The isolation and social distancing resulting from the coronavirus are particularly triggering for people with eating disorders. Here are some places to find help.
People around the world are restructuring their daily lives to adapt to the new normal of social distancing and isolation as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. And while some people are managing to make the best of it, using the time at home to reorganize, eat healthier foods or take extra time to exercise, others — particularly those with or in recovery from eating disorders — are finding that the constant reminders to do so are triggering them to fall into unhealthy habits.
Mysko notes that, while the perpetuation of diet culture on social media is certainly nothing new, it becomes more harmful when coupled with the added triggers of isolation and uncertainty that have come with the pandemic. As Jennifer Rollin, an eating disorder therapist and founder of the Eating Disorder Center, also points out, “Eating disorders love isolation to spread.”
Beat Eating Disorders, based in the UK, has also done extensive outreach to address those same triggers, with a resource page dedicated to eating disorders and the coronavirus.
