Hi,
i am a journalist, and am also currently the primary carer for my boyfriend who has been suffering with an eating disorder for the last 3 years, and this has prompted me to write an article about eating disorders, especially focusing on male eating disorders and the difficulty in accessing treatment and lack of public awareness. I am looking for people of either sex who would be willing to answer a few confidential questions via email. If you would be willing to do this, please email me .Thanks a lot.
