Hello! My name is Iszy and  since I was very little I have struggled with mental ill health leading to many hospital admissions, within the recent years I have struggled with servers Anorexia Nervosa, which has taken so much away from me and my friends and family. 

The point of this fundraiser is to donate to the charity Beat, as they support those with eating disorders. These disorders can be so hard to live with as many people don’t understand what it is like to live with them, remember that it is much more than food. It can be feelings of being unworthiness , needing control, anxiety towards change or things needing to be perfect, and self punishment. There are so many reasons as to why someone develops an eating disorder, but nonetheless these individuals need help, love and support from peers and family. 

As frustrating as it is to be on the outside watching, remember that it is often very distressing for the person who is going through the illness, and just being there for them really does help. 

For those suffering with mental ill health there are support systems out there for you, if you suspect you are going through an illness and need help, your GP can refer you to the correct help. For children and adolescents there is CAMHS-which is run by the NHS, Childline is an important organisation that can give support to children and young people which you can call using 0800 1111.  Adults can contact the Samaritans on 116 123 or again, you can visit your local GP.

If you just need a chat or someone to vent to I too can be here for you, DM me on my open Instagram support account  @love_yourself_and_others_okay

Take care everyone!!!!
