At what point do you think it is time to get help for an eating disorder?

As soon as you realize that majority of your habits are being self induced i.e. going on huge eating binges, vomiting, starving you must set yourself up to seek professional help.

I think it is time to get help when the eating disorder starts conflicting with your life. When you can't enjoy the things you used to, or you can't go places. Or when you start to have medical problems. Seeking help earlier is better, but it is never too late.

I believe that the best time to get help for an eating disorder is when you finally realize that you have one. It's hard to admit that you have an ED and I knew that once I finally realized that I had one, I felt different about myself and knew I needed help

From the very first meal you skip. If you are purposely not eating, it is a problem. Hurting your body isn't a good thing.

When you start to see bad changes or you think you have one. Get help as soon as possible, because it could get out of control very fast. Just like a wildfire.

The earlier the better! Eating disorders whether its over eating or under eating can be life threatening! I suggest you get help right now. If you're nervous I understand, but you really need help. Good luck! :)

At the point where you feel like food is the enemy, and that if you eat you'll ____ etc. If you know that you have an unhealthy relationship with food, it is time to seek help.

i think any time is the right time. when you feel like something is wrong and its controlling a lot of things in your daily life like your thoughts, how you function, just beyond your disordered ways of eating, its good to go and get help. but really, as soon as you think you might have a problem in the slightest and are comfortable with it, you should get help! :) you deserve mental well being and to be the healthiest and happiest!

Only you can be the judge of that. If you are tired of suffering all alone it is good to reach out to family and friends who you know will support you. If you are thinking about seeking help as a parent or trusted adult to help you seek professional help.

As soon as you feel it interferes with your health or happiness. The sooner you reach out thr better.

At the point you are thinking about it. The early you find help, the faster you will recover. You will also avoid complications so it's a win-win! Good luck! Kimly

At the point where you find out about it because it's better to prevent than to cure. You could start of with yourself then ask others for help when you think you can't controlt anymore

When you realize you have one. As soon as you think you might have one. NO psychologist will hate you for talking to them. It's better to find help as early as possible.

The time that you come to know that you have one and/or that the disorder is affecting how you see yourself and your quality of life. Don't wait!

When you start having the symptoms, as in a thigh gap becomes your obsession. Its unhealthy. That's when you should get help

Once you realize you are experience unnatural eating habits, you should get help right away. It could be the difference of life or death. I know it is a hard choice, but it is worth it.

i think that as soon as you think that you might have a eating disorder its time to reach out for help cause neglection or denial of it will only worsen it , its indeed tough to reach out for help but in the end it will be worth it

The earlier you catch it, the better. Eating disorders like to trick us into thinking we aren't sick enough to get help. But there's no quota to meet to deserve help. If you realize you have one, THAT'S the time to get help.

The second you can admit you have one. Eating disorders are serious problems and the sooner you get help the better off you'll be in the long run. The issue with EDs is when left untreated they can be life-threatening and sometimes develop to a point where reversing them becomes a long rather difficult process. Please get help as soon as you can.
