I feel embarrassed

maybe them knowing is a good thing because you might be able to get help? you could tell them about how you're struggling and let them help you. i wish my parents could know, i tried telling them but they think i throw up involuntarily... i don't know how to bring it up to them that i have eating issues in this way so i definitely feel you and i know this isn't easy as it sounds. i hope everything will be okay and one day we won't be struggling with this anymore. ❤️

@joyyy123 it's okay to feel this way about them finding out <3 it's understandable. what you're going through is a struggle for you, and for your family to find out about it can make it feel even worse, i get it. it can be hard knowing that your family is aware of these things, especially if they find out themselves. but i believe in you and things can get better <3 maybe they can help you, i hope. you have our support <3 also, if you are having suicidal thoughts, please refer here for a crisis support line as the listeners on 7 cups are not trained to help with situations like these.
