Hi,

I am new to this site, my ed clinic suggested it to me. I have been suffering with ed for quite sometime now, it has only been recently that my mum has found out. She found out because she found my diet pills.  i also over exercise. But recently my mum has tryed to take control, which is making everything worse. She tells me when to eat and what to eat, she has banned me from exercising.

I feel lost. I am so scared of gaining weight . I just wish she would understand and back off. I can't talk to her because she dosnt have a clue about the daily torture i have to put up with.

I have always been the quiet one in the family and i have always sunk into the background, but now everyone is in my face, my mum, dad, sisters.. i just cant cope with it.

I want to dissapear, be invisible like i was before. I kills me inside having to put up with this alone but i have no other choice because nobody else understands, they think i am stupid and that it is as simple as just eat. But i cant do it.

I just need advice on how to cope and maybe speak to my mum and help her to understand, i am truely lost in this big world and i dont want to have to be sad anymore.

Help me please.

Heyy, i dont know how old you are but i am 12, nearly 13 and i can REALLY relate to you. My situation is almost exactly the same as yours

My mum thinks she is helping by taking all control from me but she is only making my life hell. i cant do anything, go anywhere on my own, be trusted to eat or anything.

i hope things get better for you and if you wanna chat i am here! x

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.. I am almost 17 btw

I feel better knowing that there is somebody else that knows what i am going through, because right now i feel so alone.. I have nobody that understands me. People just dont get it atall :(

When other people try to take the control away from me i become 10x worse.. :/ then she becomes even more controling because i feel worse :(

Hope your okay, and same for you if you even need to talk.. xx
