You shouldn't feel pressured to tell everyone. Tell your closest friends first and see how that goes. Hopefully, they'll be understanding and supportive. You can write a letter or email so that you can think out what you want to say first. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.rebeccashouse.org I’m glad you’re getting help for your anorexia. You shouldn’t feel pressured to tell everyone.

I would just stick to the basics of how long you expect you'll be gone, whether or not you'll be able to contact them while away or not, and let them know that even though you may not have been able to talk to them about anorexia before hand that you'll be willing to answer questions (when you get back). If you're finding it too difficult, you could always ask your parents to talk to their parents after you've left. Good luck with recovery!<br><b>References : </b><br> I’d write a letter – it will be harder for them to reply immediately afterwards so they won’t have the opportunity to blurt out their first response which may or may not be appropriate.
