We are currently not seeking volunteers, but may be doing so in the future. Please read below about helping out.

One of our interactive support areas is our Live Chat Rooms. We have many scheduled monthly chats and from time to time we also invite special guests to be interviewed and to speak with and answer questions of those suffering with Eating Disorders, and their loved-ones. If you are interested in being a guest speaker, please contact us directly by e-mail.

You can actively participate in Remember It Hurts. This area was designed not only to create a link between people suffering from Eating Disorders, but also as an area where those recovering can share their stories, coping ideas, and give motivation towards recovery. Our forum moderators always come from within the membership community as they are invited to become leaders based on their level of participation and recovery status.

If you've read a book that was particularly helpful and want to write a review or comment on it, please do so by sending me e-mail and I will include it on the site. It can be a book that appears in the Books That Help section, or it can be one that you are recommending (and I will add it to the list).

If you are along in your recovery and want to offer words of encouragement to others in their battle against the monster, visit and share your story to The Other Side. Everyone's journey through recovery is unique and the more stories that appear, the more opportunity there is for other sufferers of Eating Disorders to see how people have made it through the battle.

If you are a writer and have had articles on Eating Disorder appear in newspapers or magazines (national, local, college or highschool), and wish to share it for use on the site you can visit the Articles of Interest section and send me e-mail from there.

Beyond the website itself, if you want to share the information that appears here with others who do not have access to the web you can read about the CD-Rom we currently sell. This is how you can show your support for Something Fishy and other organizations, as we donate $1.00 of each sale to causes we believe in.

Please to, if you want to volunteer your support in the fight to raise awareness and reach out to others, visit the Links and Resources Page and contact some of the national organizations there on how you can help. Often they have local chapters in your area that are always looking for volunteers to work in offices, provide support via hotlines or face to face, run support groups, etc. The one thing that is important and you should keep in mind... you should be somewhat along in your own recovery before volunteering. Helping others is a wonderful thing to do, but unless you have made some of your own progress your help will be less effective, and you risk running into many problems yourself.

Take care everyone, and thanks so much for supporting this website! I'm glad to have the opporunity to talk with some of you, and to reach others and let them know that we are all in this battle together.
