Eating disorder?!
Question:
Eating disorder?
I think I may have (or might be at risk of getting) an eating disorder.
What can I do? Don't tell me to talk to my mom; she would be really really upset if she found out; as it is she thinks I don't eat enough.
Answers:
The most important thing you need to think about first is why you think you might be developing an eating disorder. Is it a compulsion? Is it because youre scared of gaining weight?
Either way, there are people you can talk to about this. Since you cant talk to your mother, consider talking to someone such as a school counselor, school nurse, or someone at the health department, if you can get to it yourself. The best idea would probably be to talk to your school counselor or school nurse, both of which would not tell your parents what you talked about.
Im very glad that you have recognized you may be at risk for an eating disorder. Please follow through and talk to someone.
If you have any further questions or need to talk, feel free to email/message me.
