I think EmpowHer promises things they can't deliver. This is Sue and I received the following reply from Alison:
Sue,
I'm happy to hear back from you, and I know you and many other women are struggling and suffering. I am so sorry that you are struggling---I wish it did not have to be this way--but you can gain strength knowing that there are many resources that can be helpful in your journey to recovery:
1. EmpowHER discussion threads, online forums and Connect with other women:
https://www.empowher.com/condition/anorexia-nervosa/connect
2. ANAD Support Groups: http://www.anad.org/getHelp/findsupportgroup/
3. NEDA Support Groups & Treatment Options: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/get-help-today/
Tina, my supervisor, will also "talk" with you soon, and re-iterate the information I have provided. EmpowHER is working on creating more structured support groups, and in the meantime, I hope you can find the discussion forums and Connect With Other Women options helpful, in combination with finding a more formal/structured support group in your area (or online). There are many great resources already in place for you to utilize, based on your needs in this moment.
Take care,
Alison
Sue here again. What do ya'll want to do? Clearly, many of us need help urgently. Do we want to try to support each other more here on the discussion thread, or take our business elsewhere, as Alison has suggested?
