Q: i am almost positive i have anorexia, as hard as that is for me to admit. i don't want to tell any of my friends or family, but i know i need help and i cant do it on my own. i went online and searched for help sites, or centers near me to help and i found nothing. the first step is to admit you have a problem, and i am doing that, but now i cant even get help. if you know of any web sites that will help me, sites to find a place near me, or can give me any other advice, i'd appreciate it.
I think it's really good that you've admitted to yourself that you have anorexia, but what they mean by admitting is telling an adult.

You're right, you can't do this on your own, you need to just confess this to your mom or dad, whichever you feel the most comfortable telling. And I know you may not feel comfortable at all, but once it's out, you'll feel a lot better knowing that someone knows you have a problem.

Maybe you should look at sites on the best way to go about confronting anorexia and how to approach your parents on it. Just don't let fear stop you from telling them, you have to take care of your body now and not keep letting yourself live like this.

Everyone should feel free to Private Message me for advice, I can be harsh, but I'm always trying to help someone by giving them the truth they need.
