Should I get Treatment for mi eating disorder?

Question:

Where do I start? I have been dealing with EDNOS for 8 years now. I've been in treatment once before, but I relapsed shortly after coming home. It was such a shocker coming straight home and I didn't deal with it well. About two weeks ago I finally admitted to my therapist that I have relapsed and then she told my father. I wasn't ready for them to know about it, so the rest of the week was literally hell. I hate lying to parents and i hate having them pay for something that is my fault, so i keep trying to seem like im better. And for a little while, physically, I do ok. My clothes begin to fit, i eat normal infront of them, i may not particpate in binge/purge or starving behaviors. But its all in my thoughts. I go crazy in my head. I am always screaming at myself, angry at what a failure i am, i get so uncomfortable around food and freeze when someone sees what i eat. Its so fustrating. I want to get better, but i don't know if i should ask for treatment again?

Answers:
It is not your fault! It is great that you admitted you realpsed. Don't act like your better that will not help you or your loved ones. You are not a failure. As long as you tell yourself that you won't get better...I kept telling myself that for a long time and until I realized that I wasn't at fault I made no progress at all. I had to stop the blame game and get a game plan. You may not have to go into treatment, If you know the tools and can use them on your own with the help of your therapist you might get through it , But don't wait too long. I didn't have to go into treatment, but was very close...I was in the hospital for dehydration a few times, but that's about it. My therapist wanted to send me to treatment but I begged her to give me 2 weeks to get my weight up. And I did, it was a very hard task. I am in recovery now but I still battle everyday with eating...then I battle not to visit the bathroom. I am anorexic/bulimic. Never Let Go OF HOPE. If you aren't able to do it alone ask for treatment.

Yes you should ask for help again. Be sure you choose a place that has good aftercare to lessen the risk of relapse.

today i told my mother some of he same things except i overeat..sometimes me & food don't get along.she told me to just stop pretending..stop pretending that everything is okay..just give up & surrender all. Pray about it also..ask your parents to help you again..you just gotta keep on believing that with God, your therapist & your family get better..it just takes time.
