Hi Michelle, and welcome to the boards!
First of all, congrats on posting. I was in your shoes once, and I remember how very scary my first post was. It was admidting to myself and others that I had a problem. That I wasn't well.
I'm sorry it took me so long ot reply, it's been a crazy week!
You haven't told ANYONE about your eating problems? Do you think there is someone that you could or would want to tell? A close relative, a close friend, a significant other? Someone who could help you during the most difficult and troubleing times, late at night when you need someone there to physically hold you? Sometimes it helps to have a person who knows, someone who cares enough to ask how you're doing.
It's a very scary thing...telling people. I, still, years after my eating disorder started, have only told 3 people. My family is still clueless (even after all these years) and most of my friends have either never suspected, or just assumed that I was too "together and rational" to dive into an eating disorder.
Hiding your eating disorder makes everything harder, and makes you feel alone. I hope you can remember that you are NOT alone. There are so many others who are dealing with the same issues as you are! And we're here to support you!!
Good luck and let us know how you're doing!!
NEVER GIVE UP
