"If you are hurting inside, or your life just doesn’t seem
to be working, talking with friends or family members can
sometimes help you feel a little better for a little
while. But even the most well-meaning friend can’t provide
therapy. Therapy is a treatment process that uses
specialized techniques of caring that have been designed
to offer effective, long-lasting help for people suffering
from a wide range of difficulties, such as emotional
distress, anxiety, marital strife, fears, a significant
loss, or a clinical disorder. Therapy can also help
fulfill aspirations for personal growth or
self-improvement..."

Healing Place. "Makayla's Healing Place
advocates for EQUAL RIGHTS for all individuals suffering
from eating disorders. Material found here regarding
pro-anorexia is intended only to inform and enlighten the
general public, to allow equal forum for everyone and to
promote understanding of this very complex issue. Any
information which may be damaging to those battling with
or recovering from eating disorders has been excluded. I
cannot promise that this site will make everyone happy or
that everyone who visits these pages will find them
helpful. It is my intent that everyone who comes here
finds a place to feel comfortable, be themselves and find
their individual path to healing.
Ignoring pro-anorexia is to ignore a large and growing
part of disordered eating. I would not exclude anyone with
an eating disorder of any kind. This does not mean I
support pro-anorexia, it merely means that I understand
it. What I do support is the individual behind the
disorder. Pointing fingers, placing blame, shunning and
bashing are not my ideas of support. We all need support.
My goal is to spread understanding and hope, not only to
sufferers, but also to those who are trying to understand
them. In many ways, this site helps me to understand my
own struggles as well, hence the name..."

- Running
on Empty: A Diary of Anorexia and Recovery.
"When I first began my recovery from anorexia in 2002, I
longed for a resource that would simultaneously give me
hope and let me express my raging torrent of emotions. I
wanted a book that didn't mince words, yet still made me
feel there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I never
quite found what I was looking for, though in my search I
have read every book on eating disorders I could get my
hands on. Into this gap between self-expression and
self-help falls Running on Empty: A Diary of Anorexia and
Recovery. I am here to help lead you out of the hell of an
eating disorder by sharing my own struggles and,
ultimately, my triumphs."
Periodicals
- Steps
Magazine. "Steps magazine is an online
publication for individuals recovering from eating
disorders or body dissatisfaction. The idea behind Steps
is that recovery from an eating disorder is not something
that just ends. The Web site was founded in 2006 to
provide a nurturing environment for self-acceptance and
inspiration and to share the joys of recovery with others
who have suffered or are suffering from body
dissatisfaction and eating disorders of all kinds. Much of
the content covered on the Web site is not directly
related to eating disorder. The goal of the magazine is to
provide content that will enrich people's lives, allow
them to find new things to enjoy—and in turn, enjoy
themselves. Anyone is invited to enjoy our content and
give us feedback!"
