Farah Barakat
Owner
Hi, I’m Farah Barakat, and I’m the creator of this platform. My mission is to raise awareness about eating disorders and provide support for those who are struggling.
​
Eating disorders are a challenge that many individuals face, often in silence. Through understanding the stories of various people and the struggles they have encountered, I have learned that these disorders are not just about food—they are about a deeper internal battle. From feelings of being trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts to the inability to understand or express what was happening, the journey toward recovery is often filled with confusion, pain, and a sense of isolation. The good news, however, is that recovery is possible. It requires self-compassion, seeking help, and learning to love and accept oneself again.
​
I have come to understand that while eating disorders manifest differently for everyone, the core of recovery is the same: finding the strength to reach out, acknowledging the problem, and taking small, daily steps toward healing. My goal is to create a space for those who are struggling with eating disorders to feel seen, heard, and supported. This platform is here to provide resources, share stories, and raise awareness in the hope that no one has to face their battle alone. Through this, I hope to reduce the stigma surrounding eating disorders and show that, with the right support, recovery is always within reach.
