There's no
shame in falling victim to an eating disorder. Anorexia and bulimia are
diseases, and like all diseases they exist outside the volitional control of
the individuals whom they afflict. In other words, if you're sick and in need
of bulimia or anorexia recovery, it's not
your fault. But the corollary is even more important: If you're going to get
better, it's going to be because you get professional help.
No eating
disorder victim should expect to achieve meaningful recovery outside of a
private eating disorder treating facility. Again, anorexia and bulimia are
diseases, and like all diseases they can't be eradicated without competent
medical care. A cancer victim would never try to beat cancer without the help
of an oncologist. The same logic applies to eating disorder victims and eating
disorder treatment specialists. Even body image disorders should be
treated in the same light. Given the stakes, you simply can't afford to learn
that lesson the hard way.
