Friendship & Community - 2 Years of FOB

In this weeks episode, Has is joined by Adam Fare, Zoe Burnett, and Christina Taylor. Adam, Zoe and Christina are mental health campaigners who all have a range of mental health illnesses and neurodiversity lived experiences.

In this weeks episode, we discuss:

  • The importance of friendship and community in recovery, particularly individuals who have been there and understand your difficulties.

  • How we can work together to get all voices heard, rather than individual voices that may not share every experience?

  • Stigmas that they have experienced, and how they support each other to navigate these challenges to ensure they continue with their activism and awareness-raising work.

  • How you can navigate friendships with similar mental health conditions so you don't create a friendship around it, which encourages anti-recovery behaviours and an ED identity.

  • Finding identity beyond an eating disorder.

  • How to navigate support groups, making friends, and boundaries in sharing struggles with each other in mind.
