Hi, PicturePerfect, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). It's a good community to come to for such issues. Sounds like you're really having a rough patch in your life. I'm glad you're fairly healthy now.

Do you have any professors you really like that you think might be able to help or steer you in the right direction where you are? When I was in college I got close to a couple professors (which helps anyway with getting needed recommendations, etc. for grad school) and did research with one, etc. That might be a stopgap and first move instead of having to go to counseling somewhere you're not familiar. Just mentioning you have an "eating problem" when you're out with friends or around someone you trust might garner you some additional information about where you are and services available and what someone else has done, etc.

When I was suicidal my girlfriend made an appointment with her "boss," a professor in the Health Department of the University and he listened to my story (with my girlfriend there for support :-) and made some recommendations that got me on my way.
