Have you told anyone?

Posted on 04/21/08, 04:32 am
Have you ever told or been close to telling someone you were anorexic/bulimic or had disordered eating? I've told a grand total of three people (whom I've known for years prior to it all). That may seem like a lot to people but really... I don't think it is considering how many people I associate with.

    Pretty much everyone and anyone knows about my ED. I had to pretty much tell my professors at school when I took medical leave. It was a huge bummer, and though I didn't tell them flat out, most of them could tell by the way I looked.

    My friends know, my family knows, and anyone that my husband/family has come in contact with knows- I have been in treatment for 6 months out of the last 11 months, so they had to tell them SOMETHING when I randomly disappeared. heh.

    My mom, a few ex boyfriends, and my best friend knows that I have struggled with it. But Ive always been so vague with it that nobody really notices when I relapse

    I have only told 5 people, my 4 besties and this guy that I was seeing. I have a hard time opening up with this. I haven't even reached out for prof. help yet!
