How to tell my parents?!


Question: How to tell my parents?
my parents are odd, i know im anoerxic, but parents just think its normal to go through a stage with only eating (pushing food around my plate, only eating 2 mouthfuls) a little. but if i tell my parents they will call me a drama queen, i wear a tank top then a long sleeve shirt over the top (a baggy 1), but if they relise i am they will yell at me and tell me stop, i will cut myself, cos im depressed, or they will take me to the hospital.

how do i make them relise im serious without them thinking i need to go to the hospital?

but on one hand i wanna stop but i no i cant, and on another hand i dont wanna stop, because im still, OCD, depressed, and I just feel fat and i wanna be thin.


I cant go to the hospital, i seriouly have a fear of them, which my old OCD phyciatrist, thinks started my OCD with an insident that started my fear of hospitals also, im only 14, i dont wanna go to a hospital.

Answers:

Start by going to your doctor. He will then be able to see if you are anorexic. He can then sit your parents down and tell them.
Now I know you are scared and don't want to go to a hospital but the only way you are going to get better is if you get treatment. You won't be sent to a mad house or anything. You will be sent to a facility for people with eating disorders , an eating disorder clinic and you will placed with other teenagers your own age. I know it'd scary but think of the damage you are doing to yourself. You need to get help !! And I promise you once you get help , you will get better. Once You start eating and getting the councilling you need hopefully you will no longer feel depressed or have the need to cut yourself anymore. As for the OCD that is a separate problem and you can deal with that once you have had your treatment for your anorexia. OCD is something a lot of people have but they are able to live a relatively normal life. Once you start eating again and feel better about yourself your OCD will seem like.a minor problem.
Oh and if your parents refuse to bring you to the doctor get someone else to bring you a family friend or something..then the doctor can call your parents and tell them to come in and then tell them how sick you are and then you can get the help you need. I know the idea of going away is scary but do you want to continue feeling like this day after day , hurting yourself and practically killing yourself. I know its scary but you are not alone in this. There are plenty of people who are willing to help you get better and I know deep down inside you want this too. So please get the help you need so you can continue living your life



talk to a counselor at school. They can make sure that you get the help you need.
