Even if you can relate to what they’re going through with a similar experience, it can still be a challenge to support them. If a friend is going through something relatably difficult, think about what you would’ve needed to hear at […]

CW: Eating Disorders The holiday season has arrived, and while festivities may be long-awaited for some, it’s not always the most ‘wonderful time of the year’ for everyone. Many families center holiday celebrations around food, and for people who have a complex relationship with food, this can bring feelings of stress and anxiety rather than […]

One thing I’ve always struggled with is perfectionism. As someone with a lot of anxiety, I often feel like everything I do has to either be done “right” or not at all, because the fear of failing—or, at least, the fear of not meeting my own expectations—is overwhelming. This sometimes means I continuously put off […]
