What should I do if my family and friends don't think I have a eating disorder but I think I do ?

If you think you have an eating disorder, talk to your family/friends! They can help, but if you don't feel comfortable doing this, talk to a counsellor or therapist. Do what you feel right with, but don't just keep it to yourself!

You know yourself better than anyone else can know you. Most people with an eating disorder take extra effort to ensure that their disorder stays hidden from anyone else, so if you have come to the point where you believe you have an eating disorder then you should begin to take steps to make sure that you address it and begin to seek out the help that you need. The longer you allow it to grow the harder it will be to recover from in the long run. You are worth help and you deserve recovery!

Please get some help even if you don't see it they are seeing the signs you need help please do this for you

You know you best. If you think you need help, or you think something is wrong, seek help. Whether it be an online resource, or someone you can speak to face to face. It's better to be sure of something so serious. I'd recommend doing as much research as you can, and speaking to someone. If you can't speak to someone in your area, there are numerous online therapists to turn turn to.

Have an open conversation with them and tell them deep down how you really feel. Express your concerns and your worries and discuss with them what you can do to determine whether you do have one or not.

I'd always recommend sitting them down and talking to them. If they don't understand explain what your eating disorder means, how it shows, how it affects you and what they can do to help you. If they still don't believe you find a support net, a group of people taht do understand you. Visit group therapy for example

Try and talk to your doctor. They know best, and if you have a good one, they'll listen to your concerns and help you find the diagnosis that is best for you. Once you have a diagnosis, it'll be easier to get treatment and support.

You know yourself better than anyone, and if you feel that something is wrong, you have the right to seek help regardless of others' opinions.

Let them know that what you are dealing with is serious. If you Strongly believe that is what you have you should seek help immediately.

If your family and friends don't think you have an eating disorder but you think you do, it is important not to ignore your feelings. Support from your family and friends is sure important and helpful but there are also other kinds of support, like counselling. Plus it could be interesting to go there with one of your relatives, so they can know more about what you feel. Giving them information on eating disorders may also be of help, as there are a lot of false information and opinions on eating disorders and they could understood they are wrong because not enough informed. Finally, asking them to just support you no matter what they believe could also be helpful.
