Everytime i feel like i'm getting better, it just gets worse. Just two friends know what has been going on. I don't want to tell my parents because so far i tried to tell them and they want to call a therapist but then they say last minute i'll get better myself. I truly wanna believe i can get better myself, but little did they know i've been like this for over a year. I don't have the guts to ask for a therapist, because they don't wanna call. There are some things i don't even want to tell a therapist (when i get one). Should i just ask my parents if they maybe can call? And if yes how do i ask them? Maybe i should just wait for like a week and see how it goes.
Please lmk
lots of love xx

I struggle with something similar. My parents think I can get better from my eating disorder and depression on my own, and I have somewhat, but I relapse a lot. They don't really think I need help. But, I am now 19, and finally thinking about finding a therapists maybe through my college because that help is free for me. It takes a lot of courage for me to even think of going to a therapist because I am a private person and dislike sharing my thoughts and scars to a complete stranger. Maybe you are similar idk. But, anyway...your parents seem more convinced that you need help since they were close to calling a therapist, which is good because I think they would call a therapist if you sat down and had a serious conversation about your need for help. Relapsing is no joke. It is terrifying and everything feels hopeless. If you are relapsing, I think getting help would save you from a lot of pain. Because I've been there and getting back up from the worst you've ever been feels like utter despair. Repeating something similar over and over hurts even more. Cycles are hard to break, and I think we both could use help. After all, there's nothing wrong with needing help. Please talk to your parents because this is a serious issue, and your health is important.
ReplyThank you so much for sharing this! I'm similar in the way with not liking to share my thoughts and scars to a stranger, i dont even like to tell my parents. I've told it all to one person, but i was so scared that he'd look at me differently if i told him, which he didn't, he was shocked but was there for me, and cares. I wish i had the guts to tell my parents the same, but i already feel like i'm not good enough just because i feel so down and low all the time that all i can do is feel so exhausted by doing nothing, they just think i'm lazy. The times they wanna call, they instantly refuse to call just because they don't wanna. I'm too scared to ask for help.
I have to be honest but this message makes me wanna ask for help, i just don't know how. We could both use help. And i truly hope you'll get better and recover soon from you're eating disorder and depression! I've never been diagnosed with anything but i can speak of a eating disorder and maybe even depression and anxiety as well. I hope that 2021 will give you (and me) the chances to recover! Lots of love!!
ReplyFind a therapist and trust them. If you cannot open up and be honest with a therapist they cannot help you. At the very least, tell your therapist there are things you afraid to tell them.
