Hello everybody. And welcome to my blog. There are millions of blogs out there. Many of them concern eating disorders and people discuss their successes and failures encountered in the long battles that treatments become. I think I have identified a space in the market: there seem to be no such blogs aimed at anorexic boys or young men. Not only is there not much known about the disorder, but anorexia is in most cases taken to be a female illness. In worst cases, the very essence of the disorder is misunderstood and people assume, that the affected person simply isn't hungry. They assume a physical causation of anorexia nervosa. While it is true that many of the psychological symptoms (depression, distorted self-image) are partially caused by the extremely low weight and malnutrition, the disorder is rooted deeply within the mind and it is there where the true healing process must be applied (of course hand in hand with healthy weight restoration).

I have wanted to create a blog for a long time now. Now I finally have the courage to stand up and shout and yell and scream at the world. I can do it anonymously. But at the same time, I can have some assurance, that like-minded people will get my message. Can I? Will anyone read my messages? Will I actually be able to help anyone? These questions could be understood as an analogy to the famous philosophical inquiry: "Is there intelligent life within the universe, other than humans?". The fact that the universe is, in our terms, infinite makes it very likely that there may be not one, but many more civilizations. Equally I believe, that there are people seeking help, who will respond to my messages however distant we may be in the hysical world. For above the physical world is the much more efficient abstract world. World of virtual relations. It is like a temporary heaven. A place, where one can experience eternity. A place, I hope, that can offer you the knowledge that you are NOT ALONE in your struggle! I HEREBY DECLARE WAR ON EATING DISORDERS! They are the presence of the evil in the world, where love diminishes.
