TW maybe My body image has completely plummeted. Everyone talks about treatment because of my heart, but I’m just sick of it. I hate my body. I need to lose weight, but I don’t know how to without being caught, so it’s a never ending struggle.

@crimsonIdea5687 - you say that your body image has plummeted and you need to lose weight, but I would argue what you actually need is ways to boost your body image. In my experience, one of the nasty things about eating disorders is no matter how much you lose, it never feels like enough and body image doesn't get better. But recovery actually allows you to change how you feel about yourself while you get healthy. I know that likely seems impossible to believe right now, but to think of it a different way - so far the eating disorder hasn't made you feel happy or better, right? after all, you said your body image has plummeted. Even if you don't believe it will work, isn't it worth giving something else (recovery) a shot?
