How do I deal with people using my ED recovery against me in an extremely hurtful way?

You have a choice in recovery- you're getting rid of a toxic influence (your e.d.) in your life. It's also important to get the toxic people out of your life, too. Recovery is a tough thing, especially when you feel people are going to use it against you.Just remember how strong you are- you're choosing to recover. The negative people in your life who want to use that against you are simply cruel. You don't need them in your life at all. Hold your head high and fight.

I really need someadvice. I've been restricting my food intake and purging on and off for almost two years. Nobody knows except for a friend of mine whodoesn't know that it's still going on. I'm terrified that something reallybad is going to happen because of what I've been doing. Lately my appetite has been way down and almost everytime I eat no matter how much or how little I eat I get a bad stomach pain,and I'm scared that it's because of what i've been doing, I can't let my parents find out

Almost all of the time time, eating disorders lead to bad things, medically speaking. Your body begins to destroy itself to seek energy and nourishment. Your body will break down muscle tissue to provide energy. Purging can lead to ulcers- holes in the lining of the stomach- along with other digestive and gastric issues.

You need to see a doctor about this. I believe in most states, if you are over 13, your doctor isn't required or permitted to share certain medical information with your parents. I would strongly suggest you speak to them about this, though. The way eating disorders work is to isolate you from people who care and can help. Don't let it do this to you.

I am bulimic, I try not to eat but I do. And I really really hate myself for it. I'm so confused, I'm stuck between what I am, what I want to be and what I should be... I am tired of everything. I am always sad. Or numb. I can't even explain why, I don't know why I am the way I am. I'm going out of my mind. Please help. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I can't do this anymore. I am afraid. I just don't know ughh. My head is a battle field. Help please.

Sweetie, first of all I want to say you're an incredibly brave person for posting this and asking for help. Eating is not evil. Food is not evil. Bulimia IS evil. It's the bulimia that's making all of these things go through your head. One thing I think would help would be talking to a therapist about these thoughts and feelings. It's cathartic to express yourself to someone without fear of judging.

You are not alone in this fight, sweetheart.
