Anorexic 'so grateful' to receive note in supermarket

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

A young woman with anorexia has said her life changed when she was handed a note in a supermarket by a fellow sufferer. Anna Wyatt believes she would have ended up in hospital "in two or three weeks" had it not been for the note from Ella Crouch. Ella, who has written a blog about her recovery, said her "heart sank" when she saw how thin Anna was, and didn't want to make her uncomfortable by approaching her, so she decided to give Anna the link to her website. "I can't say how grateful I am", said Anna, "it quite literally changed the path I was on, I don't think I would have been able to go back to uni in September like I did if Ella hadn't approached me". This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on December 14 2015.
