I feel so bad.
Lately i've been thinking that I have an eating disorder, for a month. A few days ago I decided to tell one of my online friends i've known for two years about it. I've thought I had an eating disorder in the past, and I told her about it.
She said it was my fault for not eating.
When I told her this time, it didn't go much better.
She put my problems aside as if they were nothing.
And when I signed on myspace today, I saw a bulletion from her that she was takeing a break from the computer. She said shes only talking to one person, because she doesn't make her depressed unlike anyone else.
I feel like an idiot. I know its only an online relationship, but it means alott to someone who doesn't have many friends.
So, now I'm here. I don't feel like I can trust any one, now, and I really need to tell my mom I'm feeling this way. But I'm terrified. The conversation I had with that friend was... horrible. I ate virtually nothing the next day. I'm so scared she won't understand.
Help?

Honestly, if someone is willing to make fun of you or put down something that is important to you, they don't sound like a very good friend. She sounds more like a fair weather friend to me (someone who wants to chat when things are good and then ditches when they have to listen).
You can't let what one person says prevent you from getting help if you need it. Just tell your mom that you need to talk about something that is very important to you. Then, sit down and explain what is going on. You can't get any help if no one knows what is wrong. Also, with most things, it is easier to deal with them sooner instead of waiting until something goes wrong.
Good luck talking to your mom. Hopefully she is understanding.

Fair weather friend? Never heard of that term before, but i'm pretty sure she is.
Thank you a ton.
Thanks again, I'll need it.

AraTeran has already given some really good advice and I'm not sure I can add to it but I completely agree with her. If you think that you have a disorder then you probably do so don't go thinking you're jumping to conclusions and that it's your fault your friend ditched you. It was incredibly rude and completely wrong of your friend to push your problems aside like that and blaming you for your problem. If anyone is at fault it is your friend not stepping up to the plate to help you in your time of need. Your last resort is going to a counselor if things don't go well with your mom either, but hopefully she will be understanding. Good luck and take care!!

Killer ducky I feel so bad. Lately i've been thinking that I have an eating disorder, for a month. A few days ago I decided to tell one of my online friends i've known for two years about it. I've thought I had an eating disorder in the past, and I told her about it. She said it was my fault for not eating. When I told her this time, it didn't go much better.

I ate virtually nothing the next day. I'm so scared she won't understand. Help? Thats not a friend. But more importantly, if you have an eating disorder then you can stop it. Most people are in denial about them and continue, yet you believe you have it so now you can pay closer attention to what you're doing that makes you think this way.

A true friend, online or otherwise, wouldn't take something like that so lightly. It is NOT your fault, and it's a shame that she would simply refuse to talk to you because you don't speak of simply sunshine and rainbows. I've never had an eating disorder but I know it's a very serious illness and if you confided in her and she blew you off that makes her a very, very bad friend. I would talk to a guidance counselor, a teacher, a therapist, a parent..someone about your problem. Even though your friend is not making it seem like it is a big deal, it is, and you should always put your health first.

First of all, she's not a friend.
And it sounds more like an anxiety disorder than an eating disorder.
[[I have both. Anxiety caused the eating one.]]
Usually for people who over-eat or under-eat because of their mood have an anxiety disorder.
I am an over-eater.
I take part in an EDO group every week.
There are girls there who have become anorexic because of their anxiety in their life.
See someone about anxiety before you make any haste with the eating disorder.
Your problem could be simple instead of what you see it to be.
