Answer 1

You are right, this will affect you. You are right, it will be a LITTLE part of you. Congratulaitons on seeing the bright side! You are obviously commited to working this out and moving on.
Parents, especially contemporary American parents, have such a hard time with the notion that their children's lives will not be perfect, or even close.
We have our own guilt (my son's twelve) and insecurities.
Your mom may need a little professional help in learning to see the person in you- the person who will have as rough a life as anyone, not the child who is supposedly totally protected from harm while under her wings, her roof.
She does need to understand.
Hope you both get the rest of the help you need to make this situation a livable one, that sinks into the background over time.

Answer 2

U need to figure out why anorexia has taken over your life and find someone else to talk to about it like a school counsellor or another mum.

Answer 3

Well i used to be anorexic. But just eat a little more each day. If you dont eat completley them maybe try a snack here or there. Then work yourself up to meals. Hope that helps!

Answer 4

You need to seek help so that you can understand your Anorexia. It is an illness and one that you can die from but is 100% preventable.

Answer 5

tlk 2 a close adult friend about it
or a family friend or relative

she'll/ he'll understand and will explain it 2 your mum.
