I’ve had Anorexia since last September sometime. Don’t worry, since my mom makes me eat at least one meal a day, I haven’t lost a substantial amount of weight. Because when I was attempting self treatment I gained 5 or 6 pounds back on but, I’m back to my starvation. I have been for at least 2-3 months now. And since I will have a stomach ulcer if I don’t eat, which I won’t.Not enough anyway. I want to get treatment for my Anorexia but, I’d like to wait until July to start treatment. And I’d like to know is it alright or should I start getting treatment any time after school ends on June 17th?
my mom’s at work in the morning when I get up and she can’t watch me at lunch when I’m at school can she? no.
II know that it’s 2 weeks away. I just want to wait a litle bit longer that’s all.
I didn’tsay inpatient or outpatient because I’m not sure which one to go to. Mostly because I haven’t found anything in Surrey, Canada. I probably will end up going t one out of Surrey if I have to though.
If you are thinking about treatment then you know you have a problem.
You need to deal with it now! The long term affect of eating disorders on yours body are awful and some irreparable.
Your family will be hurt when they find out so go get help now and when you are ready tell your mother.
I had anorexia and bulimia and the affect on my body are awful – no periods for almost a year has left me infertile and chances are I will hit menopause before I am 30. My teeth are horrible the vomit rotted my back teeth. Kidney infections – damaged due to dehydration, IBS due to laxatives.
Start your road to recovery now don’t wait – its a cliche but food does help you think and exams. Don’t screw up your future to be thin – its not worth it.
Good luck x
Honestly, when it comes to Anorexia you should definitely get treated ASAP! Anorexia, if not treated, can get worse, as you must kknow, to a point where the body feeds off its own fat, and if continued, then it can result in permanent damage. Get it as soon as you are able to.
Good luck!!

First, you will get more than just a stomach ulcer if you continue this.
Second, what kind of mother do you have!? She should be doing more than just making you eat one meal per day!!
Last, June 17th is not 3-4 weeks away. It’s less than 2 weeks away.

I have been struggling with my eating problems since last October, and for a while no one was forcing me to eat (people are now) and I was weighted a week ago and I have lost about 57 pounds since then (went from binge eating to anorexia, so am still a little on the heavy side). If you are still eating at least one meal a day, I think you can wait until you are out of school, because if you go before hand, you may not be able to finish school. But maybe not wait til July, how about go the week after you get out and go and start getting treatment? I know there will be people that will not agree with me, but as a person that is suffering as well, I know how the body is affected first hand. I know that it may not be the wises thing to wait, but if you miss the rest of the school year, that could add too much stress to your life and make it so that the treatment does not work right, or you may relapse easier. I am thinking of the long term goal for you, and I say you can wait a little longer and finish your school year. Then once that is done, there will be nothing really in the way of you getting better.
Good luck with what ever you choose.

Go now. I don’t know how old you are, but if you’re old enough to decide what you eat, you’re old enough to watch yourself.

You don’t say if it’s inpatient or outpatient. I know the longer I waited the more terrified I would get, no matter what I said to people. I might say yes I’ll get treatment in two weeks, but I’d keep pushing the date further back. I usually went into treatment crying and fighting. I hated it. I couldn’t stand being forced to eat.
In time, and after a couple inpatient stays, something happened and I began to heal. You will too if you’re willing, you say you are, and I hope you’re ready. I hope you don’t have to struggle with anorexia as long or as hard as I did. Good luck to you sweetie. God Bless you and your mom.
