Hi, my name is Anoushka, I am studying English Lit and Politics at the moment, but i have a real passion for theatre directing, which i like to do on the side. My main reason for starting up SRSH@UEA is because a very close friend of mine has been battling with and an eating disorder for a couple of years now, and i felt powerless to help her as i didn’t know nearly enough about the affects of having an eating disorder and least of all what it was like to live with one. So i got in touch with B-eat to see if there was any training i could take part in and they suggested setting up a group at UEA with SRSH. Its two years on now and the group is well underway. Since starting the self-help group I have been astonished as to how many people struggle day to day, even if only occasionally, with eating, and so i feel that it is important that there is a place where people can go and talk to others who are having the same experiences as them (especially as uni can be such a stressful and isolating environment!). It also means that attendees can find out about other support networks in Norwich as we have worked hard to make good connections with these networks, so that we can help find the best one to suit the individual. We always aim to provide confidential and friendly support for those that come to the group, so that they can find the process of getting help that bit easier.
