Helplines in Iceland.

Get help for eating disorder and body image problems from a helpline in Iceland.

If you're always disatisfied with the way your body looks and you've tried to control how it looks in harmful ways, then you may have an eating disorder. There are 2 hotlines in Iceland that help with body image and eating problems. If these symptoms sound familiar, reach out for free support:

• Regularly checking your body in the mirror for flaws.
• Sudden weight loss or weight gain.
• Feeling guilty, ashamed, and disgusted after eating too much or after eating the “wrong” foods.
• Missing periods or having irregular periods
• Trying to control your body weight/shape by vomiting, laxative abuse, or excessive exercise.
• Distorted body image: thinking you’re overweight when you’re a normal weight or underweight.
• Dizziness and potentially fainting.
• Excessive thinking about food, eating, and body weight or shape.

It can be hard to deal with the feelings of shame and guilt that so often accompany negative body image and disordered eating. Admitting that you've lost control and that you need help may feel harder than keeping your problems to yourself.
