How did you overcome your eating disorder? i know its painful to talk about but I wanna know for a friend please
No, it’s okay. I can answer this without a problem, I first told a family member because they noticed my health was decreasing a lot. I would always be in bed or the bathroom and they became very worried. We had a nice sit-down, and I told them everything.
I have a very supportive family thankfully, and they took me to the doctor the next day. The doctor was so helpful and nice, he didn’t make me feel bad or scared. He recommended a good therapist, and she gave me medication. Talking to her improved me a lot. It was really nice to sit down with someone and cry about it and not feel so… stupid. I was still a mess and my family watched everything I did to make sure, I got all I needed. It’s been a year now and I am still going strong. I’m still a mess and sometimes I get the urge, But I always talk to someone before I do anything.
I would say, support your friend however you can.
