What to Post In This Forum + Meet the Mods Posted: 08-09-07 06:52am
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
If you have any questions, or if you see
something on here which you feel either
breaks the terms of use, or doesn't fit
these guidelines, please contact the forum
moderator (tinkinpink84) or use the
"Report post" button below each post.

I just want to remind everyone of the
rules and guidelines for this forum.
I have noticed alot of people giving bad
advice. This is a health forum, we are
here to support them through the hard
times and try and encourage them towards
recovery. We always prefer people that
come here and are open about the disorder
to seek help from them.
Alot of people suffering from eating
disorders can be triggered to a relapse!
So please please do not post weights or
body measurements on any posts. If someone
wishes to know your "stats" you can share
with each other through PM's. You can PM
someone by clicking on there name which
brings you to there profile and click send
message to send them something privately.
Also do not give out tips to fight hunger.
Ive seen many posts about ways to fight
off the hunger without consuming alot of
calories or an actual meal. These posts
have been reported. We arent here to offer
advice for people to further harm
themselves and there bodies.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP THE PERSON REACHING
OUT TO ASK FOR ADVICE.
If you see a post of someone asking for
tips on how to throw up, or fight hunger
etc., please report that post, you can
find the report post button on the bottom
right of that particular posting and it
will be send to be reviewed and removed if
it is out of the terms of use for this
site.
Thanks
Feel free to PM me with any questions
regarding any of this.

Eating Disorders Are Serious Illnesses

This is a health forum, it is not a forum
to exchange tips on how to make yourself
throw up or starve, we are here to help
each other .
This site is for help, recovering, we
don't condone eating disorders.
They are serious illnesses. I invite you
to read the other sticky "are you or a
loved one suffering" and read all the side
affects because making yourself throw up
just one time can cause your heart to
stop.
In other words, please do not post on here
asking for tips. your post will be removed
and will not be answered on this forum.
You may exchange healthy diet tips on the
dieting forums if you wish, But you will
not get answers there on how to starve or
make yourself throw up either.
