My brother has completely retracted into his old, unsociable self over the past few months and it’s causing a lot of concern for my parents. His eating is disordered and he never really leaves his room. We all eat dinner together every night, and he always gives himself a tiny portion and scoffs it down and retreats to his room, then comes back downstairs later and eats a lot more *unhealthy* food. Or at random points during the day he’ll make 4 people’s servings worth of pancakes for himself or a bowl of porridge with a huge amount of syrup. I myself have been struggling massively with my relationship with food this year; counting calories, restricting, binging, exercising as punishment for ‘over eating’, and purging after eating (no matter how much or little I ate). I have to be okay in front of my parents because they have my brother to worry about already, but I struggle so much when I don’t want to eat dinner, or can’t purge because they might hear me. And my brothers habits are just exacerbating my problems. I don’t want to lay my problems on my parents when they’re concerned about my brother, especially because I make it seem like I’m absolutely fine. It’s so hard to be the *unproblematic* one all of the time.

Please see a doctor to get help for yourself. Don't take notice of your brother's eating habits. He can get help if he wants to.
