She has overcome bulimia, anorexia nervosa, body dysmorphia, orthorexia, etc. She accepted and fought through years of eating disorders. As of today, she runs an NGO, defeating disorders to inspire hundreds of women who trudge the same path, trying to fit in the unrealistic beauty standards.
Physical, mental, and emotional side effects of the eating disorder you faced? What was your family and friends' response to the same? How did you manage to come out of it?
Through my recovery, I realized that I have never felt more unfit, insecure, and unhappy than when I was deprived of food. I was hungry and irritable all the time.
My family and closest friends were extremely patient with me while I was at rock bottom. Initially, they had no idea what I was putting myself through so to a certain extent they felt confused and helpless, but once I opened up and actively started recovering - they were there every step of the way. Every hurdle was another stepping stone towards growth and progress.
Throw some light on the NGO you run "Defeating Disorders". When did you start it, its aim, and how women can reach out to you to seek help?
Defeating Disorders is an NGO that I founded in 2021 along with a core team and a board of medical professionals. We have over 25+ psychologists, dieticians, and nutritionists on board to help people in their recovery journey.
