Adults in the UK with ARFID - help?

Tips and Advice

Hi there!

I have a range of comorbid disorders including OCD, ADHD and CPTSD. I have been under general primary mental health care services for a long time. My therapist came to the conclusion that my OCD based food aversion was becoming a problem and she believes I have ARFID. She has consulted with the ED team who agree but are only commissioned to work with people who have EDs relating to body dysmorphia/weight. As I have a career and not underweight, I don’t meet threshold for secondary mental health services as I’m seen as high functioning. I’m at a loss with where to turn. Does anyone based in the UK have any ideas of where I can go to for support?
