ok sam i use to be an anorexiic..know one would of known since it was during the summer and people didint see me as much (i lost a good bit of weight and muscle and i am pretty much back to normal but its hard for me to eat now and do the same strenuous work on a regular basis but im at a healthy weight) now that i am back in school and with my friends i feel like i am always hiding somthing. i feel like they should know at times but i dont want there pity or anything i just want them to be aware(that what friends do) i told two of my close friends one kind of understood but one wasshocked and the other was too wrapped up in hearself and her little problems that i think she could of cared less...whats your advice>(i wouldnt now be telling my grade just a couple of close friends but at times i dont think it's the best thing to-i think it could turni into bad gossip and i just have a weird feeling i should just drop and leave it in my pass but its hard somthimes whats YOUR opinion)
First of all, if you feel like you're hiding something, you shouldn't. It's over, you're DONE! (Congratulations anyway, for stopping! You're a REALLY STRONG PERSON!) You shouldn't feel that way at all, you should be happy with yourself because you are beautiful, loving, and fun.
Don't be afraid to tell your friends, but at the same time, don't feel free to tell everyone. If the time is right, and the topic comes up, or if you just feel like the time is right, then go ahead and tell your CLOSE FRIEND(s) what you've been up to last summer. They should understand completely, and if not, well.. that tells you how good of a friend that they are. And if you feel like they are too pitiful, then tell them it's not the way you want to be treated. Tell them that IT'S OVER and you'll never go down that path again. And you can always tell me too; at school, call me up, online.. because I'm always here for you and I can keep a secret.
Gossip is stupid.. and if anyone shares you're personal business, then that's HORRIBLE. Just tell people that you TRUST to keep to themselves.
Don't drop it, always remember the pain you went through so that you NEVER have to go through it again! But for now, be happy with yourself because no matter what it may seem like at the time, you are loved.
