    I feel bad not doing it for you because you have been there when I was depressed and you have given me great advice and I want to do it for you but I don't think I'm bad enough to get help. And plus I don't deserve help, I have put my family though all of this and Im the last person to deserve help.

    At school. Tell a teacher or your guidance counselor.

    Where did your mom go?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:04 PM
    levylane
    Umm she's just not going to be around much now

  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:11 PM
    levylane
    Yes
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:26 PM
    levylane
    Why?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:28 PM
    Wondergirl
    You ask to see your guidance counselor and you talk with that person.

    What am I supposed to say I throw up and I need help?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:42 PM
    Wondergirl
    Tell him/her you are anorexic and bulimic, don't eat, are starving yourself to death, throw up a lot, take laxatives, and want to be well again.

    I don't think they will be able to help will they I mean I'm sure they are just going to call home and they will let my mom take care of it
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:46 PM
    Wondergirl
    Tell them your mom can't help you and you need a strong adult to help you.

    If I had the school's phone number and your name, I would quickly get help for you. I want you to do this for yourself.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:52 PM

    I feel like me doing that just puts a burden on the school to get me help. I don't even think I deserve help people are so much worse than me.

    If you are going to start spouting excuses and begin whining, I'm finished with this nonsense -- because that is what it has become. If you won't help yourself, there is nothing more I can do.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:57 PM
    levylane
    Okay
  • Aug 29, 2012, 07:58 PM
    Wondergirl
    You'll go to your counselor tomorrow?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:02 PM
    levylane
    Yes
    I don't know what to expect but I will. Now I'm not saying this as an excuse but you don't think I should wait until after schedule changes and after they get settled in before I throw this on them
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:03 PM
    Wondergirl
    Tomorrow.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:08 PM

    So I don't wait?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:08 PM
    Wondergirl
    Tomorrow.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:11 PM

    Tomorrow what?
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:15 PM
    Wondergirl
    Tomorrow. Talk to counselor at school.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:18 PM
    levylane
    Okay
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:19 PM
    Wondergirl
    Let me know what happened.
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:21 PM
    levylane
    Will do thank you for everything
  • Aug 29, 2012, 08:23 PM
    Wondergirl
    I'll be here and waiting. :)

    I talked to the nurse and the Counselor today, I felt like I was going to pass out from not eating so I went to the nurse not expecting to tell them about my eating but I did and so they told the Counselor and she talked to me about my cutting and eating. I will be completely honest I was only eating 5-10 crackers a day for the past couple of days and today I ate my crackers and then my grandma brought over cookies and I gave in I went on a small binge and ate 6 cookies then got scared and purged them up I hadn't purged in almost a week and I forgot how easy it was. I don't want to get back into purging but I'm afraid I am going to. My Counselor said I need to get help but she didn't offer me help. They called my mom about my cutting and left her a voice mail about it. When my mom asked why I was in the office I told her I was light headed I told her they called her about my cutting and she asked to see my wrist I showed her and she didn't care at all. I could have cut a major vein and she could have cared less. I want to get help for my eating but I can guarantee you she wouldn't care and wouldn't pay for it. She claims "If that's what you want to do with your life fine but don't tell me" I don't know how I'm going to get help if she won't pay? She treats my problems as if their burdens on her. I don't know what to do.

    And the school nurse and counselor said what?
  • Aug 31, 2012, 04:29 PM
    levylane
    That I need to stop I'm to pretty to do that and I need help but they didn't get me help.
  • Aug 31, 2012, 05:37 PM
    Wondergirl
    Call CPS.
  • Aug 31, 2012, 07:17 PM

  • Aug 31, 2012, 07:34 PM

    Tell them about your eating and about the school counselor and your mom and ask what else you can do to get help.
