UPDATE: I told her and she said "lmao no u don't, you're skinny PLUS I work with people who have EDs - you're just Depressed and an attention seeker." Now, I have to get evaluated and explain how my mom is giving me mad anxiety that causes me to starve

my family is the same way. i never want them to find out about my relapse, or any of my other issues in fear they will be judgmental or angry with me. :( therapy has been a life-saver. it is so comforting to have a safe space to vent about my problems & concerns, & also receive the care, resources, & tools i need to get back on track to living a healthy life.

My mom 10yrs later still doesn't know
