I know you are scared but I think if you talk to your therapist that would be a good start.She can help and also maybe help you approach your parents.If your caught in this cycle of b&p professional help is what you need.Have you been previously daignosed?Maybe even speak with your DR.Please keep shareing..Im sure you know that you could use professional help to get to the root of whats causing your Ed are you seeing your therapist for your Ed or other reasons?Good luck and please continue to share..you will find alot of support here.
If you are seeing a therapist, they need to know what you are struggling with, or you are simply wasting your money, their time and your time. Please be honest about what you need help with.
I know it's frightening to share this with people in your life, but in order to get support, it may be important. You cannot know their reaction, but if you approach it without shame, and ask that they be there for you, and educate themselves about your disorder, it may help.
This is not your fault, but you can be the driving force behind your recovery. We all need help at times. Please accept that help and allow others into our life. I truly believe it will help. Take care...Jan ♥
I was scared to share my bulimia with my counselor at first...I hid it for a good couple months and she was none the wiser..but I wasn't helping anyone.
As soon as I told her it was like a weight was lifted off of me and I felt so much more hopeful for a free future.
When I decided to tell my parents I was even more scared, because I thought they'd constantly watch me, and be nosy, and I'd be miserable.
But really...it's all worth it in the end. You want help right? This site is good for that, but having a professional or someone you truly trust and care for to talk to is even better. And you won't feel so alone either.
I wish you all the best
