I am in a very bad place at the moment with my ED. Feeling very overwhelmed and depressed. I am alone right now and really need some messages of hope to distract me from how I am feeling right now. Just a quick hello would be fine, just dont want to feel so isolated.

" Hiya ... and you are not alone. We're all going through the same thing (more or less) and we're here for you. Chat away as much as you like. :)

Can you do something nice for yourself today as a distraction? "

" Hello, you are not alone. We are here for you. Your distraction could be to come here and chat about anything until that overwhelming feeling subsides. We will chat with you.

Hugs your way. "
