@Sammie1997
That's epic!! Let us know how it goes if you do and good luck 
Hello !
First of all, I'm really happy that this discussion took place, I think it helped me, and hopefully, other people here, to better understand eating disorders. Also, it was very enriching to see other's answers to the threads, to see how they conceived EDs and their solutions!
My answer to your last question would be like a feedback then, and I only wonder how, as an individual without any work in social/medical/academic fields, I can bring awareness to everyday people.
Thanks again for having us!
@brightLight35
Awareness is super duper important You can definitely be a stigma warrior 
I believe in you!!
@brightLight35
i'm really happy to hear that this discussion helped you! like emily said, awareness is so important but unfortunately it's going to take time to change the perspectives of many people, who still have some false perceptions of anorexia. i'm not sure how active your community is where you live but maybe you could join some campaigns, write an article, small things like that? i'm sure you'll figure something out, but until then just hang in there, you can overcome this!
The two of you did a WONDERFUL job with this discussion and I really enjoyed participating and reading other's comments. Way to go!
@Hysterria
