I am afraid to go into treatment for my eating disorder. How else can I beat this?



I am already seeing a counselor. I just feel like a failure. I just want to give up but I know that I have a purpose for my life and I dont want this to become me. Please help!

You are not a failure! You are just struggling with a really tough problem right now.

Maybe you can talk through your fears of treatment with your counsellor. A big part of it could just be fear of the unknown and not knowing what to expect there. Additionally, you could ask the treatment centre for some of their pamphlets, daily schedules, or even a tour of their facility. That may soothe your nerves a little. Also, if you can cut down on some of the behaviours even a little before you go, it will help a lot.

I can guarantee you that every single person going to treatment the 1st time is scared also. Change and recovery are not easy, but they are possible.

It also helps to remember that it is a treatment facility, not jail. You can still walk out of there and find another way if it is not working for you.

Just realize that they are not going to pull the rug out from beneath you. By this I mean that they are not taking away your means of coping, they are just aiming to replace them with healthier tools than you are currently using.

I am sure your counsellor can find a way to let you move at a pace that is comfortable for you. It is good that you are seeing her. Do not give up on that.

I hope this helps somewhat. Take care - you are worth it!Forgo your fear and get treatment!! TRUST me they ONLY want to help you...Do it TODAY!!!
get a job! keep yourself busy! develop confidence! low self esteem is one major root of all eating disorder
it would help a lot if you provide us with some info (do you like to eat? do you not like eating?)
don't feel like a failure!!!
dont, your life is not worthless. Go see a doctor or a counsler immiadiatley, they'll help you overcome your disorder
There is no other way to overcome this exept for outside help. Talk to a pastor or religious leader if that would be any better. Unless you want to die or soemthing, go see someone.
