oh honey, i am sorry to hear you are feeling this way, i am 17, female, and i would love to be your friend. i almost lost my mother to anorexia, but she went into hospital and it really helped her! it saved her life!
i have also been locked up in a mental hospital for attempting suicide. i suffer depression and i am a self harmer and i am very suicidal!
life sucks... i know that, i cant tell you that i understand because i dont, and i am so sick of people telling me that they understand how im feeling, when they dont!
but i can tell you i know what its like to want to die! and have no one understand!
you have already taken the hardest step, admitting your anorexia, and coming on here to ask questions! no one will expect you to just snap out of it, and if they do, send 'em to me and i'll give 'em a piece of my mind!!! it may take time hun, but the help is out there, its just your choice whether you take it or not. thats kinda where im at, i know i need help, and im getting help, but it just isnt helping because i just want it to end, not get better!!! but hey, apparently there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
keep you chin up, hun... you can do it, be strong and brave... and i know you are because it shows courage to ask for help!!!

First of all, while you might not see it this way, you should be thankful that your parents are getting involved in your life. It might be due to your lack of friends that you have anorexia. At the treatment center, my guess is that you will meet with medical professionals and other people with anorexia. They will all be able to help you understand anorexia and learn to deal with your problems. At the same time, you will probably make good friendships with the other girls who have been sent there to recover. To be honest, if I were you, I would look forward to this experience. I know it seems scary now, but it doesn't have to be. Just go there with a good attitude and have a sense of humor at yourself and be open to sharing your feelings with others and be willing to listen to others. You will find someone there in worse shape than you are. It will give you strength and hope and when it is over, you will feel better about yourself.
There is a day of happiness waiting for all of us. It only seems it won't come, but one day you will wake up and be thankful you survived the sadness, loneliness, and most desperate times of your life.

It is okay to be scared. And remember that our parents love us and want to do what is best for us. When we hurt ourselves sometimes we need help. A treatment center is great because there will be many other people there who have gone through the same thing, even other people from middle school. You will be okay.
