Entry 8: My Roommate has an Eating Disorder. What do I do?
Episode description
In Entry 8 of The Eating Disorder Diaries, Amy sits down with Kristen Epling, her close friend and longtime roommate. They discuss their time as roommates and talk about what they would've done differently to handle what always seemed like the elephant in the room at the time: Amy's frequent episodes with bulimia.
Amy refers to an article titled "5 Tips for When A Roommate is in Eating Disorder Recovery" written by Samreen Khan for the blog BALANCE (linked here), as it draws close parallels to her conversation with Kristen. If you are looking for a way to extend an olive branch to your roommate, whether you're the one suffering or you're the one concerned about them, you can share this podcast as a way to break the ice. There are so many people out there that can relate to you.
