A space for you.
At Orri, we believe that recovery is possible. However, we know that it is often hard for individuals to hold onto this hope and believe that it is possible for themselves, too.
Here, we’ve created a collaborative space for individuals (and their families) to share their stories and experiences, providing a space to nurture hope in recovery.
If you have something to say about eating disorder recovery, here is your place to say it. Our moderators will read your submission and, if it follows our guidelines, we will publish it on our blog.
Pen at the ready? You can submit your thoughts below. If you need some guidance, scroll down to read our FAQS.
Share your thoughts.
Writing for our blog
Can I submit a blog post?
Anyone who has been impacted by an eating disorder may submit a piece of writing. It may be that you yourself are recovered or recovering, or, you may have cared for a loved one who had an eating disorder. This is a space to tell your story.
What should I write about?
At Orri, we believe that holding onto hope and nurturing hope in eating disorder recovery is extremely important.
As such, we would encourage you to share thoughts and experiences that shine a positive light on recovery.
Is there anything else I should know?
This is your space, so write from the heart.
All submissions are monitored by our Head of Marketing, Kat, not our clinical team.
Is there anything I shouldn't write about?
We want to keep Orri’s website and blog as a safe refuge for those who are struggling. As such, we will not share any posts that include triggering content. Please avoid mentioning specific numbers around weight, diets, exercise or purging habits, or graphic descriptions.
Why would you not share my blog post?
We will not share your writing if it includes any of the triggering content mentioned above, or, if there is any clearly identifiable information about yourself or others.
What if I want to share an image?
Please email the image and the blog post to: askOrri@orri-uk.com
We ask that submissions don’t include photographs that may be triggering such as before/after pictures. All photographs will be reviewed by our team.
If you are struggling and in need of immediate support, please note that submissions are monitored on a weekly basis so we would recommend you reach out to our team via the Contact Us page.
