A former teacher has described the lengths she would go to in order to keep her eating disorder hidden from friends and family as she continues to push towards complete recovery.
Niamh Brownlee began to develop an eating disorder when she was studying for her A-levels in school which would soon take over her life and occupy her thoughts every second of the day alongside a deep depression that would eventually lead to her being admitted to a mental health unit.
In an effort to help others and spread awareness around mental health issues and their treatments, she has written a diary of her experience on the ward called 'Struggling to Breathe'.
