Hi my name is Kaity. I am 18 years old and am a senior in high school. I went to treatment for depression and anxiety for two years and am back now, but having trouble still with eating disorder behaviors. I have been following NEDA and Proud2BMe for a while and recently found out about this forum. I hope to meet you and encourage some of you as we help each other through our journeys.

I'm new too. My name is Amanda, and I am 13. I have been recovering from anorexia for about a year. I found this because today I was really struggling and I needed to find some support. My anxiety is really acting up, and I just need someone who is going through the same things.
I’m also 13. I have atypical anorexia nervosa. I also have anxiety in the form of OCD and ADHD. I’ve been feeling very sad lately. I don’t feel like anyone really gets me. My mom is psychologically abusive to me as well. I often find myself feeling very alone and sullen these days. I just want to feel better.
Hi, I'm Katelin! I'm 16, and in recovery from BED//EDNOS. I'm essentially recovered from BED, but my EDNOS is flaring up right now. Totally here to support everyone here, and sending all of my love always.
Hello everyone,
I am not so new here but I have been more active since I started taking my recovery more seriously. I feel proud of all my accomplishments in this journey and I intend upon to not only share my experiences but to also advocate and educate about prevention and early intervention.
I am new too. I am a blog writer for this forum. Glad to see you all here. I am working on embracing my recovered body.
This is such a wonderful post and news! Keep continuing your recovery and never stop putting up little quotes. I am 6 years into my recovery and still use little quotes! Keep that smile and stay involved with Proud2BMe!
I´m also new to Proud2BMe, struggling with bulimia but finding my own self on the recovery process! I´m much more stronger now and I´ll love to help someone who is having issues with food and self-esteem. keep safe and know that if you need something, you can always come to me! :)

Hi there,
My name is Abbie and I am just recently seeking out help and some stability for my ED's. At the moment, I am trying to find support/advice. Anything to help this terrible illness that has been stalking me most of my life. Are there good books anyone would advise? What has helped you in the past? What helps now?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. My name is Adele. I am in high school and currently in treatment for EDNOS, depression, and anxiety. I heard about this website from a counselor and hope to use it to aid my recovery. :)
Hello Kaity! I'm in a similar situation as you and I'm 19. I hope we can encourage each other and keep going strong because there's no other way to be if we want to be happy and at peace. Recovery is a must and we need all support we can get.
