The 42-year-old was diagnosed with the eating disorder 10 years ago, and has spoken about how it 'takes control' with 'incredible' power
A dad-of-four diagnosed with anorexia over a decade ago has told of his “living hell” as he battles the condition.
“Absolutely starving, wanting to eat, want to eat so much, but you just can’t. I remember being out one night running and it was lashing raining, half five in the morning, and I just started crying. After treatment as an inpatient, Sean is now implementing an eating plan in the next phase of his recovery, with the support of his family. Dr Kielty Oberlin said there has been a significant rise in the numbers seeking help for eating disorders but “the help isn’t there, the services aren’t there.”
Bravely opening up on his struggle, Josh, who is dyslexic and autistic, said: “I’m feeling pretty scared and disappointed in myself because I feel like I was the one who let this happen.
