Roll Call - Who's Here - Who Needs Support?
I see that there are a lot of members in our community. I'm wondering who all is currently here and wanting support but hasn't posted yet, or hasn't posted in a long time? I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to help support you and invite you to make this a more supportive community as well. Perhaps you'd be willing to introduce yourself? I put a couple questions to help get this started.
What prompted you to join the Eating Disorders Subcommunity?
How can we support you here?
What topics would you like to see discussed here in the forum?
What would you like us to know about you?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and the opportunity to support you.
I'll start the introductions. I'm Kristen and I've been involved here at 7 Cups since 2014 and returned recently from a break. I struggled with ED for many years and moved through a few different ones from my teens. Thankfully, this is not controlling my life any longer and I hope to be able to support you here in the forum if you'll allow that. Also, I love writing, and I have a cat who likes to help me write. I love the forums, and this is where I will be found most often.
**Edited in 7.30.23 - I just became a Forum Supporter for our Eating Disorder Community. I'd love to get to know you!**
Here is a reminder of the Eating Disorder Subcommunity additional guidelines.
- Refrain from mentioning specific weights or calorie counts to avoid triggering others.
- Remember this is a support community - we should all be supportive of each other’s stories and struggles.
- Everyone’s struggles are different; please avoid encouraging anyone to lose or gain weight.
- Avoid overly graphic content and mark potentially sensitive posts with a ‘Trigger Warning’ at the top line of the post.
- Pro-eating disorder content will not be tolerated.
