Super grateful for this comment that I received about the post:
"Thank you for shining a light on this, and sharing your experience. I am so sorry to hear that it was so hard to find inclusive resources. We should all have access to that.
I was hospitalized with anorexia over 20 years ago, and have lived with relapses of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. The times I was really sick seemed the most lonely and desperate of my life.
It is so amazing that you’ve dedicated your career to helping people work through what can be such a terrifying and shameful experience, and creating much needed resources. "
That's the main thing I want to say! If you can't at first locate the help you need, don't give up! Maybe you just need to look in the right place. For me, that was a real person in my town, not online, not in a book. Thank you for this comment, it made my morning
"Thanks for sharing your experience with this. I imagine it is even harder to be vulnerable about this when a male. I’m glad you are shining a light on this. My disordered eating is a frequent visitor."

The one lesson I learned about this is, don't be afraid to seek help. Get support for yourself, that may work wonders.

That's very true. I may not have experienced what you went true, but I had something going on back then and your writing really hit me hard.
