I am 31 and have been dealing with anorexia for about 16 yrs off and on. I never asked for help when I was your age because I wanted to be seen as perfect. I have now been in treatment twice and am doing great this time around. I had to miss my daughter's dance recital due to being inpatient, but I had to take care of me in order to take care of her. Sometimes we have to put our lives on hold so we can get the help we need to live our lives. It is not an easy journey, but one that is managable with the right help. I hope you are able to get that help with your mom's approval.
Thank you, I hope you're doing alright. I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling for so long though, I wish you the absolute best luck.

I've just actually talked to her this evening and we've agreed to set up an appointment with my doctor to set up a plan. I feel very relieved and I am so glad some things are going to get resolved.
