleged abuser. The important factor in deciding whether the behaviour is abuse or neglect is the impact of that behaviour on the child rather than the intention of the parent/carer.

It's normal to feel confused about why you're feeling this way. These thoughts aren't permanent, You will feel okay again, with the right support . When you're in the grip of suicidal feelings, it can be really tough. It might seem like there's no way out, like acting on those feelings is the only option, or that nothing can make the pain go away. But remember, those feelings, though intense, can pass. In this moment, there are things you can try. Even if it feels like nothing will make a difference, give these strategies a chance. You might feel differently once you've given them a shot. Instead of fixating on the future, focus on getting through this moment or day. You've likely experienced similar feelings before, and they've eventually faded. Remind yourself that this pain is temporary; it will likely ease with time. Try changing your immediate thoughts by doing something different or shifting your focus. It doesn't have to be a big change—small steps can help. Don’t make a decision today You don’t need to act on your thoughts right now. You can try to focus on just getting through now, or today, and not the rest of your life. You may have had these thoughts before, but you feel less able to cope today. You might find that you are more able to cope in a few days. Other ways to cope Talk to someone about how you are feeling - This could be a Family Member, Teacher, Friend, Counsellor or a Hotline. If you are finding it hard to talk about what you’re going through, you can try starting with: “Lately, I’ve been feeling…” “I think it started when…” “I’ve been feeling this for a while…” or “I’m thinking about…” Write about your feelings, Writing down how you are feeling can really help. Writing in a journal or on a piece of paper and then destroying that paper can give you a sense of relief. Take things a little at a time. Set out to get through the next day, the next week or month, perhaps the next hour or even less. Tell yourself: "I've got through so far, I can get through the next hour". Coping with these thoughts What you May think or feel hopeless, like there is no point in living tearful and overwhelmed by negative thoughts unbearable pain that you can't imagine ending useless, not wanted or not needed by others desperate, as if you have no other choice like everyone would be better off without you cut off from your body or physically numb fascinated by death. What you may experience poor sleep, including waking up earlier than you want to a change in appetite, weight gain or loss no desire to take care of yourself, for example neglecting your physical appearance wanting to avoid others making a will or giving away possessions struggling to communicate self-loathing and low self-esteem urges to self-harm .

Mehr sehen Ich leide seit ungefähr 3 Jahren an psychischen Problemen und kämpfe die meiste Zeit mit Selbstverletzung und Selbstmordgedanken. An einem Tag im letzten Jahr hatte ich gerade genug und ich hatte völlig aufgegeben und die Hoffnung verloren, dass irgendetwas besser werden würde, in dieser Nacht unternahm ich einen Anschlag auf mein Leben, der mich dann ins Krankenhaus brachte und behandelt werden musste. Für jeden, der darüber nachdenkt, sich das Leben zu nehmen, geben Sie dem Leben bitte eine weitere Chance. Ich weiß, dass die Dinge im Moment unvorstellbar schwer für Sie sind, aber die Dinge können sich mit der Zeit und der richtigen Hilfe verbessern. Du bist wichtig, du bist stark und die Welt ist ein besserer Ort mit dir. kämpfe weiter <3 Ich habe jahrelang mit psychischer Gesundheit gekämpft, es war das Schwierigste, was ich durchmachen musste, weil ich mich so allein fühlte, selbst wenn Leute versuchten, mir zu helfen. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich mich im letzten Jahr komplett verloren habe und ich bin die ganze Zeit depressiv und ängstlich. Oder ich fühle mich einfach taub und das ist noch schlimmer. Ich hatte viele Suizidversuche und wurde auch ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. Ich habe Unterstützung von meiner Familie und meinen Freunden und so sehr sie sich auch bemühen, sie können nicht helfen. Meine Selbstmordgedanken wurden so viel stärker und jeden Tag weiterzumachen fühlt sich an, als würde ich einen Marathon laufen. Es wird immer besser, es ist nur schwer. Ich weiß, dass ich eines Tages glücklich sein werde, es ist nur so schwer, darauf zu warten. Wenn Sie Probleme haben, sind Sie nicht allein, fliegen Sie weiter xxx Anchor 1 Hallo, das ist meine Geschichte. Als Kind fiel es mir schwer, erwachsen zu werden, mir wurde gesagt, dass ich viele Dinge nicht tun könnte, und sie glaubten nicht, dass ich es jemals könnte. Ich habe Spina bifida. Spina bifida ist eine Diagnose, die von Ärzten gestellt wird, während Sie im Mutterleib sind oder sobald Sie geboren wurden, oder so sagten sie, als ich ein Kind war, aber jetzt können Sie sie später im Leben diagnostizieren. Ich wurde diagnostiziert, als ich zwei Jahre alt wurde, sie sagten meiner Mutter immer wieder, dass mit mir alles in Ordnung sei, aber es war so. Es war hart, in der Öffentlichkeit beurteilt zu werden, in der Schule gemobbt zu werden und völlig anders behandelt zu werden, und es ist nicht fair. Die Leute schätzen mich glücklich, weil es andere Leute gibt, die es viel schlimmer haben als ich, und das weiß ich. Ich werde im Vergleich zu ihnen als glücklich angesehen, weil ich laufen kann, mein Leben leben kann und dafür bin ich großartig. Wir sollten nicht anders behandelt werden. Da ich noch in der Sekundarschule bin, ist der Kampf noch nicht vorbei, aber du musst weitermachen. Ich werde das Gold unter dem Regenbogen erreichen 🌈 Das ist meine Geschichte In den letzten 3 oder 4 Jahren habe ich mich mit schlechter psychischer Gesundheit befasst, ich bin zu verschiedenen Organisationen zur Therapie gegangen. Ich kämpfte mit Selbstmordgedanken und würde in Betracht ziehen, täglich darauf zu reagieren. Ich verletzte mich selbst und es gab Tage, an denen ich nichts anderes tun wollte, als im Bett zu bleiben, weg von der Welt. Aber nach einer Weile der Therapie, als ich verstand, wie ich mich fühlte, ging es mir besser. Risse können nicht vollständig heilen, aber ich weiß, dass ich viel glücklicher bin als zuvor, weil ich gehofft und hart gearbeitet habe, um dort zu sein, wo ich heute bin. Es gibt Licht am Ende eines Tunnels und sobald du erkennst, dass du nicht allein bist, ist das dein erster Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Ich habe 7 Mal versucht, meinem Leben ein Ende zu setzen, das letzte Mal war ich lange im Krankenhaus. Ich denke immer noch darüber nach, es noch einmal zu tun, aber dann erinnere ich mich an all die Menschen, die ich zurücklassen würde, und ich kann ihnen das nicht antun. Die Leute sagen, es wird besser werden, aber ich weiß, dass es viel Zeit brauchen wird, um dorthin zu gelangen, aber ich weiß, dass ich das schaffen kann. DU HAST DAS, ICH GLAUBE AN DICH! Ich habe seit meinem 12. Lebensjahr mit meiner psychischen Gesundheit zu kämpfen, ich bin jetzt fast 30 und habe eine Liste mit Diagnosen. Im Moment ist jede Sekunde eines jeden Tages ein Kampf. aber ich weiß, dass ich 18 Jahre davon überlebt habe, also jetzt aufzugeben, würde all das wegwerfen. Ich will nur, dass es besser wird. Ich bin es leid zu kämpfen. Ich hatte Phasen des Glücks, also weiß ich, dass das eines Tages zurückkommen wird, aber es ist so schwer, sich darauf zu konzentrieren, wenn die Dinge so dunkel werden. Meine Geschichte begann, als ich 10 Jahre alt war, als ich von einem Freund meines Bruders sexuell missbraucht wurde. Es passierte bei mehreren Gelegenheiten und traf mich nicht wirklich, bis ich 14 oder 15 war. Ich begann auch wirklich ängstlich und nervös zu werden als unter depressiven Episoden leidend. Während dieser Zeit begann ich, mich selbst zu verletzen, um damit fertig zu werden. Als ich 16 Jahre alt war, fing ich an, Selbstmordgedanken zu haben, die mich ständig beschäftigten. Ich bin derzeit 17 und kämpfe immer noch mit meinem Verstand, Selbstmordgedanken und dem Gedanken an einen Rückfall. Ich hoffe an alle, die dies lesen, dass es Ihnen gut geht und Sie stark bleiben. du bist so wertvoll. du bist so würdig. und ich liebe dich so sehr, das ist meine Geschichte x I recently lost my uncle to cancer and it fully destroyed me, i ended up shutting myself away and turning to self harm as i couldn't even start to explain the feelings in me. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel even when its beyond hard to find, but throughout it ive learnt theres always going to be someone there to help you and get you back on the right track x "I’ve been struggling my whole life with my mental health I grew up with drug addicted parents and the trauma and pain from that really broke me I found one of my parents almost dead one day but I never really understood half of it tell I got older it only got worse when I started secondary school I spiralled into a bad depression I started self harming and developing my own mental issues on top of the trauma I grew up with the pain I felt inside broke me racing sad thoughts 24 hours of the day and I jsut couldn’t think about anything else I tried loads of things to help me but nothing stopped I had restless nights and a chest filled with axienty all the times I was sent to camhs and told them all of my story and I was told I was looking for attention at that point I felt so alone that I was nearing a attempt on my life i tried peita house they where good but it Only helped for a few hours to share my story but it dint change anything for me I was so tired of it all I left school stopped doing the things I loved and I felt so bad because most of the pain I was feeling was projected onto others with anger and I just wanted to scream my pain out but I jsut couldn’t in fear of being judged every day was a loop i simply thought nobody would care and when I came home every day or night I had nobody to turn to because my parents would be on drugs or asleep because they where taking drugs the night before. I grew up so quick because of all this I still struggle to this day but I’m getting better now the scars I have are just battle scars and it reminds me everyday that I’m strong because look what I got myself through makes me feel so proud of myself because I’ve been through the unthinkable sad life and I somehow pulled through -HOLD ON PAIN ENDS" Your Stories Do you want your story submitted anonymously on the page.
