Talk to your therapist, ask for the help you need - realising what is happening is the first step to starting on the path to recovery - you can get better x

Coolcat.

Why do you feel you are getting worse? Have you shared this information with your therapist or current doctors? If not, please do so immediately. No one should have to live the pain you are feeling!!!

I've tried telling my therapist, she's trying to explain anorexia to my parents who aren't listening! That means that I'm left to my own devices!

Remember you are never alone!!!! Your parents love you, its just they truly may not understand and its their coping mechanism at the moment. Keep talking....They will come around. Be strong and love each day but most importantly love yourself!!! You are such a gift to many!!
