SOS: Introduction

Hi. I'm Brooke and I'm a sibling of someone who suffers from an eating disorder. My brother suffers from anorexia. Over the past years, I have learned many things about eating disorders. I am writing on Patch because I want to help families through the long and winding road of treatment and recovery.

There are many ups and downs, and I will help them through it. I will give them comfort and support, but most of all, crucial advice. I do not wish an eating disorder on anyone, but for the families of sufferers that already have one, I am here to make things clear.

In my posts, I will cover a range of topics: Finances, treatment plans, family occasions, daily living, and finally, recovery. I want you to know that recovery is possible. It just takes a long time to get there. Of course, throughout all of this, I will share my experiences and what my family has found to be effective.

This blog on Patch is mainly general information for the family. I also have a blog that is targeted specifically towards siblings of eating disorder sufferers if you'd like to hear my perspective and role: siblings-of-ed-sufferers.blogspot.com.

Thank you for reading my blogs. I hope I can help.
