How do you know if you have an eating disorder? and whom do you think you can confide in?

You need to talk with your family and let them help you get the right treatment. There are several different options that all start with a doctor.

Here are a couple links:

This one is for Bulimia

Take care and don't give up!

well there are alot of ways you know if you have an eating disorder...
you constantly obsess about weight or fear of gaining weight
you bing eat and purge
you simply reduce your food intake
you dont eat at all
you puge after meals
you constantly weigh yourself
you hate your body image....
if you have an eating disorder you try not to eat infront of people for shame and emarassment like eating is a crime, you get easly moody like no one understands, look if you feel you need help with your eating disorder it might be easiest to tell your parents less drama that way..i have be struggling with bulimia for about a year now trust me you'll know if you have one
i hope you try to seek help before it is too late

eating disorders are usually associated with a 'fear' of food. when you look at a burger and fries what do you think??? if these thoughts are horrible and sickening then that could be a sign that you have an eating disorder. the thing is that most people with eating disorders genuinly believe they dont have a problem, so the fact that you are asking this question makes me think that you are fine. whatever happens good luck and be strong x

You could have any number of different eating disorders. What are some of your symptoms? You could confide in a close friend, but a doctor would be much more advisable.

if u suddenly lost 10 pounds rather quickly..random unexplained bruises...throwing up..it kinda depends though...u can confide in family members and friends..they're always there to lend a helping hand
