Self Help Advice & Websites for Eating Disorders
Join Online Support Groups for Depression, Anxiety & Mental Health
Feb 19, 2007
With the gaining popularity of online support groups and creating an online community comes a website called MyEDHelp.com. This pro-recovery website offers self help advice and is packed with articles, interactive tools, facts, an eating disorder treatment finder and help with issues like depression, anxiety and mental health.
The website was created to help the millions of women who struggle with eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, but feel isolated from others. The transition from a safe haven of a treatment center can be difficult, but MyEDHelp assists in keeping those recovering connected with others who are doing the same by creating an online support group.
The philosophy of the founders is a well-balanced and thorough look at all of the daily triggers and issues that impede eating disorder recovery. Their goal is to help individuals develop a life outside of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating in order to keep going on the path to recovery.
The articles provided cover everything from coping with depression, anxiety and mental health, 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 with self help advice.
Online Website Membership includes:
- meeting others who are in recovery
- participating in chat rooms
- creating your own personal blogs
- getting the inside scoop on the latest happenings
- becoming a contributor to the site
- gaining access to educational materials and tools to enhance self-esteem, assertiveness and communication
Setting the goal to have 2500 members by 2008, MyEDHelp is teaming up with TeamBraeden to raise funds for those who need treatment. They’re also committed to donating part of their proceeds to individuals who are in recovery.
Spread the word, share your story and be involved in recovery!
