Pen Pals

Fighting Anorexia is something nobody should have to do alone. Some of us are lucky enough to have the support of family and friends. But no matter how much they want to help, they can never fully understand... Only the people that are fighting (or have fought) the same fight really know what it’s like.
Talking to somebody who is going through the same thing that you are, can be very helpful. It can be encouraging to learn you are not the only one who is feeling this way, to recognize so much and maybe feel less helpless and alone.
So if you want, you can put an add up here, or react to an add of someone you think you might enjoy talking to. I hope this will be the beginning of a group of people who are supporting each other in their fight for recovery.
Please note that this is NOT a way to get more info on how to purge, lose weight, or anything else that is harmful for your recovery. Any pro-anorexic adds will be removed immediately.
I want to emphasize that this is totally anonymous, I have no way of finding out who you are (none that I know of anyway), and you don't even have to give your real name if you don't want to. It's a safe way of talking to somebody who knows how you are feeling, without risking anything. Once again: nobody has to know who you really are, as long as you’re honest about the things that really matter.
Since my guestbook automatically archives messages older than 120 days, your message will not be on here for any more than that time. If you haven't gotten the response you wanted yet, you can always post a new message after about three months.

NOTE: Please do not mention weights here... they can be triggering! I check every message before it goes through, and those that mention weight or size will not be displayed. So don't worry if you can't find your message here immediately after you post it, that just means I still need to look at it!

TIP: If you're afraid somebody will recognize your email address because it has your name in it you can always get a hotmailaddress with a fake name...
