OCD, the Body Image, the Eating Disorder?
It's maybe not something that is ever thought to be treated because they're dealing with the OCD, the body image, the eating disorder. So do you find that it is something that sort of flies under the radar a lot? Yeah, absolutely. And more so if it's the kind of perfectionism, a pattern where you're pulling away and you're opting out. But I worked for four years in the cystic fibrosis in the hospital. It's a chronic life-limiting genetic disorder. The treatments are designed to make you cough, and sometimes you cough so much you vomit. You're supposed to deliberately do this every day plus taking tablets every time you eat.
