This is a group in which those dealing with eating disorders can connect with each other via snail mail. For those with anorexia, EDNOS, bulimia, or COE, loneliness is often a constant presence. Whether in recovery or not, having a friend who is dealing with the same issues is always a welcome solace. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

We are also a support group - please feel free as a member to post in the board. Here are some general guidelines to follow. Please note, any violation of these rules will result in you being banned from the group. :

1) THIS IS NOT A PRO-ED group. Yes, some of our members are NOT in recovery, but this does not mean you can plaster pro-ana and thinspiration all over the place. No exceptions here, YOU WILL BE BANNED.

2) DO NOT share your postal address. I say this to keep you safe. Use your own discretion when you email people, or when people email you, on who is receiving your postal address.

3) You MUST be 18 or over to join the group. This is also for your own safety.

4) Do NOT harass the members of this group or the moderator. This should be common sense, but there's always dorks that can't play nice.

5) If you could, make sure your email preferences are set to get messages from I, your mod. I update frequently, and that way you get important notices and such.

6) Feel free to post pictures of yourself, your dog, whatever in the Photo Album. Just PLEASE create your own folder and name it after your Yahoo! ID. This saves fellow members (and your mod) from getting a royal headache.

7) This group is also for support! Feel free to use the message boards to chat, just remember to mark your message as triggering if the need arises, like this, in the subject line: **TRIGGER**

8) Go ahead and post links, but ABSOLUTELY NO TRIGGER/PRO-ED sites whatsoever. Don't even think about it, mmkay?
