How do you hide an eating disorder from your family/friends?

Question

Please dont say go see a doctor or anything like that.

i just wanna know how you can hide it so people

dont find out.

Answer 1

they ALWAYS find out...don't kid yourself

I suppose you could tell them you're just practicing to be a skeleton for Halloween

Answer 2

From your question, YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER. Most of the posts are giving you good advice. People do not have to have experience to tell someone to get help. You don't want to see a doctor, you want to hide the problem. That's why I said you're not looking for any answer. What you need is a SHRINK. Get help before you kill yourself.

Answer 3

I know that you're going to find the answer to this question on your own anyway if you really want to, but I don't want to help you along with that. People will know as you get dangerously skinny no matter what you do- it's not an easy thing to hide. You seriously should tell someone (even if it's only your best friend at first) about your ED because it can and will become a serious condition.

Answer 4

you have to wear clothes that dont show how skinny youre getting, because if people see you losing too much weight they will be concerned and suspect that you have a problem. also, some people pretend to eat normally at restaurants but actually just chew the food and instead of swallowing, and spit it into their cup when lifting the glass to presumably take a drink. if you binge, do it when nobodys home, or stop by fast food joints when youre out driving around by yourself. if you throw up, do it in the shower when the water is on, so that no one will hear you.... or use public restrooms. i saw an intervention episode about a bulimic who threw up in plastic ziplock bags in her garage, and then stored the bags deep in her closet. she threw them all out once a week on garbage day.

Answer 5

I'm sorry for saying this and I know that I won't get best answer, but I am saying it in your best interest..................you need help. Talk to a friend. I know that you don't want to talk to a parent, but a friend can help. If it gets more serious, then your parents should notice anyways.

Answer 6

go see a doctor or something like that.

obviously the eating disorder is having a serious impact on your capacity for cognitive reasoning as asking this question is perhaps the dumbest thing I've seen someone do on Y!A.

you need to realize that you need help and you need to get such help.

Answer 7

you hide it when you are ready to die. if you want to  live  and be thinner you exercise and eat better. i wont say go to a dr but you should tell your mother. this is a psycological disorder and can be helped.you dont see that right now because you are ill.  

Answer 8

you should tell u r family, dont be stupid. u cant freekin hid u r body changing and u prob asked this for attentionn butt w/e

Answer 9

Im sorry but I really dont think anyone will tell you how to better starve yourself and help with your death.

I am not here to lecture you about what you should and shouldn't be doing, but please, think about telling your parents.

Just think about what you are doing to your family, you can easily die by anorexia, 1/4 do. Do you REALY want to do that to your family?

Answer 10

Seriously ive been there and done that and you can only hide it for a while before fiinding out. i hid it in the bin they found out i put it down the toilet the toilet got blocked there is no way and as soon as they see u losing weight they will be looking for reasons y so ur more likely to get found out,

its up to u its ur life but as a warning its not worth it i nearly died ,and it takes getting there to realside how serious it is , i didnt belive ne1 when they said how bad it could be but its been the worst in my life,

and the recovering takes over 6 months

get help ,

good luck

Answer 11

You really should tell someone.

Answer 12

Go to a doctor.

I really don't even know why somebody would ask a question like this.  An eating disorder is a DISEASE!  Would you try to hide the flu, or some other very serious sickness?

Answer 13

Well, first and foremost you can't hide such condition to anyone coz of the changes you may dealing with (physically). All you have to do is go to treatment center either you stay there or choose to be an outpatient.
