Books tried but given up on:
How to recover from Anorexia and other eating disorders by Melinda Hutchings
Getting better bit(e) by bit(e) by Ulrike Schmidt & Janet Treasure
Conquering Anorexia by Clare lindsay
I buy most of the books on Amazon, often second-hand. The literature books in particular can be very expensive, so I search libraries for them when I can.
About Me
- Alba
- Durham, County Durham, United Kingdom
- (November 2010) > I am taking a year (or two) out of university to recover from an eating disorder; originally diagnosed as restricting anorexia 7 years ago, but has more recently morphed into BN non-purgeing type/ BED/ COE/ EDNOS / whatever you want to call it. I thought I would write a blog to give me a kind of project to work on, mainly giving an insight into the Eating Disorders books that I have read and any interesting articles/videos I find. However, there may be some updates on my life and thoughts once in a while. My quest is to understand these disorders, although I know the best I can do is to keep on researching xxx Update (2012): I have now returned to uni.
