Ok so I deleted pretty much all of the posts I've made in this thread because this thread is supposed to be helping people to heal and the negativity isnt helping anything. What was there was not healing for anyone, not me or anyone coming here to heal.

The reason I think that this thread became negative and for me overwhelming is a mixture of things. I don't think this forum is really the right place for a thread about the kind of discussion that began here, i think if anyone with an ED who wants spiritual help and support and wants to talk about it, then i think thats great, but thats not what it became.

It didnt help that I have not actually been diagnosed with an ED, am not trying to recover from one I might or might not have and was also the only current "sufferer" who participated in the thread. Nor that there was a lot of misconception amongst the non-sufferers about EDs and a lack of understanding of the nature of EDs as serious psychiatric diseases.

So, let's get this thread back on track?
