eating disorder treatment centers
15/f
i have bulimia and nobody knows and it's starting to really effect my life. tired all the time, constantly in the bathroom, can only think about food, can't concentrate in school etc. i throw up everything. i don't know if i want to tell but like whats the best thing to do to get help? because if i do decide to get help i want to do something that will REALLY help and hopefully i can get rid of this. it's the biggest mistake i've ever made, so would going to like a center type thing where you stay there be the best thing?
i can honestly say i don't know how to eat. i either eat sooo much i purge or i don't eat anything. theres no balance.
i've been like this for over a year, two years in november. ah i've never said this out loud though, i just don't know what to do. nothing has ever convinced me enough to tell.
so if you could answer my question and give me any advice i'd really appreciate it.

I had an eating disorder when I was in middle school, I was anorexic. I understand most of what you're going through because of my experiecne.
I had out-patient care, which is when you receive help but you don't actually go to a clinic. I also wasn't as far into the anorexia as most people are when they get help. My parents noticed it early on and sent me to psychiatrists all over the city until I found one I really took a liking to.
Anyway, if you feel it would help you more, I would talk to your parents and see what they think about in-patient care, which is where you actually go and stay at a clinic.

Your first step should be to tell somebody. If you can't tell your parents yourself, then go to a school teacher, friend, councilor, etc. who is able to inform your parents for you.
Once your parents know, it will get easier to stop yourself because you'll have all sorts of support. Take care of yourself, get help.
If you think you can recover through out-patient care then by all means, try it. If you think it would be easier to spend time in in-patient care, go for it.
Whatever you do, speak out and get help!
