Hi,
I have meant to go to a ED support group but I have skipped out on it the past two times it has met because I'm just nervous. I have no clue what to expect or if I'll be accepted and I'm worried I'll be the biggest one there and they will all just judge me and think I don't have what they have.... bah.

What can I expect?

Thanks :)

    It's not like that. Everyone is in their own head, I mean, they are all obsessing about their own stuff. In the group though someone will smile and you will smile back :) that's all it's about, being with other people that "get it." You should just suck it up and try it. If you don't like it, you don't have to go back! Good luck to you!

    I think EVERYONE is afraid of the same thing. I don't know if this is a group for all kinds of ED but if it is then you'll probably see all sizes. Someone will obviously be the biggest but you are there to help each other and share your experiences, so I don't think anyone will judge you. Two anorexics or two bulimics will never be the same and they will experience different things, but despite this you will find that you will be able to relate to people there.

    I've never been a part of such a group so I'm not sure what you will do and talk about. But I think you should expect to be listened to and not judged! I hope you get the courage to go :)
