I wasn't successful in my purging attempt and I never want to try it again. It was a horrible experience. Anyway, what I want to ask is: should I tell T? I know the obvious answer is yes but I am so ashamed. I also think that if I am never going to do it again what is the harm in pretending it never happened? What should I do?
Definately tell her. The more info she has about you, the more equipped she is at helping you... Pretending it never happened is almost like supressing the memory/emotions/etc.
