With the gaining popularity of on-line interaction comes a website called MyEDHelp.com. This pro-recovery resource is packed with articles, interactive tools, facts, a treatment finder and much more.
The site was created to help the millions of women who struggle with eating disorders, but feel isolated from others. The transition from a safe haven of a treatment center can be difficult, but MyEDHelp assists in keeping the recoverer connected with others who are doing the same.
The philosophy of the founders is a well-balanced and thorough look at all of the daily triggers and issues that impede recovery. Their goal is to help individuals develop a life outside of their eating disorder in order to keep going on the path to recovery.
The articles provided cover everything from coping with relationships and co-dependency, to eating disorder stories and a “personal bill of rights.” By signing up to become a member, visitors have access to the ED Help Network of news, resources and support.
