I could use some help...

[Lyric97]

I figured this would be the best forum to post this in, as no other seemed suitable at all.
Recently, my friends have helped me realize that I have a serious problem. I've kinda got a bit of an eating disorder...
And I dunno what to do about it. A part of me wants to tell my mom, but I don't know how. She hasn't noticed that I don't eat much. She's already always so stressed, it would just break her heart if she knew... My dad, on the other hand, has noticed, and seems rather angry at my lack of an appetite. I'm also scared to tell him, because he is a very angry man and could get rather upset...(They don't live together so he doesn't discuss his concerns for me with my mother)
I read about the treatment, which is another reason I'm reluctant to confess my small problem to someone who can help me. It said part of treatment is helping the one suffering from the disorder to gain weight. I don't wanna gain weight. I'm scared to. Just thinking about it honestly makes me feel anxious, panicky, and close to tears.
Is there any way I could treat this myself without help from anyone? I don't want to worry my loved ones with my problems like this.
If I do have to tell someone, I would appreciate it very much if you could tell me the best way to break the news to my mother without alarming her.
Also, what if she doesn't take me seriously? How do I bring it up? What could I say to her?
I'm scared...help me?

Personally, what i would do is to go and see your local GP/ doctor. They'll know more about what your going through and help point you in the right direction. It also helps that they dont know your friends/family personally.

Im kind of in the same boat as you are with telling the parents. Ive been on anti-depressents for a few months but my parents dont know so i know what your going through with keeping a big secret.

I was told once but a very special man that its your parents job to worry and it is their right as a parent to know what is worrying their child. Think about it, if your child was going through what you are, wouldnt you want to be there for them? Your parents may react in the short term in a way that you dont want to ie getting upset/angry, but in the long term, they'll be supportive and will encourage you to get help.

Please dont think in any way that you are weird and that you need to close yourself off from the world. You'd be suprised how common eating disorders are. Hope all goes well.

hi how are you ? hope your feeling well
you sound like a lovely intelligent young person, and are obiviously clever enough to have realised the solution
Drinking plenty of water will keep you hydrated and wont add to your weight.
im a yoga and martail arts teacher and would suggest that you do some "gentle!" streatching and deep breathing, this streatching is great at toning muscle and sculpting the body to be beautiful, and the breathing might help you to understand yourself better.

but if your going to do yoga (or any form of excerisie) food needs to be understood as energy that is used by the body to develop itself, a good balance is needed.
the mathmatical equation is this....

energy in (food) - energy out (excercise) = a balanced metabolism and health.
