Through the Looking Glass is an eating disorder support guild. It is a place where people who are anorexic, bulimic, ED-NOS, and whatnot to talk, share suggestions, advice, and support. It is not the place to come to 'get' an eating disorder. If you want to lose weight, go on a healthy diet; get moderate exercise; see a dietician or nutritionist if needed. Eating disorders are not fads, or diets, or the new cool thing to do. They are not a joke: anorexia is, in fact, statistically speaking, the most deadly mental disorder. If I suspect you are joining to 'get' an eating disorder, you will no be accepted.
That being said, almost anyone else is welcome to join. If you have an eating disorder, are in recovery for one, or just want to learn about them, we're happy to have you so long as you follow the rules. If you are in recovery, be aware that the content within may be triggering.
If you are accepted, please read the Announcements and Stickies within, most importantly the Rules and Disclaimer. For the privacy of our members this is a hidden guild, so you won't actually be able to read this until after you are accepted -- if for some reason you feel the guild is not right for you, feel free to ask to be removed.
There is an application I'd like you to fill out, to get a sense of who's joining and stuff (with my comments XD):

Eating Disorder: Ok, um, one of my biggest pet peeves is people who improperly self-diagnose. There's nothing wrong with not being clinically anorexic (hell, I'm not) but don't claim to be something you're not. Diagnostic Criteria If you dont have an ED, that's cool, just say why you wanna join below.
How long have you had an ED for? If applicable
Why would you like to join?
