Support groups have no structure or recovery focus. Minimal support for people with Bing Eating Disorder. They also discriminate against male members. Plenty of better options for recovery support than this place.
I’ve emailed a few times, called, and left a message with the desk attendant. I received one email reply asking for a quick chat, which I replied to, and then heard nothing back. Seems like a great resource, but my asking for help fell through the cracks. It took a lot to reach out, so it was disappointing to not really hear anything back.
Incredible free resource for anyone impacted by an eating disorder, including friends and family, ran by an incredible group of people!
I love EDF, it’s such a fantastic group of individuals and a wonderful recovery community to be a part of. I could not recommend an organization more!!
"Every 62 minutes at least one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder." It seems like I could be the next person with how little care is shown. I called at 7:30 on Wednesday, August 22nd, and was greeted only after getting hung up on. I had the chance to say "hello", and apparently that's all they wanted to hear. CLICK. I've never reached out for help and immediately and so directly been denied and disrespected. I called back multiple times and ironically received no answer. I can't believe what just happened.
A safe,loving place!
