Ok so i am 14 years old and i think i have a eating disorder.
i say think because im not diagnosed.
but tbh im sure i have one.
thing is at the moment im sorta stook in limbo sortaa...

like i want to get better and recover.
but then i want the control over something...

and im not sure what to do
im actually terrified at the thought of my parents knowing.
so they are no option to tell.
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

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.

It's really important you talk to 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.

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"
