It's funny--a few weeks ago I sort of "diagnosed" myself with Binge Eating disorder. You would think that I would improve now that I know I have an issue with it...but since I've realized that I have it, I feel like it's gotten worse. I feel like I'm waiting for someone to stop me. I need someone to tell me to stop. But no one knows, really. I've kind of hinted about it to my mom, but I'm not sure she realizes the extent. I need someone to notice and firmly tell me to stop. I think I would then.
Well, if it helps - I think you should stop. Also, parents are often in denial that anything is wrong with their children. I hinted at my mom that I was losing weight rapidly and she didn’t say anything. Then I finally told her what was happening and I finally started getting proper help. From then on we called her “Queen of Denial.”
You aren’t going to get help until you tell someone - it’s really hard but you can do it :)
