He used to have an eating disorder (ED) called anorexia, but now considers himself fully recovered. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>He recalled: \u201cIn school, there was a rumour I had been taking drugs, which led to the way I was behaving and my weight loss. Maybe this seemed more likely than an ED because I was a 15-year-old boy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This week saw Eating Disorders Awareness Week and University Mental Health Day taking place with events across Cardiff. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Luke argues awareness weeks can help to break down stigma around EDs. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are so many misunderstandings about EDs that it&#8217;s important to have a week where everyone comes together to break down the stigma and give a little boost to the campaign for better ED care,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing\na guy, it was more difficult for me to accept that I might be suffering from an\nED. Before I was ill, I held the misconception that anorexia was a \u2018teenage\ngirl&#8217;s disease\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>According\nto the National Centre for Eating Disorders, men account for 1-5% of anorexia\nnervosa cases.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\ndo wonder whether my gender made it less obvious that an ED was the cause of my\nweight loss and other behavioural and psychological changes,\u201d said Luke, who\nnow studies biomedical sciences at Cardiff University.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo\nthis day, people are still surprised when I tell them I&#8217;ve suffered with\nanorexia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>When Luke was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa as a 15-year-old he said it felt \u201calmost unreal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Some of the first symptoms that\nLuke experienced were an increase in exercise and eating less.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew that\nsomething was wrong, but I was reluctant to admit that it could be anorexia.&nbsp;It seemed\nlike such a horrible diagnosis and I felt ashamed because of the stigma,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the\nother hand, it was a big relief to finally have a diagnosis to validate and\nhelp explain the way I was feeling.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Luckily for Luke, his mum\nis a nurse, and noticed the signs and symptoms early on: \u201cShe was able to\nrecognise that something wasn&#8217;t quite right when I lost weight and started to\nbehave differently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>A group of Beat ambassadors campaigned at the Senedd on Wednesday to discuss waiting times, access for treatment and the referral process for people with EDs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This led to a speech from Bethan Sayed AM, who said: \u201cWaiting times for those with eating disorders can take up to three years. Maximum wait is four weeks for non-urgent patients, one week for urgent referrals. Yet this is far from the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"820\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bethany.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-500x547.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-293x320.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/jomec.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bethany.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-500x547.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2020\/03\/bethany-293x320.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Bethan Sayed AM giving a speech about eating disorders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Speaking\nof the invisible nature of mental health conditions, Zoe John,\noriginally from Pembrokeshire but now based in Cardiff, said: \u201cJust by speaking\nabout my experiences, you could see how&nbsp;[people at the Senedd]&nbsp;didn\u2019t&nbsp;realise&nbsp;the\nprevalence or dangers of eating disorders. They really do affect anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Recalling\nthe feelings that she had before having bulimia and OSFED (other specific feeding\nor eating disorder), Zoe said that she \u201cexperienced low self-esteem and\nloneliness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cLack of\nfunding, lack of research and waiting times all need to be discussed. Everyone\nwe spoke to on Wednesday thanked us for bringing EDAW to their attention.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Luke said that he also experienced feelings of \u201canxiety and depression leading up to [his] eating disorder\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>On\nThursday, staff and students across Cardiff and the UK celebrated University\nMental Health Day, which seeks to improve mental health at universities.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Grace Jackson, 21, originally from London, explained that she experienced feelings of low mood and loneliness when she first moved to Cardiff University. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Grace said: \u201cEveryone has mental health \u2013 it\u2019s when that fluctuates that it can become an illness.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy\nto have low periods and high periods and relaxed periods and anxious periods,\u201d\nshe added.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Discussing\nthe importance of mental health awareness days to help in combatting stigmas,\nshe explained: \u201cThese conditions are invisible, so awareness days are important\nto be able to tell people that it\u2019s normal for mental health to fluctuate while\nat university.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Grace,\nwho is studying psychology at Cardiff University, recalled her own experiences\nwith low mood and feelings of loneliness when she first moved to university.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>She said:\n\u201cWhen I started university, my mental health suffered.
