First of all, you do need to talk to someone. If you think there might be a problem, there is. It IS hard to open up to someone you don't know, but that's what they are there for. Everything doesn't happen over night either. Eventually you learn to trust the person you go and talk to and you can work on things. Isn't it worth taking the chance on? Yes, people skip meals once in a while, but not to the point of passing out. Do you run competitively? I ran in college, that's where my ED started. Another thing is that you don't have to fit into the stereotype to have an eating disorder. Because you just skip meals and don't use laxitives or some other form of purging, doesn't mean you don't have a problem... If you feel it, it's there... Email me if you want to talk some more...
