Anorexia and fear: I think it is very common to worry about telling another human about those things that scare us and possibly even bring us shame. But, only in asking for help can we truly begin to heal. In general those in medicine are there for altruistic reasons and are prepared to be non-judgmental and to be inclined to get you help. If you are afraid, use that to ask for help.

Talk to someone.: It's very important that you share this information with your doctor-take along a friend if you need moral support. Not only do you need a health exam and blood tests but you also will benefit from referrals to the right specialists in your area who are experts at treating this serious illness. Please tell - you will receive help and support. There is nothing to fear.
