Thanks for visiting my Project HEAL fundraising page!
As a Project HEAL Ambassador, I am committed to breaking down systemic, insurance, and financial barriers to eating disorder treatment. My goal is to raise awareness and funds for Project HEAL within my community, advancing the organization's ability to help more people access the treatment they need.
Please consider donating to my personal fundraiser today as we work to create equitable access to treatment for every person with an eating disorder.
My story:
At age 21, I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, which eventually developed into bulimia nervosa and exercise bulimia. My fixation on fitness and health had insidiously crossed the line into dangerous behaviors, but the thought of recovery—which to me meant letting go of control—was terrifying.
By sitting myself in front of an open notebook, pen in hand, I have written my way through my recovery, finding the ability to put into words the thoughts and feelings that I wasn’t able to articulate in sessions with my treatment team of professionals.
Through writing, I was able to be unabashedly honest, free of self-consciously stumbling over my words, and free to express myself when my mind and my mouth couldn’t quite connect.
I’ve created Recovery Writes to encourage others who are struggling with food and body image to find hope and solace on the page, and to feel less alone while embroiled in the isolation that is an eating disorder. To learn more, visit www.recoverywrites.com.
