But its a mixed bag, to be sure. Use with caution.
No. Those sites are not helpful to anyone wanting to recover. You get curious. You go the wrong places. They are not a single bit helpful, IMO. I'd just put myself into competition with every post up under anorexia even if it was a fake. That's what I did when I tried eating disorder group therapy. Those sites are a hindrance, even if you can "be real" there. And they encourage young girls into a life of hell.
