Fuck Eating Disorders

r/fuckeatingdisorders

Eating disorders have many misconceptions, in part due to sufferers hiding their illness from loved ones who don’t understand, perpetuating the cycle of silence. FED is here to confront eating disorders and provide a place for anyone to ask questions.

Some notes:

Anyone is welcome as long as they are here to foster a supportive environment. We are not a sub that is for coddling, but we are a pro-recovery subreddit (but if you are in early recovery, you may want to leave as open discussion may trigger a relapse). If you would like to voice an objection or criticism, you are free to do so, as long as it follows the rules found in the About Section of the sub.

We are here to deal with EDs. This is not a pro-ED sub. You will be banned for posting pro-ED bullshit. Take that somewhere else.

The sub is now self-post only; if you have something you'd like to link you may certainly do so, but please do it as a text post, and include some description or review or your thoughts along with the link itself. Do not post a link without any other context
