Maybe you’ve just gotten the news, or you’re somewhere six months to even years into this rollercoaster ride. Anorexia -as are all eating disorders - is a tough gig, especially for the carers who are there day in and day out for someone who might not even notice. From hospital trips to juggling work, to trying all sorts of tricks to get someone to just eat, anorexia is a wild ride, and nobody knows when it's gonna wrap up. Plus, there's not much out there for us caring types so here's the bits from our journey complete with laughs, tears and those WTF moments. We’re not claiming to be experts on eating disorders - just two carers sharing the highs, the lows, and the downright ridiculous, with some light-hearted laughs along the way. Trigger Warning: This show contains discussions around anorexia, eating disorders, body image and mental health that may be triggering for some listeners.
