Non binary, Neptunic, Asexual, Eating Disorder, Depression and Shunned From Society

[Blight]

I am a young non binary neptunic asexual with an eating disorder and moderate depression. I’ve tried to tell my friends but they say I’m just overreacting. Only two people believe me (plus several therapists). They are the saints known as Ash and Ava.
Everyone else has called me a drama queen. They say it’s just a phase. They say I can’t have a sexuality and still be asexual.

The eating disorder has gotten worse and worse and right now I’m just a stick who fakes forgetting their lunches and hides in the shadows. The only people who support me are Ash and Ava. It’s scary when you’re suffering through this alone. Right now, I’ve lost 3kg. I’m an 11 yr old with the weight of 37kg.

I’m scared that I might have to tell my parents about it and that I’ll have to go to hospital at some point. I’m scared that I’ll be called a liar by my own family. I’m scared that I’ll loose the closest people I have.
