How can i hide purging and anorexia from my parents?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't: When a behavior brings you shame & you feel you must hide it, that is a sign that things are going wrong. At least talk to your doc 1st & see if you can begin to work on solutions. You might eventually be surprised to find your folks a source of support. Good luck.
