Overcoming Melrose Eating Disorder

I never thought I would be dealing with an eating disorder at 39, but here I am. I used to feel so ashamed and like I was the only one struggling with this, but I’ve found so much support and understanding in this community. It’s been a tough road, but I’m learning to be kind to myself and to seek help when I need it. It’s a daily challenge, but I have hope that things will get better. If anyone else is going through something similar, just know that you’re not alone and it’s okay to ask for help. We’re all in this together.
