Difficulty with eating or feeding deserves attention even when it is hard to explain or invisible to others. This page helps organize a care conversation. It does not ask you to count calories, record weight, change meals, or decide which diagnosis applies.
How to use this page
Use broad descriptions rather than detailed quantities. Choose what feels possible to share with a qualified healthcare professional.
Describe the impact
Consider fear, distress, avoidance, loss of control, sensory difficulty, or physical symptoms affecting meals and daily life. No particular appearance is required for a concern to deserve assessment.
Make contact easier
Identify a barrier such as cost, shame, transport, or fear of being dismissed. Prepare a request for medical evaluation and appropriately qualified eating-disorder or feeding support.
