What can I do?

I struggle with drinking too and I weirdly identify with aspects of ED struggles for whatever reason. Obviously they're very different but when people with ED talk about their effects (change in physical health, sleeping habits, feeling bad all the time, body changes etc) it just kinda clicks. I think its also because so many ED victims are high functioning so you find younger ones on the spectrum to relate too. The picture you get of alcoholics is some 50 year old man slumped over in an alley who can't keep a job or marriage. And obviously this isn't true for everyone but this is the picture you get in the media and kinda has been my experience with other alcoholics that I've come in contact with.
