Hey there,
I myself am currently struggling to overcome my anorexia!. In my opinion, you have already taken the most difficlut step towards recovery: acknowledging that you have a problem!. It took me so long to realize that i needed help, and i still have doubts to thins day!.

First off, never think that the things you are feeling are stupid, or that you are acting irrationally!. Eating disorders are complex issues, and can be very confusing and overwhelming!.

Just because your eating disorder may not be as severe as the ones you read about or see on tv doesn't mean that you don't deserve help!. And never think that your friends would be burdened by your problems!. Im sure they would want to help you as much as they could, and you need their support more than ever at a time like this!. It saddens me to hear that you don't feel like your family would support you in recovery, so I think it would be extremely beneficial for you to talk to a therpist!. They even have family therapy!. Maybe that would help your family realize that you need them in order to get better!.

The best thing for you to do is to tell someone how you are feeling!. You can't keep all of your feelings inside, it is too difficult!. Once you tell someone, you can begin taking the steps towards recovery!. This may include talking to a therpist!. He/she will give you ways to cope with your feelings!. You should also talk to a nutritionist to help you come up with a healthy eating plan and develop a healthier relationship with eating!.

Although recovery may be difficult at first, things get easier every day!. You will be so grateful that you got yourself the help you deserve!. Good luck and take care!. I hope everything goes well for youWww@Answer-Health@Com

You wanted more people to tell you what you already knew!.
Go get help!. It's your life and you need to take charge of it!. Asking for help is the first step!.
Good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should tell one of your closest friends!. im 15 and pretty much in the same situation as you!. im not close enough to tell my family!. i had the same concerns as you!. i finally worked up the courage to tell one of my best friends and it was one of the hardest things ive had to do but after i felt relieved!. she ended up going to the school counselor the day after and talked to them for like 2 hours about everything i told her even though i told her not to tell anyone!. i was really mad at first but then i realized that she did it cause she cared and i got over it!. this was all started when i told her this wednesday!. i think im going to go talk to the school counselor monday but we'll see!. i understand how hard it is for you!. good luck!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i think by posting this, you are reaching out and can i just say - congratulations!. even thought you say you are not 'convinced', you are aware and contemplating change and this is a huge step!.

my advice, if you find it really hard to start with telling friends or family, book an appt with ur GP!. they get this stuff ALL the time, usually it is people being forced to go with parents!. they will help u and refer u to a counseller perhaps, who will also have seen this loads and loads!.

you are not weird or alone, eds are not that rare, and getting more and more common!. they are devastating to health (bones, fertility etc) and always require external treatment/help!. dont go it alone!. uv gone one huge step, try to push urself to the next step - telling someone, anyone!. best of luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
