Anorexia
Quote From: trishab1234Hi my name is Trisha and I am 21 years old with a great husband and two wonderful kids but I have been suffering with anorexia since I was 14 years old and for the past 4 years I was fine with no eating disorder and happy with myself. In the past two weeks I have stopped eating and started abusing laxatives and lost 12 pounds, my height is 5'6 weight now is 142 and i am able to lie to my family about my weight loss because I tell them I am sick or I will eat later. Buy I have a 2 little girls who need their mother and I know if I do not stop i will probably die.
My question to anyone who will answer is should I tell my husband about my eating disorder or continue to live in silent shame waiting for him to figure it out on his own.
Please no judgmental comments I know what I am doing is wrong that is why I am asking for help. HI, I am in the same boat as you. I have been there too. I am 24 and have had anorexia since I was 16. My Husband doesn't know, and only one of my friends do. My husband knows that I used to struggle with it but doesn't know that it is still a big part of my life. None of my family know. I too have a daughter and am struggling with the same question you are. Do I tell or not tell....I do not know how to answer your question. This is something that you have to look into your heart for. I have thought on many occasions about telling him. but then I never do. I fear that he will constantly be on "watch". I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone!
