I’ve struggled with anorexia since I was in seventh grade, I’m now a Sophomore in high school, and I’m tired of being tired all the time. I’m tired of my body not giving me normal cues to eat. I’m tired of feeling nauseous at the thought of eating. I’m tired of not being able to imagine eating three meals in a day, most the time I only eat one. I’m just so very tired.

I’ve considered telling my family about my anorexia, but I don’t think it’d go very well. They wouldn’t understand and would probably just force me to eat without trying to understand why it’s so hard for me in the first place. I think it’d make things worse. I just don’t think I’m getting better, though. I’m getting better with my self harm, I’ve been sober for a little over two months, but I can’t seem to get a grip on my eating disorder..

If your kid told you they had anorexia, how would you react? What would you do? 

It’s so lonely and I’m tired of being tired..

If anyone has any advice that’d be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this far. &lt;3
