Does having the secret of hiding your eating disorder please you? In other words, does hiding your secret make you happy?
I was just wondering. I had a drug problem in my teens and part of the benefit was gratification of having a secret. I was wondering if people with ED felt the same.
Get help, get help now. I had anorexia for several years and nobody knew until the very end. It didn't necessarily make me happy to hide it, I just knew I wouldn't have control if I told someone. I'm 5' 4" and weighed 80lbs, I almost died. Even after I started eating again, I developed severe intestinal problems because my body could not tolerate many foods. I STILL have to avoid certain foods, and it's been nearly 10 years.
