Moods as a Mentor | Mentoring and Recovery

blogs.psychcentral.com — “I have discovered many things in my post-recovered years (that is, in the years since my dependence on my eating disordered thoughts and behaviors subsided for a sustained period of time).

When a Mentor is Not Enough | Mentoring and Recovery

I didn't have access to insurance for treatment. I didn't know anyone else who had an eating disorder - recovered or otherwise.
