That was me for the past few years, and 6 months ago i just came right out and asked for help because i realized how scared it was making me and how out of control I felt and that nobody could see that. pm me and I can help you, or at least have someone to talk to.

I really don't know where I'd be without my best friend to talk sense into me. Obviously you'll get a few arseholes that will accuse you of all sorts, you just need to rise above that and focus on solving the problem in hand. And I'm sure your mum would like to know whats going on with you, she may even already suspect a problem, if you aren't that close you've got nothing to loose by telling her. she would laugh at me though say i dont cause im fat and stuff :'( Anonymous Posted at 4:19 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 You need to tell someone. I know it is hard and it will be, but i went through the same thing. luckily i got through mine on my own, but it was SOOO hard. I didnt tell my friends until after and even now only one knows. I have to be SO careful so I dont slip back into it. It is now something I will have to watch so closely on my own because I was too afraid of telling someone. I really wish I had someone, and if you haev someone there for you it will make the recovery a whole lot easier.

Its good that you want help, accepting you have a problem is the first step.     Why do you feel you can't tell your mum? or friends? They may not fully understand, but they will support you through this, and that's what you need right now.   i guess im just scared...   but me and my mum are not close so im scared she wont care cause shes like that... n also im scared it might pull us furthur apart... cos i wud avoid her cause i dnt like talking about how i feel in person...   and my friends well cause they would thinks its either for attention or sum shit :( i dunno i h8 this No i do not have one.... my school has some staff that deal with all that but i cant talk to them i hate them and still do NOT trust them paperskyx Posted at 4:14 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 4:08 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 Quote: from paperskyx at 12:05 am on Nov. 8, 2008 Hey there, eating disorders are hard to deal with, but your family and friends do care about you.

Do you have a school guidance counselor? I know it's hard, but she/he will take it seriously and keep it confidential and give you great advice and support. She/he will not judge you. It is important for you to get help.

SO FUCK U crazychica21 Posted at 4:05 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 hey. i think that u should tell your friends because if they are your friends they will help you and you should also tell your mom. i think that once you are comfortable with telling your friends that kind of stuff you should go to see a doctor. dont be scared of telling someone or asking for help because true friends will always help you no matter what and they wont judge. the seer Posted at 4:05 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 eating disorders can evolve into real issues you need to see a doctor even if it is by yourself. paperskyx Posted at 4:05 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 Hey there, eating disorders are hard to deal with, but your family and friends do care about you.
