How can i tell my friends/family about my eating disorder?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Everyone's unique: For some this might be easy. For some, it is not easy, but they really want to. For others, it may be a bad idea. If you think it will help you even if it's hard, you can make it a small non-detailed comment. "in case you've been concerned, i wanted to tell you that i've been dealing with some eating issues. I'm trying to get it straightened out and want you to care, but not to worry." best!
