Our Friends,
Feb. 27-March 5 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
According to ANAD you can become "cured" of ED. I find it sad that
NEDA and ANAD can't work together (NEDA's part, not ANAD's) to help
those who are struggling with ED. You DO NOT have to die from ED!
Help/Treatment is not that easily to obtain because treatment centers
costs $30,000 and up and that's not even including outpt. therapy
once you have completed inpt. treatment. What about males, those who
have chronic pain, and other diseases ands need help with ED?
No help for people with ED and chronic pain, etc.

It's true that NEDA won't work together with ANAD and that NEDA
doesn't believe that people can become "cured" of their EDs. There
should be NO fighting when it comes to this serious health diseases,
and the same reigns true for all of those organizations for Chronic
Pain, Endometriosis, etc. All this fighting makes those of us who
really want to make a positive difference and change look
incompetent. Thus, we are not taken seriously.
Any questions, comments, etc., please let us know.
Thank you and take care of yourselves and each other.
