I have produced these pages as a spinoff project from a book that I am writing about eating disorders in general and anorexia nervosa in particular. Anorexia is a much-misunderstood condition, and my aim is eventually to provide a proper explanation of its causes, some medical information, my personal story, and a links and resources section.
I used to write under the pseudonym Julie A, which I originally adopted when I joined the alt.support.eating-disord newsgroup in order to conceal my identity from people at work. I no longer worry about my real identity being known, but the email address has stuck!
Feedback and comments are always appreciated. My email address is:
Julie_A@dawnmist.demon.co.uk
Since my story appeared in magazines around the world, I have received
many hundreds of emails. Unfortunately, with my poor health, I can't manage to reply to
all of them. So, to all who have written, my thanks for all the appreciation and
good wishes, and to all those who are struggling with eating disorders of their own,
my sincerest wishes of strength and recovery. Never give up the fight!
My Pages have now been incorporated in the EDSHED Website. EDSHED (Exeter
District Self Help for Eating Disorders) is a new support group that I have set up with
some colleagues... find out about it here!
