im really body concious and sometimes it gets to the point where i hurt|harm myself. i used to cut and i was annerexic. i am no longer neither but today my boyfriend asked for nude pics. and im 13 but usually i would be like YEAH BRB I NEED TO TAKE SOME. but lately ive just been more depressed than usual. i dont eat much anymore. ive been wanting to cut i even attempted to cut. i havent wanted to kill myself though. i just dont know whats wrong with me. i dont want my mom or dad to know. and i dont want physcological help anymore either. nothing online or in person. i made up a random excuse not to. but its jsut that i can find more flaws in me than good things. i dont even think i do have good things. my question is. what can i do?
Psychological help does work. I battled an eating disorder between the ages of 10 and 15, and came out just fine. You just need to put the effort into it. A psychiatrist won't magically make all your problems go away, but they can help you to decide how to fix them.
Another, as a side note... for your boyfriend's sake, don't give him nude pictures of yourself. It's illegal, even if you're the one sending it. He could be charged with possession of child pornography. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

Sabine answered Thursday February 8 2007, 10:51 pm: I know this is not what you want to hear. Sorry. You NEED psychological help, even though you don't want it. You will have to get it eventually and it may as well be now, outpatient, rather than later, when you've dropped 20 lb and your parents find cutting scars and have you hospitalized. Please take care of yourself and ask for the help you need.
