Greetings! My name is Jessica and I am one of the co-author's of the book "You Are Not Alone". I am also a regular contributor to the various other You Are Not Alone projects, and am the moderator of this myspace page. First and foremost, I am recovered from over a decade battle with an eating disorder and self injury. I, along with many other dedicated women work side by side with Andrea Roe, the main author of the book, an eating disorders activist, and a survivor of ED. And we want to spread the truth about recovery: COMPLETE recovery is possible, and happens EVERY day, everyWHERE, and under ANY circumstance. We want to let you know that you ARE NOT ALONE, and NEVER have to be again. The book contains personal stories, artwork and poetry from women across the globe who have either recovered or are in strong recovery, from not only eating disorders but have dealt with many issues often associated with eating disorders -which include but are not limited to: mental illness, abuse, sexual assult, self injury, obsessions, addictions...With that being said, Welcome!

My Interests

Awareness and Prevention About Eating Disorders, Self Injury, Mental Health, Surviving Abuse. Helping to improve self esteem, identity, authenticity, strength, confidence, and courage.

I'd like to meet:
