Eating relationship self-check

A short list of signals for adults, teenagers and parents. It is a reflection tool, not a diagnosis.

This is not a diagnostic test. It does not calculate risk or identify a condition. Selected answers are intended to help name what may be worth discussing with a doctor or appropriate professional.

Select every statement that fits the current situation

Thoughts about food, weight or appearance take up a large part of the day. I often skip meals, eat very irregularly or ignore hunger. I often feel strong guilt, shame or anxiety after eating. I sometimes feel a loss of control around food. Food rules interfere with social life, school, work or family life. My self-worth depends heavily on body weight, body shape or the way I eat. After eating, I try to compensate through fasting, vomiting, laxatives or excessive exercise. I experience fainting, rapid deterioration, severe weakness or other worrying physical symptoms. For me or my child, meals regularly cause intense fear, conflict or avoidance. I want to speak with a professional but find it difficult to decide where to start.

Your summary

Number of selected signals: 0. The number itself does not indicate a diagnosis.

If anything interferes with daily life, causes distress or concerns a child, discuss it with a GP or an appropriate specialist team.

Do not delay help: compensatory behaviours, fainting, rapid deterioration or severe physical symptoms require urgent medical assessment.

Where to seek help

If life is in immediate danger, call the local emergency number: 112 or 999 in Ireland, 999 in the UK, and 112 in Poland.
