What Do You Need?

[ratherastory]

This is a non-fandom post. I stole it from a friend of mine in a different place, because I think this is where the power of fandom can be harnessed for good. I've been feeling a little out of place and useless in the world lately, and this seems like a good way to get rid of that feeling

I found this after doing a search for 'online support groups for eating disorders'. It has an excellent ranking with my 'Web of Trust' plug-in (which indicates trustworthy sites) and according to the home page forums are always open. It seems very friendly and positive. I hope it might help:

And bless you for taking care of yourself, by the way. I don't know you, but I know how much courage it takes to not only recognize that what you're doing is harmful, but to make the effort to change it.

I'm sorry that you even need someone to tell you you're not a bad person! Art is hard, as much because of the subjectivity as the required skills. I think it's damn impressive that you tried it at all. It also sounds like you have a lot of other stress going on in your life as well, so it's not surprising that something had to give.

And as I would tell my son, failing is never something to be ashamed of, as long as you tried. No one can succeed at everything. What's important is that you made the attempt.
