I've been trying to get up the courage to tell someone, but this is not how I wanted anyone to find out, and especially not her. She's not going to be supportive, in fact she's been a major trigger for me because she is always making judgmental remarks about how I eat even though she knows I've struggled with restriction in the past.
Even though it might be scary and horrible to go through, do you think having someone find out would force you to seek help? Maybe it's the push you need. I know for me, when I eventually told everyone about my eating disorder, it wasn't really news to anyone, they already kind of knew. I bet she knows more than you think. However if she's going to be a trigger rather than a support, I hope you find someone in your life who can be a support. I know how scary the whole "telling people" process is.
