I think my parents know I have an eating disorder
I struggle with bulimia and have developed a habit of vomiting in my room after dinner to avoid my parents overhearing and asking questions. I've managed to keep this hidden for weeks, even months, without getting caught. Unfortunately, my stepmother recently snooped into my room and found the bag I used. Just to clarify, I had planned to dispose of it the next day but forgot in a rush. Now, I'm worried my parents will confront me about having an eating disorder, or even suspect I'm pregnant, and threaten to send me to a mental hospital. I feel paranoid and want to avoid interacting with them, but that's not possible.
Well you do need help. That is fir certain. Eating disorders are nothing to fool around with or ignore. If your parents confront you just come clean. Don't think you can fool them or insult their intelligence. I'm sure they want what's best for you and if they offer help,... accept it and commit to it. It's the only way you will get well.
