suggestion for a possible new child board...?

i wasn't really sure where to post this topic, so i decided to just post it here. (and i don't even know if i'm allowed to make suggestions...)

anyways, i was thinking that maybe we could have a child board for eating disorders under the health forum. it wouldn't be "promoting" or "supporting" eating disorders or anything along those lines (like all those other sites online [which i unfortunately got caught up into in the past]). it'd just be a therapeutic place where we could offer advice to each other in order to assist in our recoveries and such.

although the subject is rather triggering to talk about, a supportive discussion place for eating disorders specifically related to ->-bleeped-<- might help some. personally, i know that my eating disorder is something that really consumes my life (pun unintended), and it is, in fact, directly related to my trans-ness. therefore, my reasoning behind this idea is that i, and most likely others, wouldn't mind talking to people going through the same or similar thing (because i have noticed that many other individuals here are suffering or have suffered from an eating disorder as well).

however, i have no clue what other people think about this suggestion or how much work it'd be creating another board thingy.

i don't know...?

I have a question, are eating disorders considered addictions? I know how hard it's been dealing with my addictions.

yeah, i've thought of that as well. i'm not really sure to be honest, but i suppose in a way they are. i guess it depends on the person.

Other than making the suggestion, are you looking for our help with this? Are you having issues or bad thoughts?

Hugs, Devlyn

no, i've basically got it under control nowadays. just mostly making the suggestion for others, because i'd like to be able to help.

thanks for asking though. :)

Hi Infinity,

I think the Addiction forum covers all forms of addiction including eating disorders.

But thanks for the suggestion.
