Sorry all, I keep spamming this forum with stuff that has nothing to do with EDs. I'll stop if I'm annoying people!
Does anyone know whether it's possible to have more than one Instagram account, or delete my existing account and set up a new one with a separate email and not linked to my Facebook account so my friends can't find me? Thinking about doing a recovery account, but my RL friends and family don't know I have a problem to be recovering from. And I don't use the existing one anyway...

Yeah, I have a recovery account that isn't linked to my facebook. It asks when you set it up if you want to find your friends through FB and if you say no to that it won't link with it. Just whenever it asks if you want to connect with anything say no. I feel like I'm doing an anti drug thing here, JUST SAY NO KIDS! You can have more than one account too, just make sure you don't post on the wrong account if you're keeping your ed hidden from friends! The recovery community on there is fantastic, so supportive and inspiring so I think it's worth giving it a go it you think it could help!

I'm so glad you spotted this Zarania, your Instagram has been incredibly inspirational to me!
Think I'll just register for a new one and leave the old one as a ghost - that way nobody will be offended thinking I've deleted them, and nobody will come looking for me
I swear the hardest part of social media is thinking of new usernames, Cherry Blossom is taken...

Found a username - turns out part of the problem was that I was using spaces instead of underscores. I'm Cherry_Blossom_Recovery (really original!)
I was following you before, but I don't think I actually told you who I was, I just jumped on board. I'm the random with the baby seal profile pic. Thanks your your message btw, didn't realise that bit was public, eek!
Who do you recommend I follow? I'm so clueless...

Careful who you follow & what you "like" from your personal account, I believe it is visible. *hugs*

My advice? Delete the lot. That's all social media.
Ask why you want to participate?
No offense meant. Just a genuine wonderment in general.....
Why?
If you want to be anonymous etc, why instagram?
Call me oldskool
Or an arsehole
