Who can I tell about my eating disorder? It's out of control and I desperately need help.?

Question

-My parents know, they dont do anything about it.

- My friends would be weirded out

- I'm not comfortable with counsellors

I had 3 options who to tell basically and I'd just like you to say who and why.

1.) My young female PD/H/PE teacher

2.) My older(50?) feminisht english teacher

3.) The deputy principal at my school who tells me to talk to her whneever I need help.

Answer 1

Why? Because the other teachers would probably have to go to the principal ( not really sure what deputy principal is) if you were to go to them for help.

But I would think that you should talk to which ever one you feel most comfortable with. Any of the women would help you on the path to get help.

Good luck to you!

Answer 2

any of those would be great to talk to! I would choose the one you feel the absolute most comfort with.

Its good to hear you have realized you need help. Best of luck

Answer 3

Talk to at least one friend that has lunch with you every day and can come over to your house a lot. Have your parents hire a therapist. It's a good thing you know it's out of control and tell yourself that you can't let this eating disorder be a habit anymore and that you're going to eat more from now on. Start small. Have a carrot or fruit. Then, start eating foods with little oil and build from there. ;)

Answer 4

I know this is a difficult decision to make and it can be stressful and hurt a lot but you do need to tell someone. I think both your gym teacher and english teacher know the effects of an eating disorder.

Find a trusted adult and make it clear that you don't know what to do anymore.

Answer 5

A trusted adult. No one is going to judge you for having a serious problem.

Answer 6

Talk to your PE teacher he or she probably has experience with health.  I used to not like counsellors, but there are some really good ones out there.  It just takes some trial and error.
