I'm really depressed! I'm 14 and ive had trouble with eating disorders for the past 3 years, i managed to stop but now i cant help but wanting to starve again. I always dont eat for a few days and i feel i'm doing really well then i feel really tired so i eat something small then can't stop myself and end up eating loads which results to me making myself sick. I feel i really need to talk to someone my age about it but i can't because none of my friends understand and they tell my parents who are really unsupportive about it and went mad with me before and banned me from everything i dont know what to do please help:( x
Is there a teacher at your school or a coach who you can talk to? What about a guidance counselor or an aunt? My daughter was scared to tell us too, we actually found out on our own. Your parents are probably scared to death and do not know what to do, so banning you from everything is just the only way they knew how to deal with it. If you approach them with the attitude that you are scared and really need help, maybe they will react differently. I know that I would have loved to have my daughter trust me enough to approach me.
All of her teachers at school and the guidance counselor and school social workers have been EXTREMELY helpful and understanding. I urge you to talk to one of them! If you don't feel you can, pm me with your info and I will do it! You need to be treated and cared for before things get worse.
PM me anytime you need to talk.
