I've been going to therapy for about two years now.
My last meeting (Friday) my therapist and I went in-depth about my ED. She says if I don't start seriously working on it right now, I'm going to end up dying. She's thinking about sending me to a three-month residential facility.
I REALLY don't want to go. That will end after school starts. I'll miss my entire summer vacation, the auditions for the fall musical, and I'm supposed to be editor for our school yearbook.
The worst part is I thought I was getting better, but looking back I realize I wasn't-if anything, I was getting worse.
Basically, I don't want to go into residential, but I can't do this on my own either. My mom is really trying to help, but she ALWAYS SAYS THE WRONG THING. She's reached the point where she just won't talk to me about it. I don't have any friends, at least none I can talk to about this. I can't do this on my own, I need help, but I just can't do residential. I'll miss out on so many things, part of my senior year of high school. Is there any other alternatives?

But the things you'll miss, it;s important to you i know. But it's only 1 summer. 1 summer to potentially fix the rest of your life, and put you on the right track again...
When you're better, and you feel better, there will still be musicals and summers ahead of you. But they'll be even better...you have to put yourself 1st on this one.
As far as residential..no one wants to go i'm sure. But i think it would be the best thing for you, and when you leave, you'll have everything you need to continue getting better..
I hope you get what you need x
