want help for eating disorder
15/f
i've had bulimia pretty sure for almost 2 years and i've been thinking how my life would be so much better if i didn't do this. I binge and purge and i'm so stupid because i worry about gaining weight then i do that? it's dumb i know but i can't control it. like i ate today then i felt all anxious and didn't feel better until i threw up. i feel ashamed and guilty
i guess i'm not overweight i'm about 5'6", 125 pounds. i want to lose weight and i know this isn't the way but i can't bring myself to actually say it. i'm worried if i stop i'll gain weight. i don't know what to do.
who and how should i tell someone?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Hey, this is really serious. You should talk to your mom or guardian about this. You could also talk to a school counselor or even a responsible adult you trust. You should probably go see a doctor to get a check up and tell them about your eating disorder.
Thanks and remember to come back for more advice.

As someone who has first hand experience with an ED (I was anorexic), I know how difficult it is for you to speak out, so good job for doing so.
As for people to tell: friends, family, parents, teachers, school counselors (as with teachers, they're required to say something).
If you don't think you can come out and say it, then write a letter and give it to someone.
Sometimes, writing it down and presenting it can be a lot easier than actually speaking the words.
Whatever you do, speak up soon. The longer you go on with the disorder, the harder it will be to get help and be helped.
Good luck with everything!

Tell your parents. Tell anyone close to you. They will understand. They can get you the help that you need, or they will find someone who will. If you are scared to come out and tell them, write them a note., and ask them to read it. And on the note tell them you dont want anyone to preach to you about how its wrong, you just want help.
I think your very brave for taking a stand and saving yourself. Good luck.
