Purgatory House

This is the Bay Area Eating Disorder Sufferer's Meetup. Join other Eating Disorder sufferers to discuss self-image and esteem issues, and to offer support and companionship to one another. Big or small this is open to anyone who is suffering from anorexia (ana), bulimia (mia), compulsive over eating (coe) or eating disorder not otherwise specified (ed nos).
We are neither pro nor anti. Come as you are and you will be accepted.
Don't worry this is a discrete group, we won't tell your friends or family, and there will be no big banners or signs!

    "Food's my drug of choice. I've always used it as distraction, secondary gratification, to zone out. This time I gained 40# [never did anything close to that before] to armor myself while up to my eyeballs in a codependent relationship. Do I fit here?"
