We want to take the time to thank the individuals who have followed the campaign. It has been an incredible journey learning and growing with you. The most rewarding portion of this undertaking is the creation of an environment in which individuals feel comfortable sharing their personal struggle with eating disorders to complete strangers.
Our wish for this campaign above all else is to inspire and normalize the idea of seeking help, and reminding people that they are not alone. In many NEDIC resources there exists a common theme under the topic of treatment, and it is the idea that the only mistake you can make in life is NOT asking for help. All healing will take time, and asking for help is the first courageous step that must be taken to facilitate this process.
We encourage all those who live with eating disorders to lean on their closest confidants for love and support, as you navigate the process of recovery.
In addition, we call on all people to continue the process of eating disorder education. Learning is a lifelong pursuit, and if we are sensitive to those around us we may just be able to recognize the signs of a problem and offer a helping hand. Let us reflect and celebrate what we have accomplished thus far, and promise to continue challenging the stigma which surrounds eating disorders in the future.
