Dear Jemily~

I'd like to welcome you here to the Forum, I'm glad you came as it sounds as if your situation is not good.

 

In fact I think you are right, you do need assistance as your eating problem is probably more than you can deal wiht all by yourself. Getting in early is a good thing, before you body suffers too much and it becomes a way of life.

 

You are also probably right that being treated so badly has resulted in this and I'm happy you are out of that toxic relationship now. Can I ask if you are now in a good relationship and have others to understand and support you? Does you family have anyone you can go to who will care and take action straight away to help?

 

It's very hard to try and go this alone.

 

I'll make a couple of suggestions that I think might help, the first is a specialist organisation dealing with  eating problems, a friendly lot

and the second is a very capable and comforting organization that can help get over the after effects of a bad relationship and is familiar wiht all the problems younger persons can face (including eating)
