I am 17 and I have been bulimic for the past two years. I just recently told my parents about this and they seemed concerned. They said they would try to find me help. Lately, anytime I bring the subject up my parents ignore me and I know I need help because I feel like I am loosing control. I can't do this without my parent's support and I can't stop by myself. They just don’t understand that I am bulimic.
Perhaps they just don't know what to do or say. I would suggest that you ask your doctor for help also ask your school counselor or school health service to refer you to someone. They can refer you to a psychologist who treats people with eating disorders. Then ask your parents to go with you to the appointment and if they don't go with you, ask a friend who knows your situation. If your parents are unable to help, ask a friend for support. Take care and good luck.
