There is no easy way round it. You just have to clearly state "i have an eating disorder, and i need help".

If they're good enough friends they will want to help you. Give a little background as to WHY you're at the stage you are if you think they'd struggle to understand.

Good luck :)

You'll probably find that once you start you cannot stop. For me personally I wrote down EVERYTHING starting with how it all started, how it gradually got worse, what I did to hide it & how I wanted help. It was the best thing I ever did.

If you're really honest with yourself then it will become easier to be completely honest with other people and that's the first step to recovering from an ed. To start being honest again.

I hope it helps you too. Feel free to message ms if you want to talk

Well done on deciding to tell somone about it. Its a really positive move.
Be honest with them.
Write down what your problem is, how long you have been struggling with it and what you would like them to do to help you.
Maybe even write down haw difficult writing the letter is.

Good luck

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.

Describe since when you had it, what made you feel that way, why you think it started, what are your thoughts when you eat food, explain what help and supprt you want exactly.

If you want to write a letter seeking help, then you should put in it what's in your mind, not what any of us other members tell you. Just speak your mind, put it on paper. It does not have to be long or say certain things, just what you want it to  say.

The best way that you could seek help is in a letter, which I'm happy that you're intending to do. Now phrasing this letter is going to be a tough one, depending who you're writing to you may want to vary it.

If I were writing to my mother about an disorder of this kind I would state in a way that seems like I want the help and that I want to get past it. I would have it written like:

"In the recent months, I have became more ___(insert cause)_____ because I feel like the only way to get past this is to _____(insert method)____. I want you to know that I don't like being this way, I want help for this. Can you please help me get past this by (therapy, encouragement, ect.)"

Now if I were writing to my friend, I would have to be direct, it would lean towards this:

"I have an eating disorder, and as a friend, I would like you to help me in any way you can to the best of your abilities. If you would encourage me to move past this, and get better about my habits, I would truly appreciate it."

I'm really hoping that one of these is relevant to whoever you're writing this to, I wish you the best of luck in moving past your past.
