In: Anxiety|Body Image|Charlynn|Eating Disorders|General|Holidays|Mental Health
27 Dec 2008As far as food is concerned, my thoughts about the final food-fest of the year are, “Why did I do that?” I know all about these tips and have read them every year for the last three years so I will handle the holidays in a healthier fashion than my starve/purge default. This year was [...]

In: Anxiety|Charlynn|Eating Disorders|General|Latest Research Findings|Recovery|Therapy|Treatment
11 Oct 2008Amanda-Jane Hazelwood, a nurse in England, recently released a study about the effectiveness of using text messaging as a form of therapy. She has been using the technology in this context for the last three years and says that text messaging is beneficial. Her patients agree that the technology is useful in many ways. Perhaps [...]
I’m such a copycat, a.k.a., let’s talk about antidepressants!

21 Jul 2008I was just about to post a reply to Rachel’s thread about antidepressants on her blog, The F Word, when I realized that my reply was going to be a post in and of itself. Why not put it here instead? So I’m stealing her topic. Because eating disorders occur so frequently with conditions like [...]
Anxiety, depression and eating disorders: they all feed off one another
In: Anorexia|Anxiety|Charlynn|Depression|Eating Disorders|Latest Research Findings|Mental Health|Relapse
30 Nov 2007In my latest struggle against a relapse this month, I have noticed a tremendous change in my anxiety and depression levels: they’re through the roof. Before this all started happening, both were at manageable levels. But now I feel completely overwhelmed, and that is definitely not helping me resist the eating disorder. Several studies have [...]

I didn’t fully match the label they wanted
In: Anorexia|Charlynn|ED-NOS|Eating Disorders|Recovery|Therapy|Treatment
16 Oct 2007One of the most pivotal moments in my eating disorder happened when I sought treatment in December 2003. It was the first time I actually believed I would die from my illness and knew I needed full-time professional help. I needed inpatient treatment. It should have been a turning point for the better. Instead, my [...]
About this blog
This is a blog where a roster of three regular writers and several guest writers comment on the latest news about eating disorders. It isn’t just a news feed, nor a personal journal – it’s a hybrid of both. We discuss the news with our own personal spin.
We aren’t journalists or outsiders looking in. We have eating disorders. We know about this illness because we live it. Some of us are thoroughly active in our eating disorders while some are in recovery. Most are in some state in between.
Nothing is off-limits in terms of coverage. We write about everything from the onset of eating disorders to the long-term consequences thereof. We write about all eating disorders, not just anorexia and bulimia. And we write media reviews, short stories, and whatever comes to mind in relation to current events.
This does mean, however, that we may bring up some sensitive topics — things like abuse, rape, self-injury, etc., so tread carefully. We’ll tag posts with the appropriate warning label whenever possible.
Readers are encouraged to comment and participate in the discussion. Just click on the “comments” link under any entry.
