Answers:
I can completely understand how you feel with the parents bit!. Its a horrible feeling having them think everything is fine when really its not!. Im in the same situation there and honestly don't think i could put my parents through it all again!. Last time it happened i also lost a lot of friends because no one knew how to help me!. If your worried about your parents until your ready to maybe telling them!. Try out one of the other support options you have!. such as people on here for a start, if talking with a friend helped then its worth a try sometimes someone from completely outside your life can give some insight into what is going on!. What ever happens don't go it alone!. You also don't need to go and blurt out to your parents what happening, most likily they will of notices some changes in your behaviour so maybe just when your feeling comfortable say "mum i feel so crap right now" just something to let her know with out being too intense that things arn't easy whether they look it or not!.
On the self harm side apart from it being linked into what i said before!. Be careful pleaaaassseeee,Clean, safe, and controlled!. keep everything as clean as possible, make sure your in a safe enviroment, somewhere where your not going to get even more upset, and controlled!. if your in a hysterical mood last thing you want to be doing is that!. accidents happen then!. This isn't me encouraging for all those people out there who will think i am!. I'm just giving advise because if your going to do it me saying don't isn't going to make you feel any better!. I will how ever say that if the door out is still unlocked or even slightly still open, please run for it, get out and lock it behind you!. i mainly say this because i wish someone had told me to get out while i could!. not everyone can though =[
How ever things pan out, try not to stress about them too much, the more your stressing the less likely your going to be able to think clearly anyway!. Sorry this was so long, i hope i might of even slightly helped, feel free to contact me if you want someone to talk to!. bexiev is my yahoo name!. Take care of yourself!. =] xWww@Answer-Health@Com

How old are you!? Why are you pushing your parents away!? I am not a Doctor but here is my opinion!. I have dealt with this in my own family!. The problem maybe that you have a hard time liking yourself!. If you liked yourself you wouldn't harm yourself!. You are a human being, you are already beautiful!. Maybe other people's opionion of you is creating confusion in your own mind about who you are!. You have to teach yourself not to let that bother you!. You said your parents helped you through anorexia and bulimia please don't try to hide all this from them!. Maybe you feel like they've already helped you enough, and you don't want them to be hurt anymore by whats going on with you!. That is a big mistake, no matter what you should go to them!. If they can't think of something to help you work through this, then go for outside help!. I would imagine that you recieved counseling with the anorexia, did they help you, in your opionion!? If not I would continue to find someone in the professional field that is qualified to help you with this!. There are people that care!. Please stop self harming & may the Lord bestowe many blessing onto you!. Take good care of yourself!. One more thing, every morning I wake up I start with telling myself that I am a good person, and I love me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to go to your parents or a therapist!. Someone that can help you get to the root of the problem!. What does it matter if your parents learn the truth and that you are NOT okay!? They love you and care about you, and I'm sure they want to help you!. You need to consult a professional to help you figure out why you are doing the things that you are doing!. Realizing that you have a problem is only half of the battle!. Do yourself justice by seeking the help that you are crying out for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like depression!. I suggest you simply tell your parents what's going on!. Your mental health is extremely important and they won't shut you out!. Take my word for it, go see a psychiatrist of some sort and try to work out the issues with them!. The biggest thing about finding issues and roots of problems is having enough courage to face them!. You may not have the knowledge to tackle chemical imbalances but you can cope with them much easier with the help of psychoactive drugs and talking problems out with family and doctors!. Even just the latter will probably be a load off your shoulders!.

Why keep it a secret anyways!? You're hurting yourself!.

I didn't exactly get a good description of your issue; but it sounds like it might be Clinical depression or a possible Bipolar disorder!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

talk to your parents, if they love you they wont care, just be honest!. anyway, you should see a doctor who should put you through to a pshychiatrist, its nothin 2 be ashamed of, but they will help you with any problems, physical or mental!. pshychiatrists are trained to investigate the roots of your problems, its what they are trained to do (dont you ever watch frasier!?)Www@Answer-Health@Com

see a counsler, if it helped that you opened up to a friend it will help a lot better opening up to a counsler, plus they can help you and give you advice without judging youWww@Answer-Health@Com

A person who can overcome anorexia and bulimia isn't just chopped liver!. A friend you can talk to is great, but you need to continue receiving professional help! Who helped you overcome the previous problems!? Are they still available!?

If not, get your parents to help you arrange to see a psychologist!. Yes, your parents!. This isn't about them trusting you, or not!. This is about their responsibility and desire to protect you from harm!.

Yes, they need to stop you from doing things you want to do, but not because they distrust you!. It's because they need to stop those harmful things you do from harming you!.

If not your parents, ask a school counselor or religious leader!.

Once you find a professional to talk to, emphasize that when you overcame your previous problems, new problems took their place, because anorexia and bulimia were simply different ways of harming yourself from the methods you use now!. They are only symptoms of a deeper cause that remains undiagnosed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
