What to Post/What not to Post in the ED Forum

Welcome to EHEALTHforum's Eating Disorders Forum. Here you can find all of the help and support you need to fight your Eating Disorder, or to help someone you know who may be suffering from one. The members are quite helpful and will gladly answer any of your questions surrounding EDs, from anorexia to Compulsive Over Eating. This is primarily a recovery forum for the support and discussion of Eating Disorders. Although we will not try to force anyone to recover here, recovery should and will be encouraged at all times.


What to Post:

* Any questions you may have surrounding EDs
* Posts asking for support relating to your eating disorder, and how to fight it
* Recovery Tips, ideas that have worked for you, and discussion on inpatient treatment, therapy or other methods of treatment that could help other people.
* Advice on how to eat healthily
* Recovery stories
* Discussions of the negative side-affects of diet pills, laxatives or other weight-loss "medications", along with threads asking for advice on how to stop taking them.

What not to Post:

* Anything glamourising/encouraging Eating Disorders
* Posts asking for advice on how to starve/purge effectively, or any other form of tipsharing
* Posts describing techniques used during active purging or binging
* Threads asking for advice on where to purcahse diet pills/laxatives, mentioning of brand name pills or discussion of which are the best ones to use
* Anything from, or links to "Pro-ED" sites, triggering links or "thinspiration" of any form
* Pro anorexic websites or websites promoting eating disorders or containing pictures of ultra skinny models.
* Dieting or exercise tips
* Although you may discuss other forms of self-harm, posts specifically asking for help about non-ED subjects would be better suited to their respective forums.
* Stats such as height, weight, waist size and so on. These can trigger some girls in recovery or trigger those already struggling, no posting of pictures of yourself if anorexic or bulimic or any other eating disorder these may also trigger some people.
* Other ED triggers
