First of all, good for you for "coming out" so to speak, to those closest to you; that's a very big and brave first step! Now your next step is an obvious one. You need to go to your doctor and tell him/her what you told your husband and friends. Your doctor will be able to patch you through to resources that will help you get on the road to recovery, or at very least, a road to better self understanding. I'd also suggest that you take your husband or one of your friends with you to your appointment for support. Good luck:)

It's great that you are looking for support and that is really the most important piece for recovery. I would urge you to go to the website for the National Eating Disorder Association. www.nationaleatingdisorders.org

Although I believe telling your doctor is a good idea. I wouldn't assume that your doctor would know what to do next. So many professionals in the medical field are clueless about eating disorders.

This NEDA website has tons of information on how to get help along with great resources for support and education for family and friends.

The person who needs the most education is the person who has the illness and when I come to this forum I can see how many people do not have the most current information on eating disorders.

Knowledge is power! The more you know the more you can help yourself to educate yourself as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask questions...good luck!
