With Me When 2.1

Eating disorder recovery is a continuous and challenging process that requires consistent support. The app With Me When has been developed specifically to assist individuals in finding inspiration, education, and encouragement throughout their recovery journey. Designed by a team of clinicians specializing in various eating disorders—including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, OSFED, and ARFID—the app also incorporates insights from those with personal experiences related to eating disorders. While With Me When serves as a valuable companion to formal treatment, it can also provide resources for anyone facing food or body-related challenges.

The app offers an array of features aimed at supporting users in maintaining their recovery, including:

• Goals setting: Users can establish daily goals and outline the steps necessary to achieve them. This feature allows for regular check-ins and self-assessment of progress.
• Food log: The food logging function enables users to record meals and snacks conveniently, whether by utilizing a meal planning option or entering items as free text. Additionally, users can upload photos of their food to facilitate visual tracking of eating habits.
• Feelings log: This feature allows for the expression of emotions during meals and snacks or at any other time. Users can select from predefined feelings or enter personalized notes.
• Behavior log: A customizable log helps users monitor the occurrence of eating disorder behaviors, allowing for focused discussions with treatment providers on any emerging concerns.
• Skills toolkit: Users can explore and save effective coping strategies across categories such as Coping, Distractions, Learning, and Inspiration.
• Mindfulness exercises: The app includes a built-in breathing meditation tool designed for moments requiring relaxation and reflection.

The versatility of With Me When is enhanced by its customizable logs and the ability to “favorite” specific skills, allowing users to personalize their experience. For clients of the Emily Program, the app also facilitates the completion of client paperwork and appointment reminders directly through the platform.

With Me When provides an opportunity for individuals to actively engage with their recovery process in a supportive environment.
