Campaign: | To show that anorexia doesn't just affect women |
My Fixers project is aimed at breaking down stereotypes about anorexia.
When I was 15 things felt massively out of control for me in terms of friendship groups, schoolwork and family, and that's when I started to develop anorexia.
Everyone always associates this illness with wanting to be thin but for me it wasn't anything about that. I didn't care how I looked, I didn't care how thin I was, it was all about just having something to control.
I want to shed some light on the issue of anorexia in men. I want people to realise that men do suffer with this illness as well as women.
The following Fixers helped me with this Fix:
Daniel Harris
Taji Rafferty
Alex Noble

I would like to thank Bristol University Students' Union for hosting us during the broadcast filming.
