I am 16 years old and I have had an eating disorder since i was 13. Only recently have I been getting out of control with it, or I just realized the seriousness of it. But i am too scared to get help or for change. My mother doesnt know what to do with me. She treatens me as if i am just going to stop. She insluts me and how i look. Then she also thinks that i am Bulmic which i am far from but i can understand why she thinks that because i love to cook and bake. Only she doesnt see me throwing away what i make. I did go to a phychytrist but i really didnt like how he jumped right in calling me bulimic and expecting me to answer personal questions about myself. I never went back, and punnish myself for not getting help then and now i feel so hopeless. I am unable to ask my mom or anyone for help. I am too deep in that when i go to the doctor i wear weights so i am heavier. I cant help my terrible habbits and I need to get out of this. I have no friends and no life. depression is overwhelming me. I have lost so much weight and i feel still fat and i dont like this never ending cycle. So someone please tell how i can ask or a way i can get help the right way. and stick with it. please.

Check out the website NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) and see if some of the information there is helpful.. It's great that you "realize you have a problem" - that's half the battle - but you do need to get help so you don't slide backward.
On NEDA's site - there is probably a locator to find a professional in your area - and they have a great understanding of how to talk to you with sensitivity and help to provide beneficial therapy.
Do get help because you are worth it.
