My daughter was diagnosed with ED NOS, 6 months ago. She has been in outpatient treatment and day treatment. i am feeling so helpless and i dont know who to talk to about my feelings. i am so tired of being understanding and worrying constantly about my daughter and her well being. i wonder if she will ever be able to beat ED and if she cant what does that mean.
i need to talk to some parents that are feeling like me so i dont feel so alone and i can get some support

Hi there, well, I think we have been lucky that our battle is easing up now, our daughter too was diagnosed first with EDNOS in Aug. but by the time we had the appt. at the clinic, we were told it was indeed anorexia nervosa, she had by then lost 15 % of her body weight and lost her period for 3 months. We were so fearful of going forward and helping in her recovery.....but it is getting better. I am happy to have another parent to talk with as well. no one really understands what it is like to help a child with and eating disorder if they havent been there. you can email me as well.

Good Evening
I am very happy to have found this site, as my daughter has been suffering with ED for years, and I feel that we will find the support that we are seeking. I am not sure of how to introduce the idea of going to a support group to start..any suggestions from those of you who have been thru simalar situations.
