Social media, food and me

Social Media Food and Me

This piece was created in collaboration with FREED, an organisation that provides support for 16 to 25-year-olds living with an eating disorder.

The narratives within the piece are based on lived experiences of those being supported by FREED, who, through one-to-one interviews, explored how they felt their social media use impacted their eating disorder.

The animation aims to encourage those with an eating disorder, (and perhaps indeed all of us) to observe how our social media use impacts our lives and experiences, in both positive and negative ways.
