Latley everything has been so messed up. About 2 and a half years ago i was diagnossed with Annorexia Nervosa - my boyfriend has recently found out, and same with his family. He told my best friendand she called me in tears. i know he`s only looking out for me but they just wont get off my back about eating and not b/p now. They think its so easy to just become better with a snap of my fingers. My best friend told me shes afriad to talk to me about it and my boyfriend yells at me about it like its suddenly going to "fix" me and change everything. I feel so alone in all of this. Ive tried explaining the details of it, why it`s caused, how its caused, the syptoms and everything but they just cant seem to understand better. how do i deal? (ps i know i need to "get help" and believe me ive tried but every time i try i choke up, run away and start crying) helllp!!


You can direct them to http://yourmedicalsource.com/library/anorexia/ANO_help.html

They are trying to show you that they want to help. Give them specific "dos and don'ts" that will help you. "Don't yell at me", "Do give me honest answers about how I look in an outfit", or whatever they can do to help.

Encourage them to join a support group for friends and family - or maybe you and your boyfriend can join one together.

(Rating: 5) I am telling them the "do`s & dont`s" but i do need to tell them the "honest" answers about outfits and what-not, thanks so much.
