Eating Disorders
If you have arrived at University with a known eating disorder, please inform us at the Medical Centre. We will then be able to discuss the most appropriate course of action for your needs, which may include a referral to the local Eating Disorder Project. It may be that an eating related problem has come to light since you have been here, in which case please do not suffer alone, it is important to seek help.
With eating disorders there is usually a presence of:
- Disturbed perception of body image
- a pre-occupation with food
- slimming or dietary books
- an increase in exercising
- use of laxatives
- binge eating
Are you or have you begun to weigh yourself on a regular basis?
Do you make yourself sick because you feel full?
Do you worry that you have lost control over how much you eat?
Have you recently lost more that one stone in a 3-month period?
Do you believe yourself to be fat when others say you are thin?
Would you say food dominates your life?
There are numerous reasons why any of the above may begin to happen and can sometimes be linked to lifestyle changes, relationship problems, homesick, undue stress and pressure. There is help available whether that is through talking therapies such as the Health Advisor at the Medical Centre or the University Counselling Service.
