Eating disorders are serious and can lead to medical complications. Before anything else, it’s important to make sure you’re safe. If you are thinking of hurting yourself or someone else, then you should call 9-1-1.
What will happen after?
Once you’re out of crisis, you should connect with medical and mental health providers to come up with a treatment plan. This looks different for everybody but might include temporarily moving into a treatment facility, attending a program for a couple hours a week, or seeing a therapist at their office once or twice a week.

We started buya because we believe that nobody should have to face an eating disorder alone. In August 2020, our family faced crisis when Mia, 13, was checked in to the hospital for severe cardiac symptoms from anorexia nervosa. Three years later and we want to help others in our community.
