A counselor is required to tell your parents or authorities if you will be a danger to yourself!. If you are over an eating disorder, you aren't a danger to yourself any longer!. Even if you relapse into the eating disorder, the danger to your life would be a bit down the road!.

Good luck with the treatment of the depression!. I had all the signs when I was your age, but didn't seek treatment until I was 35!. It has made a huge difference in my life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
