Right now I'm in the greatest mood. Because I just played intense volleyball for about two hours, and I haven't eaten in 14 hours. All I've had today is a bowl of cereal. But...my mood gets better when I don't eat much. And it's bad if I eat a lot. Is that normal?

It's not normal as such.. but it's pretty normal for someone with an ED. I get it too. For me i think it's because i see it as almost achieving something. It's not a good thing though and defintely a sign that you should be getting help. :hug:

Ugh, but I can't get help yet. My mom found out I was purging once, and all she did was scream at me for it...and that's not even the bad part of my problems, so I had to convince her I didn't do it anymore. :/

Parents almost always react badly to things at first, mine did too. If you can get help though, beyond that your parents don't even need to be involved. I take myself to the doctors and my parents know, but pretty much ignore it.

I guess that's true. It's just kinda scary.

No, it isn't normal. You're supposed to feel good when you eat, not the opposite. Have you gotten any help for your ED yet?

I understand it's scary, but really if this carries on they will find out eventually. Do it now whil youstill have a certain amount of control over how and when they find out xx
