Hey lovely people. so it's nearly eating disorders awareness week (EDAW), and I want to be doing some posts on my blog about different eating disorders, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to write something about their eating disorder? Either anonymously or not, I don't mind. it'd be great if someone could share about their experiences of any one of the following: - Anorexia - Bulimia - Binge Eating Disorder - EDNOS.
the king of thing I'm hoping for is just a little about what it was like, how it made you feel or affected you and those around you, what support did you get or are getting, what things do you want people to know about the disorder.
if you can help me, let me know!
also, will be selling sock monkeys for EDAW, if anyone wants one let me know all donations go to Eating disorders charities, eg. beat.
anyone else doing anything for EDAW?

Hey lovely people. I've had one volunteer so far, they know who they are, woohoo for you, *hugs person* I still need a volunteer for anorexia, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. I'm totally happy to send you questions, for as little or as much detail as possible, but PLEASE, LETS BEAT DOWN THIS STIGMA THIS EDAW!
Private message me or reply on here, happy to big up your blog if you want or do it totally anonymously if you prefer, or anywhere inbetween!

When would you want it for? I'd be willing to do one on BED if it can be anonymous? Xx

You know what, I've changed my mind and you can attach my name to what I wrote And I'll take that hug now! I also just noticed the bit of your post about sock monkeys! Do you have more details on this?! Michaela, EDAW is from the 24th Feb - 2nd March so I think Lizzi would want it around then.

Hey! Michaela, I would need it by Friday, as that's when I plan to have my posts finished. Yes of course it can be anonymous, would you like me to send you the questions on a private message?
Ok Helen, shall I just right "my friend Helen", or would you like me to write something different? -hugs- for you!
Basically I'm making sock monkeys, because beat's slogan is "sock it to eating disorders", and then I'm going to put photos up of them on my blog for people to buy, all donations going to beat, as the leading and most active eating disorder charity. If you have a specific colour or type of socks you'd like it to make it out of you can let me know and I'll do my best! Hope that helps! Obviously they're all unique and not completely perfect sock monkeys, because they're hand made, but none of us are perfect either!

My friend Helen sounds good to me! You could always mention that I'm on the MiLO boards. Awww, that's adorable!! Definitely put up a link for that. The little imperfections are what made handmade things unique My work generally has at least a little lopsidedness to it!

Could you send me the questions Ellie? Then will see if I can answer them, as I don't want to trigger myself, but do want to try to answer them for you.
OO the sock monkey idea is awesome. I look forward to seeing pictures of them.

It gives me some anxiety, but if i have time between uni work and designing my tattoo, I could do something on anorexia for you. What is it you are looking for? look me up on facebook and PM me, I find the forum format pretty confusing lol XD
