Hey I'm new I'm new here. I finally admit that I am struggling. I am in high school and nobody is willing to get me help because they feel like I don't need it they say I'm faking it. Could I be faking it? I don't know. But I lost a pretty great amount of weight and 17% of my body weight in the past month my boyfriend is really Concerned and worried for me I don't really see why. I do feel really sick and I know that I'm dying but I have no more control. I mean, I do have a lot of control and the food I eat but never mind I don't really know what else to say I'm kind of just rambling right now and I apologize. Have a good day everyone
Trust yourself- it doesn’t matter what others think. The fact that you came here and posted in this forum tells me that you are absolutely NOT faking it! Eating disorders aren’t just about weight loss, they are about how you feel about your body, how you feel about food, and how you feel about yourself in general. If you feel sick and you feel like you are losing control, then you have every right to get yourself some help and support. If your parents won’t get you help, maybe you could talk to a school counselor or another adult that you trust?
