Hello There!
Phoenix22k July 8th
.


I am fortunate to have a wonderful family, a good job (teacher) and good health. I moved from my hometown nearly 10 years ago and never found a solid group of friends, or anyone to confide in during that time. I'm 33 and many of my peers are in different chapters of their life than I.


Furthermore, I struggled for many years with an eating disorder. I would use food to self soothe, binge, and purge. My family is aware and I sought therapy for a time and in that I found that my life is lacking connection / accountability. This... Feels good to just even write as very few people outside my family are aware.


I'm hoping to find more of that here. I have a lot of interests, and overall appreciate and find strength in hearing of everyone's challenges and their victories over them.


Sorry for the long winded and deep stuff... but there it is!


Happy to chat and thanks for reading!

Hi. Hi Phoenix.

Under the flag "community" you'll find groups/people sharing of eating-disorder.

Hey Phoenix!  : ) I see someone else has already mentioned the ED Support group! I'd also recommend Healthy Living: https://www.7cups.com/forum/healthyliving/
