im scared
I know I'm anorexic and leaning towards being bulimic too. But that's not my problem(yes I know it's a problem but not the one I'm concerned with right now), but my problem is that I need to tell someone but I don't know how. I'm too afraid of what their reaction will be to tell someone. I asked my friend if she's read my online journal where I talked about it as kind of a hint for her to look at it but I don't think she got it. So should I just ask her to read my journal so that she knows and I don't have to come out and say it? (as you can prob tell...I have confrontation problems) Thanks! I rate high!!

Yes you need to tell someone, but your focus shouldn't be telling your friend. It should be telling your doctor. At least ask for advice from your school counselor or nurse. It's true that a friend can "give you moral support" but that isn't going to help your medical or psychiatric issues. Support groups that you can join while getting medical help will assist you in talking to your friends about your problem.

i think that you should tell somebody your problem that you can really trust. you might think you could trust your friend but she might tell another friend. Maybe you should tell a cosin or somebody you know you can trust and could get you help. get better.

say to your friend, "please read this, i can't tell you this upfront.. read it tonight," or something like that... and if you are anorexic.. don't you think people would notice you bones and you keep losing weight? if they didn't... then they don't notice much i guess.

Well you should tell a counsular at school, because they will understand, they know how to help you with these kind of things. You cant wait for someone to find out, you need to get help yourself, especially if you know better.
I know its going to be really hard, but schedule a time with your counsular and tell her, telling your friends wont help, they arent trained to know what to do in this very serious situation.
They could just end up telling a parent, who will tell your parents, and make the situation worse. The counsular will have to tell your parents, but its just easier when another adult explains it to another adult, rather than a chid trying to. If that makes sense.
But for your friend thing, I wouldnt have her read it, if she doesnt get it, she doesnt get it, and what is she going to do if she gets it? tell a grownup? and make the situation worse? That very well could happen. I suggest you tell a school counsular, or a parent. Its going to have to be done,if you ever want to get better..

hi!! wow, i'm so glad you realize that there is a problem... that is so good, because you can finally get help for this and move on with your life. ok first of all decide who you want to tell. i know you said you want to tell your friend, but would she really be of any help? you need to tell someone who will actually be able to help you out. in my opinion, your best bet would be an adult that you trust and can open up to... a guidance councelor or teacher at school, parents or other relatives... they are the ones that can really help you, and they will have to find out eventually anyway.
if you can't just go and open up and talk about it by saying something like "mom (or someone else), i have a problem that i need help with... i think i have an eating disorder" then you can always write it on a piece of paper and give it to whoever you want to tell. if you want to tell your mom, write it down for her, go up to her and say there is a problem and give her the note. sit down while she reads it, and once she starts talkign about it, it will be much easier for you to talk as well!! it will feel soo good once someone that can help you knows! and don't worry, those people love you and want what is best for you, and they will be so happy that you came out and told them before you get seriously sick! let me know if you need more help! :)
