Eating disorders are mental illnesses, defined by the same medical manuals that define everything else (DSM IV). Pro-ana communities are peer support organizations to help each other stay alive until they're ready for recovery. If you isolate and abandon them (like so many others have), then you are only feeding their depression. Now there's compassion. You’re missing the point.

People dont listen they just assume or pretend to listen but dont get it. its nice to have someone who does. not all this groups are entirely about starvation... some do diets and eat healthy but watch their weight or calories ... Normal people can do these diets so why arent they criticized... and people who are obese have just as many, if not more, health issues than someone who is skinny so maybe you should create a page to help them thin down some ... i wouldnt want to be that statistic either.
