When you have an ED or love someone who does, you can end up feeling really alone. Because the disorder overtakes your life - it consumes your thoughts, your actions and every waking moment - you end up feeling like there is no way out. Lost. Alone. With nowhere to turn. With nowhere to go. It's such an isolating feeling.

Why I built this site

This site has been many years in the making. As a woman who suffered from bulimia and maintained an anorexic weight for many years, and then as a therapist treating EDs, I have, naturally, visited many eating disorder sites on the web. I found it difficult to find one good, comprehensive, easy-to-use-and-navigate site that gave me everything I was looking for. And that is really frustrating when you are desperate for information!

The goal

My goal with this site is to provide the information I believe you want and need - whether you have anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive overeating or one of the other EDNOS. If you are the parent of someone with an ED or your loved one has one, you will find information specifically for you. Therapists can also find great information either for their own education or to point clients to supplemental information during the course of treatment.

Do you need information on EDs?

As this site grows, you will find information on all the different types of EDs. You will find information on causes and symptoms, what to do if you think you or a loved one has an ED, treatment for EDs, eating disorder forums and more. Please come back often if you have stumbled on this site while in its infancy.

It will get better

EDs consume lives. And not just the life of the person with the ED - it will consume the lives of everyone who is close and who cares. But EDs don't have to destroy lives. There is hope. With good information, a lot of courage and a lot of support, you will all survive ... I did!

Remember:
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." When you recover from eating disorders, you do, indeed, come out stronger!!
