So, the last week for me has been VERY tough! My friend died, my other friend is doing better but not good, and my BF broke many bones in his face(wakeboarding). I just feel so depressed and so confused. I know im not the only one who feels this way, b/c my whole town loves and misses my friend, but the thing is it's making me have my ED thoughts, b/c i feel like everything is out of control!! I know I should get help, b/c this is not safe, but I dont know how. How do you say you need help. I feel like my mom would be really mad at me

( Im 16) B/c she knows that I know how dangerous it is and everything. I havent lost much weight really so she porbably wont just notice. I just ahve strange eating habits, and I obesse about weight and calories, but I have for awhile, and she just thinks it's b/c i want to be a dietitan( not really anymore) I dunno, I dont even know what I'm trying to ask. Maybe you could let me know how you got help expecially if you are my age or live with parents. Thanx

I am sorry you are hurting so much. Believe me I know this is hard, but the only way I can see you getting professional help at your age is to tell your Mom. I don't see why she would be mad at you. EDs have nothing to do with intellect. If we had the ability to stop simply because we know how dangerous it is, then none of us would be here.


What is your relationship with your Mom like? Do you really think she would get mad at you? Are you able to talk to her openly? Please try to tell her what's going on. The sooner you get help the sooner you will feel better.
