people are saying about the Support Letter:
| "I really
do enjoy the Support Letter. I recommended it to my nutritionist because I think
so much of the information and tips are extremely helpful and I hope that she
will be able to pass on some of your compassion and information to others with
eating disorders (she works at the Renfrew Center in CT). My
favorite parts of the newsletter are the tips sections (how to survive the holidays),
the inspirational quotes, the thoughts by celebrities (because for me the media
plays a large part of my body image issues & anorexia), and the personal story.
I think the whole newsletter is extremely well put together - the history information
is pretty cool to read about and putting a different personal story in each newsletter
is inspiring. I
just wanted to say that I am grateful for all your hard work in putting this newsletter
together. It gives me the extra hope to continue to heal." -
Elissa, 25, struggled with anorexia,
depression, and anxiety for about 12 years. |
| "I
always look forward to reading Andrea Roe’s You Are Not Alone Monthly Support
Letter. From personal stories to professional guidance, You Are Not Alone is jam-packed
with information that I really want to know --- that I need to know. I highly
recommend it!"
-
Jenni Schaefer, Author of "Life Without Ed" and
"Goodbye Ed, Hello Me" |
| "I had anorexia
for 10 years but I am recovered now and this website absolutley helped me a lot.
Although I'm recovered, I still read every issue of the Support Letter and look
forward every month to the latest edition." -
A., Singapore |
| "This
online newsletter is the richest in content that I have ever subscribed to. The
author, Andrea Roe, is personally invested in the lives of everyone who chooses
to share their story with her! Recovery is possible."
- Angela C, USA, struggled with bulimia,
anxiety, and depression and is in strong recovery. |
| "The You
Are Not Alone Support letter, and Andrea...the one behind it all are truly a blessing
that has come into my life. She has put so much into this work which doesn't stop
at that. Her generosity, knowledge and personal support and encouragement has
helped me through tough times since I found this site. I can personally attest
to the fact that she does care and wants all of US to recover and will lend a
hand, advice and a shoulder when times are tough. Thank you Andrea for all your
time, effort, knowledge and support you continue to give to touch others. You
have truly touched and helped me during my recovery."
- Emily B. from Knoxville TN, has battled anorexia for 9 years. |
| "Andrea, unfortunetly
you know as well as I do that the web is full of triggering sites now days. However,
your creation is a beautiful and positive step forward for everyone. Whatever
the illness, whatever the mind set, there is always something for someone in your
magazine and website. When you are in hospital, one of the main thing taken away
is the internet. However, I think that if people had the chance to read your site
while there, there would be changes...big changes! You are helping me go forward,
You are helping many people go forward...and I know that one day I'll look forward
on this and will deeply have to thank you more so then now!"
- Kara (Living her 6th year with her ed, using your help,
making it my last....hopefully.) |
| "I want
to THANK you for taking the time, energy and love to put together such a positive
and healing newsletter. I have been reading the first two newsletters and have
been blessed by them!" -
Angela T. from New Jersey, USA, struggling
with anorexia. |
| "Thanks
for the great January edition, Andrea! I especially liked the photo retouching
segment (so surprising!) and really, really like your piece on the possibility
of full recovery. When I first started recovery I looked and looked for someone
to say that...I'm glad you're putting it out there." -
