Let me start of by saying I have a great life. Great family, great parents, some great friends and I would definitely describe myself as somewhat ‘privileged’. 

That’s what confuses me though. I’ve been feeling down. More then down actually. I struggle to fall asleep at night because I’m too busy staring at the ceiling thinking horrible things about myself. Things I shouldn’t be thinking like how worthless I am and that how no one cares for me. I know that this isn’t true but I just can’t help but think it!

It’s gotten to the point where a while back I thought I was so fat and ugly that the only way to cope was to make myself sick in the bathroom. I was caught by my parents and was forced to stop. I’ve relapsed first a short period of time about three or four times now. I haven’t done it in a while so far.

It’s more then that, I’ll answer questions if you guys need more context to help. 

Basically I just want to know what to do to help myself. I don’t know how to approach my parents about this issue because I don’t want to disappoint them.
