I totally think we were meant to find it! I know that I found it through Google, but can't remember exactly what I was looking for, like whether it was online support or not...

That said, I love my DS friends dearly and I truly believe that this site (and the people on it) have helped me more than I can say. I think back to a certain ipecac incident when Lapetitemoi more or less saved my life.

I found this place because i wanted help to stop Bingeing and purging but I wanted to go back to eating less then 200 cals aday. Luckily coming on here has made me want to have a healthy diet and not B/P. So i'm so glad i found D :D

DS saved my ass big-style. I came across this site whilst searching for qute the opposite sort of "help" - I pretty hysterical as I remember, and felt I needed help with purging in order to make myself feel 'clean' again. I was cruising towards experimentation with ipecac and diet pills (online shopping is BAD), but DS is/was one of the sponsored links on google, and I hopped on this wagon instead. It stopped me trying to kill my body and my soul with food or lack thereof.

I was googleing free support groups and there it was.

i was looking up information about my sons asthma....who knew that i would find a support group for me.....???

I was trying to find a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. What I really needed was inpatient. Saw other people walking through their fears and going to treatment and that gave me the strength to do it myself. Thanks all! XO

wow...sounds like this site has touched so many....i know that it holds a special place in my heart...and this is because of all of u wonderful people! i am so grateful that u all stumbled upon this site as well...and i am happy to hear that it deterred some of my friends on here from dying or harming themselves permanently...for that i think we can all be truely grateful

I think I used Google. Now I recommend this site to all my members on my website and forum. Also when I answer questions on another website that I am an advisor with, I throw this link in and say how wonder DS is.

this is quite possibley the best mistake i ever made! lol...im so happy to have found this site and everyone on it! i have recommended it to all of my friends that i made at the last treatment center i was in! i just hope that they take the time to join...and if they do im sure that they will fall in love with it just like i have!
