    TRIGGER WARNINGi'm mostly anorexic but I'm also bulimic. I've been like this for a few years. i eat like two meals a week. I've never asked for help but i guess i am now. mind you this is something i cant ask for help from my parents cause they are insane. So I'm deciding to get help here. i guess cause I'm too embarrassed. :help: :tears: :icon_redf

    Are you in school? Can you talk to a counselor or advisor? Those are the best places to start, if you feel you can't talk to your parents. Knowing you're dealing with an eating disorder is one thing; admitting it to someone else and seeking help is completely different. Take a trusted friend with you, if you have to. It's one more closet door to open, and you can do it.

    You really should trying talking to a counselor or a doctor.

    I know it's not easy as I myself have an eating disorder so you can shoot me a message if you need to.

    Why don't you grab a trusted friend and see a doctor?
    Will your life turn upside down? No.
    Will it help? Yes.
    I know how you are feeling right now. I too had an eating disorder. I would eat when I was sad and would literally starve when I gained weight. This continued to a point where I was losing weight drastically.
    What did I do? I told all this to a friend and eventually I did start eating peoperly. Believe me, its the most difficult to accept eating disorders. You have acknowledged that. So now you need to seek professional guidance.
    Hope this helps :slight_smile:
    I'm online most of the time, so if you need to talk, feel free to post a message.

    Chances are at least some people close to you already know you have an ED. Get help. If you had cancer, you would seek help. Why not for this disease?

    If you can't talk about it maybe you could write it? It can be an email or a hand written note you give to someone, etc. Remember that getting help when you need it is nothing to be embarrassed about. (*hug*)

    I'll be honest and won't mince words.

    Eating disorders are dangerous, they're not easy to recover from, they never completely go away but you can get help. This stuff almost killed me but here I am, still kicking years after being diagnosed. There's plenty of help lines and sites which can be helpful if you feel you can't reach out directly.

    Does your school not have a counselor?

    Ah, perhaps a help line or something along those lines would be better then?

    They're phone numbers which you call or text for help with various things.
