i know i need help. ED
15/f
i have an eating disorder, bulimia. i don't really eat lunch and people are starting to bug me about it. i haven't eaten it since like 7th grade but anyways i know i need help..i just haven't actually said it or convinced myself fully yet. i don't want to die but i don't feel that i will. also i have realized i don't want to live with this for the rest of my life. feeling like crap all the time, feeling guilty for throwing up food and wasting it, feeling guilty for eating, and everything. i don't know why i have this. I guess my question is what should i do? how should i tell someone something like this?
i was thinking of going to a school counselor, i'm not sure.
any advice about anything, related to this would be great =] thank you so much.

the first thing you need to do is tell your parents. believe it or not, our parents will have our back through the worst times of of life, even if it was our fault that we made such a bad decision.
do your closest friends not know whats going on with you? thats why we call them our 'best friends.' they are people who we can tell anything and everything to. and you always know that they will have your back no matter what.
when im in a bad situation, i ALWAYS go to my best friend and it seems like she has the magic touch and knows exactly what to say. which i am so grateful for, because just listening to certain words that someone can say, really does change my perspective on so much and draws me away from the problem.
a school counselor could be a very good idea as well. and im sure they could give you or your parents a number to someone who deals with this for a living.
im glad to hear that your fed up with living this way, and that you realize you need help. im sure thats hard enough to do and i have a lot of respect for you for that.
make sure you talk to someone about this asap.
good luck girl

I agree with Mousy. Your parents need to
know whats going on too. If you are more
comfortable having a counsler tell them
then do that. Just tell someone so you
can get the help you need.
You probably won't be able to just stop.
If you have doing it a while your body
gets sort of programmed to throw up what
you eat. You will need help from a doctor
to get back to normal.
Keep in mind too that while death is
the worst thing that could happen,
there are other awful things that can
happen too. You don't want all your
teeth to rot or your stomach or
esophagus to rupture. So, don't put
it off. Get some help soon.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to getting better. Going to a school counsellor is a good idea. Be honest and tell him/her what you said in your question.
Keep in mind that your parents should know about this too, so tell them if you can. Depending on how comfortable you are with them, I understand that this might be more difficult, but your parents deserve to know. Give them a chance to support you.
I hope you get well soon.
