STARFISH
Our relationship with food and our bodies often changes – sometimes we
feel secure in our bodies, other times we may feel insecure, we also may
go through phases of trying to eat more healthily, or we might eat too
much and lose touch with our appetite. Troubles with eating and our
bodies are incredibly common, but they can become a problem when we
feel like they are taking over.
There are great benefits from talking to others with the same problem.
Starfish is a peer-support group which we run in conjunction with the
Glasgow-based eating disorder charity, GEDS. Starfish runs once a
month on campus but GEDS also run a session in town, so there is a
meeting once a fortnight. You can go to as many or few and go as often
or little as you feel you need/want to – the sessions are anonymous (and
no one from the GUSA council sits in on them).
