media coverage...

I think I heard a reference to this web sight on my local news last night.

 

The story had to do with a young woman that has "body dismorphic disease" who would feel that she is extremely ugly, even tho she really isn't. It is similar to anorexia, but the perception is of another part of the body rather than the amount of fat or over all size of the body.

 

At the end of the story, when they did the conclusion, they said that the lady uses a websight to make her feel "less alone," and that the websight has really helped her to feel like she isn't the only one facing this sort of adversity.

 

It just sounded familiar. Anyone else have that kind of thing happen?

Wow, thats really interesting, im glad to hear that the site helps so many people.

 

Maybe someday there will be an "enotalone" star on hollywood blvd!

ha!!

 

I just thought it was sort of cool, when they started to mention the stuff that we say to each other here....That the girl didn't have to suffer in silence that she didn't feel so alone, it could be some other website, but it sounds like the kind of stuff that we cover here.

 

By the way it was in Sacramento, that I heard this news report.

HahA! that is really cool... it makes you feel good to know that you *may* have helped someone enough for them to announce it on the news!

Thats amazing.Its an inexplainable feeling to think that you may have helped someone in that way.

The really weird part is that I feel that we all "touch" each other in that same way. It is an inexplicable feeling of goodness to come here everyday, see what people are doing and tell them little stories or ideas that make them feel better. Maybe that girl is reading this, or someone who just stumbled accross the websight is reading this, it really boggles the imagination to think how many people are reading the things that we write on here.

Sister thanks for writing this. You are so right.. we never know how many people do benefit from what is written on here. I hope that at least one person has said " I never thought of it that way" and changed their life.

Yeah, you're right! Its not just the people who post that benefit, this site gets loads of visitors every day, many of whom will find the answers they are looking for by just looking at other posts.

 

The satisfying thing is knowing that people benefit from our words.
