I work as an ABA private post-intensive therapist for children with autism & recently I have started becoming a part-time nanny for a few families.. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for 8 years, as well as various other issues, and I'm hoping this website helps me out. I need some hope & comfort back in my life.

Support Groups
Close Eating Disorders
: AnorexiaI've had an eating disorder for 8 years but have kept it hidden from nearly everyone I love. I pride myself on how well I do at hiding it. I justify it by telling myself that I'm good at my job, I'm good at school, etc, etc, but I know that things are now beyond my control. I sought out treatment, which I'm currently in, & it's hard, really hard. But it's what I need to do, and it's terrifying deserting something you've been facing for so long, something so familiar, but I'm just looking for support and help and hopefully a way to overcome this.
