Hi, I am a fourteen year old girl who was diagnosed as both anorexic & bulimic a few years ago. I exercise everyday,eat nothing but healthy foods because i am forced by my mother to eat. I feel so guilty and self-conscious everyday. I used to stick my finger down my throat 6-8 times a day and my mom found out. I just really need help i want to be thin & skinny but i also want to have a career as an actress & i don't want to ruin my life or my families. Because I often have been told that i make their lives difficult and cause trouble I just really really need HELP please give me your input???????
are you seeing a doctor or therapist for help and guidance for recovery? talk to a doctor and follow there advice. it is important to be healthy and get healthy the right way, take care of yourself now at this young age and you can create good habits for the future.
marilynmonroefan....I am sorry you are suffering. An eating disorder can be hard on everyone in the family, and that is why getting help from a professional is so very critical. The dynamics and stress involved can cause many more problems than it can help.
Did your parents get help for you when you were diagnosed? Are you seeing a therapist now? This is critical if you are going to be able to move forward and realize the dreams you have for your life.
If your Mom/parents are not helping you find help, do you have any other trusted adult in your life who could help you talk to them? A school counselor? An aunt?
Please don't wait any longer...you deserve freedom from this...take care...Jan ♥
Yes I do see a therapist but my parents they just don't seem to understand what i'm going through my step-dad seems to think i should be punished for having an eating disorder. I was referred to a recovery hospital but they didn't want me to go , so they took me out of therapy and now there putting me back in the same therapy. Thanks for the comments you guys they helped a lot.
