It’s no secret that teen eating disorders are on the rise. Anorexia in teens and bulimia symptoms are showing up at younger ages all the time.

Can’t wait to share a story? Go to the form right now!

If you’re a teenager and suffering from anorexia or bulimia – I have good news for you!! – Today is the day that you can begin to get help for your eating disorders!

Okay, I know. You’re thinking that’s hardly good news, right?

Well, even if you’ve been keeping your eating disorder a secret, the first step to recovery and freedom might just be a post in this forum

Teens and eating disorders don’t mix. If you’ve never been able to share your story with an adult, like a parent or teacher, then perhaps you’ll feel more at ease sharing it here.

You don’t have to give your real name – or any name if you don’t want to.

The most important thing is for you to share with somebody. Keeping secrets – especially if they’re bulimia symptoms or symptoms of anorexia can be downright dangerous.

So let’s take the first step, shall we? Grab your favorite beverage (mine is usually coffee), and let’s go! … before ya change your mind… you know how that is.

And to the rest of you – if you’re comfortable with sharing your experiences, we need to hear those too – especially if you’re further along in your recovery.
