has anyone every struggled with getting involved in the pro ana / pro mia community online? I’m totally sucked in now after my trauma trigger.

The description of this idea that I found looks completely delusional and is incredibly disturbing in the way it refers to people who are struggling with EDs as "victims" and those who do not choose to seek help as "elite." Sorry, but I'm not going to support this. Everyone has a right to live as they see fit, eating disorder or otherwise, but this is wrong to me.

I had to google what this was and I am sorry you happened to get sucked into them. I hope you will be able to break away from those sites and keep coming here instead. This forum will support your recovery which is 100% possible with the help of a good therapist, commitment and hard work on your part. It will involve healing your traumatic past and moving towards 100% freedom from trauma triggers and the ED.

ED's are not a life style choice. They are a coping mechanism just as alcoholism and drug use is. You can heal and you deserve to heal. Please don't make the ED something you cherish.
