i don't blame you.
ned is my name for my nasty little eating disorder.
i was diagnosed about two and half years ago with non-purging bulimia, after struggling with little or no help for two years.
so now its been close to five years and i finally feel like the story of ned is...well, it's not ending so much as, just becoming less important.
i made the decision to speak openly about my eating disorder because one of the reasons it was so difficult to find someone to help me was that so little is known (even among medical professionals) regarding eating disorders.
if you think you might be dealing with your own ned, i can't emphasize the importance of seeking help. and i'm not talking about your general practitioner or even a run-of-the-mill therapist. look for someone who specializes in this field.
with any questions or comments, don't hesitate to email me: fee.meg@gmail.com
so here's the story from the beginning:

I cannot even begin to tell you how much your posts on Ned are helping me. I can identify with so much of what you talked about in your posts. It gives me great comfort to know that I am not alone. I felt alone for so long because I didn't have full fledged anorexia and I was never bulimic. So much of what you write resonates with me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait to read more of your archives.
