Doctor = no way i cant see one on my own.! family/friends = no! simply no. i feel like  i have no one to tell ive been on B-EAT and they told me recovery hardly happens with out some proffesional help. I Know from the past i could eat normal again... thing being i feel mega guilty afterwards and i still think the same. but i dunno what to do i just need some overall advice please??? Thanks xx

Replies Precia Posted at 4:38 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 ok, first you should really tell your parents. try writing them a note if you are uncomfortable talking to them. second, find professional help. don't worry. Professionals deal with this kinda thing every day. they know how to help. i think notes are easier than face-to-face personally.  ex: i told my mom that I am bisexual through notes. It worked perfectly and she was really cool about it. after the first awkward part we were able to talk normally about it. i think it will be the same with you and your parents.

If you just cannot do that, try making your bad eating habits apparent so maybe they'll confront you. Recovering from an eating disorder requires help-it's nearly impossible to do it on your own. If you feel guilty about eating, you are not okay. You still have that same stigma and your disorder will come back. You need to get professional help before something bad happens. The Fantasy Posted at 4:31 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 seriously, pm me. we're in the same situation. Stand Up Posted at 4:30 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 You need to admit the problem openly and then seek for help and get support. At least you now admit you have something going on, but now you need to actually say it out loud and in "public" Anonymous Posted at 4:30 pm on Nov. 23, 2008 Quote: from Angel925 at 12:29 am on Nov. 24, 2008 go talk to a guidance counselor at school it can be helpful...start from there No i cant. we dont have them.
