Hi it's sparrow :)

For quite a long time I've been restricting calories by not eating and even restricting liquids. I can't go one day without planning what I'm going to eat and weighing myself. It's becoming very scary for me and I really want to tell my mom about it but I'm not sure how. Does anyone have any advice on this??

Hello sparrow. I am sorry this has all taken a toll on you. Yes you have to tell your mother. I am glad it crossed your mind. I know it is indeed hard to open up about such a thing, but it is better to take control of the problem before it spirals out of control. I suggest you start by asking her what does she think about eating disorder to gauge her views and opinions about it? Then ask her what will she do if she finds out that you might be suffering from it? Try using hypothetical questions to slowly reach to the main question you would like to ask. I hope you finally manage to open up to her about it because I am sure she will be able to help you get the help you need. Meanwhile, we are all here for you, if you need help, guidance or support regarding your eating disorder.
