A member asked:

I wasn't taken very seriously when i confessed my eating disorder and it has gotten worse. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Persevere: Repeat untilyou're taken seriously, check google for eating disorder help groups, look up drs who deal with eating disorders and make your case with your family. Eating disorders generally have other problems attached and are damaging in lots of ways. Don't let it get you.
