Eating Disorder Getting Worse + School

@myparalleluniverse that is honestly so upsetting that your teacher expects you to share what you eat with him and the rest of the class. If it's possible, tell him you would like to pass on the assignment because that is personal information that you'd like to keep between you and your doctor. But I think you should still talk to your school counsellor. They can be really helpful, and unlike teachers, they won't force you to share anything you don't want to. Getting help is really important and you deserve that so here's one last push to get the help you deserve! <3

@neatSail7184 Thank you! The assignment is a part of my end of year grade to get into university so it isn't really possible to miss out completly, but I don't understand why we have to do a food diary and share it with him and the class. He also keeps repeating the fact that we should be reading labels for all food that we eat and keep them to bring it in to our next lesson - which is frustrating because thats exactly what I am trying not to do as it just triggers my ed behaviours. Its so frustrating that they don't even consider the effects it may have :( Thank you for your reply!

@myparalleluniverse wow that really sucks =[ my first thought when reading your post is that you should fake your food diary. It sucks that he makes you get so into the details of it, but at least you would be able to keep your actually food diary secret.

Another option, at my university, we have student disability services. They help us talk to our teachers if we have mental or physical needs. If you talk to a counselor at school and explain the situation, perhaps they can help you discuss an alternative assignment with your teacher.

A side note, if you're a minor, teachers are required to report if they believe you're in danger. If your teacher sees that you're consistently not eating, he will probably confront you about it, and might report it to counsellors. If you talk to counselors first, you can talk about what's going on in your own terms, and possibly avoid the trauma of doing that ridiculous assignment.

I get it I mean I in the past I have had inconsistent eating days we

@myparalleluniverse

We had the same assignment. It's very triggering could u maybe talk to ur teacher to do another assignment or get A/N on that section.

Personally i made it up because I'm still a minor so my parents would get involvedand it was very triggeing if i count it .i would suggest talking to ur teacher. Maybe u could get a note from ur doctor.
