Express your Experiences of Eating Disorders or Disordered Eating

How do you express your difficulties around eating or your experiences of an eating disorder? No matter whether you are diagnosed or self-diagnosed with an eating disorder, or not sure whether any eating disorder ‘label’ fits you.
For a research study at the University of Nottingham (part of the EDIFY study) please share with us your own unique experience expressed in any way you want.

Upload your own texts, poems, open letters, songs, drawings, photography, music, film or any other medium using English or any other language. You can upload a maximum of two documents, so feel free to accompany images with captions or add pictures to your texts - if you like.  

You need to be 16 or older to participate. Any gender, any background, any body – it’s about you and your unique story!
