scared to tell people?

[nnnnnnnnn9999]

Well its been 2 weeks since i started treatment. I havent been loving it but I'm making an effort. So i need some advice. People are asking where I am and stuff and I've come up with excuses like I'm on vaacation. Do you think it would be a good idea to tell people? I'm just scared about people talking behind my back and getting made fun of or something like that.

I was in phyc hospital for about a week, and everyone was asking me where I had been: I told them I had the flu and was in the hospital. I was to scared to tell anyone for fear of being treated like a freak.Chances are you wont get teased for an ED though.
So in other words, If I were you, I would tell my friends only.

...If you don't mind me asking, what is treatment like? What do you do?

When I was hospitalized for the second time,it was during school,so everyone was asking what happened,where i was,ext. The teachers more then likely where informed so not to ask any uncomfortable questions,but as for everyone else,i only told one person at first,but then I told my friends,and they kept quiet. Just depends who you can trust. Its totally up to you. To everyone else,i said i had family issues and needed to be outta the city for awhile,or that I was sick. But you should make sure you tell the same thing to people in the same area so they dont question you. But yea,i doubt youd get picked on for having an eatting disorder.

I guess, if you want to tell, you should mainly tell people you trust, especially if they already know about your ED.

Honestly treatment sucks reallly bad. especially if you don't want it. I'm actually in here for cutting too which almost doubles the stress and I wouldn't doubt that I'll relapse after... But I'm not to sure about telling people I just have to tell the right ones I guess, a lot of girls' friends have left because "it was too much baggage" and I'm scared that will happen to me. I've been telling people I'm on vacation.... And if its alright to ask, why were you in a psych hospital for a week?
