Answer 3

I have had anorexia since I was 15 too.  If you are serious about this and want help you would have told someone and wouldn't have written this.  Most anorexics are in denial for years before then admit to having a problem with eating!!!  You may think or want to have an eating disorder, but honestly like a lot of others it's just something that you go through and then fix yourself!  Again if you are serious talk to someone other then on the internet someone who can actually get you help!  I was in rehab twice for my eating disorder and got down to 97lbs in less then a week and I was one day away from having a heart attack which would have killed me!  Plus if you're not looking to have a tube shoved up your nose to feed you I recommend that you eat something and get some help before that happens.  Get help before you do die or you have serious health problems that stick with you for the rest of your life.

Answer 4

the largest step to overcoming it is to admit that you have it, you can go to a school couselor  to seek advice from a professional, eventually you can tell your parents and they will be able to help and support you even more, its always hard to confront people about such a thing, but doing so will really help, good luck.
