New in from Trigger publishing: 'Stand Tall Little Girl' by Hope Virgo *TW*: ED

*This post comes with a big trigger warning that the book I'm discussing is about struggling with an eating disorder*

Books about mental health are something I sometimes struggle with because they can be triggering AF. The past few that I've read haven't been too bad, but I found Stand Tall Little Girl tough. I was in a bit of a low mood when I started reading it and it was so well written and accurate that I found myself having to take a few steps back, and wanting to finish it sooner to deal with my emotions around the book.

How to help a friend with an eating disorder *TW*

How to help a friend with an eating disorder

I've spent a long time deciding whether 'how to' really fits this post, because it's not some kind of guide or manual or step-by-step instruction. I considered 'ways to' or 'helping', but none of them really fit the idea I had in mind. Now that ramble is over, I'm going to say that obviously I'm not a medical professional, so take everything in this post with a pinch of salt and all that jazz.
