I have been on this site for about a month now, and have finally gained the courage to share my story in a journal.
I just want to say thank you to every single one of you on here. You have truly given me the strength to begin my recovery! Before I was too ashamed to address my eating disorder, however I began therapy a couple weeks ago through encouragement in your loving, caring comments to each other which I read every single day. Although they have never been directed to me, I can literally feel the support and love through my computer. It is SO amazing.
I can not wait to have my life back!
it's awesome to see you're on the right path!!
Thank you! it feels so good...I've found a huge part of it has been creating a voice to challenge the ed that has become so ingrained and loud in my mind... do you know what I mean? I think this is the only time having two battling voices in my head is a good thing, even if it makes me feel crazy at times :)
im so happy you have found that his site has helped you , as it has helped me, along with numerous others! im glad you decided to speak up here....
love

Emily,
