One Life
Thank you for visiting One Life. This web site has been started as a place for girls/women who have struggled or are currently struggling with eating disorders and self harm. One Life invites you to come, share with each other, receive encouragement and most of all, gain Hope.
When I was struggling with my own eating disorder I searched online for something that would help and for someone to talk to, but I couldn't find it. All I found were definitions and information on eating disorders, things that I already knew because I was living with it.
This web site has been developed to discuss and talk through the emotional part and mental strong holds of eating disorders and self harm. I want you to know that you do not have to live with these disorders for the rest of your life. You can stop and need to stop. It's not an easy thing to do but it is possible. There is Hope.
In addition to the support of friends and family, and web pages such as this, please seek medical attention. Speak to your physician open and honestly. There are treatments that can help. and it is perfectly all right to seek this help. Some of you who have just been in the disorders a short while, may feel you are able to pull yourselves out of this solely with the support of family and friends and by your own determination and decision to stop. Please, continue by all means. But in addition, please seek counseling. Search the site for help. Lurk the message board and absorb the advice.
Most of all, just keep reading and keep pressing on.
Thank you,
Jess
