Hello all. I apologise if I speak about myself a bit too much in this video, it’s just I only really have one ‘case study’ of recovery – my own. It is always difficult to generalise with such a personal illness, but I think many of the things I say can be applied to lots of people in the position of wanting to recover, but feeling ambivalent at the same time. I wish you all luck. If you would like more ED videos, please say – otherwise you’ll have to suffer more of my rambles! I love you all. x
