Whether a person suffers from bingeing, purging, starving, overexercising, anorexia, obesity etc it all comes under Eating Disorders. No-one should feel ashamed about any of these as it is a form of coping with mental issues.

Having said that all of these issues have their own peculiarities. I have been in a mental clinic for the past year and the help was mainly directed to those that had anorexia. It was so helpful when I could identify with certain aspects of this disease in others.

I think having sub forums under an eating disorder would be a wonderful thing. Please can we have more scope to talk about our problems with eating disorders?
