Eastenders

I think it is very good that they have introduced a bulimia/anorexia storyline, and also for not having it as the "main story". Just something in the background.

I had a similar issue in the 1980s and ended up in hospital twice because of it, but I hid it from my family. Thankfully I got through it myself, but if I'd continued for even a few more weeks I could have died from it. It is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.

Re: Eastenders

Hi Susan what an unpleasant experience that must have been for you .

It is a useful story line and may help to bring a little understanding to the condition.

Re: Eastenders

I havent watched any of the soaps for a number of years now ...
I think there are probably better places and ways to address the problem than in a soap but this does seem to be the educational tool of choice for many these days.
