MDJunction to me

saralaurie"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Hi everyone, I was just reading that a new reality TV show called Starving Secrets (hosted by Tracey Gold, who suffered and recovered from AN) just premiered. I didn't watch and probably won't be. Not saying anything against the show, I am just so scared of triggers (seeing someone thinner, thinking "I need to be that way"), even though the whole point is that I don't need to be that way! How do you guys feel about AN in the media? Do you avoid it in articles and tv shows on the topic? Do you find media attention on it is actually helpful? Curious to hear your thoughtsWink

It doesn't sound idiotic at all. I also think you are exactly right to avoid certain media that could act as triggers. Hugs to you.
