Please help me

How do I tell my mom I want to go to the hospital and get help for my ed? I don’t know how to ask her.

[Cameron(billie’s version)]

I would just be straightforward with it but I don’t really know.

[Jenna]

I would just tell her. just be like "I think I need help and I want to be able to get it"

[Winter]

Is your mom aware of your ED? I would start by opening up to her about what you're going through, and then telling her you need help because you don't think you can do it on your own.

I agree with the person above me

[Savannah]

@winter my mother is not aware

[⋆˚࿔Elise ˚⋆]

I would just be super straight forward and tell her about it then say you need help, I think she'll probably understand

good luck <33

[[deleted user]]

yes samee, my mom usually understands stuff like that<3

[Savannah]

I don’t think my mom would understand. I’ve tried to speak up about my other mental problems and she always gets mad at me.

is there another adult figure that you trust/get along with ? you could talk to them

[ella]

and ask for advice

[Daria]

If you have the chance to talk to another adult figure in your life that you trust, I would go to them as well as your mom. Unfortunately, you don't know if your mom will understand or not until you bring it up with her. The best thing to do is be honest and calm with her. Frame it as "I want help, I know I'm going down a dark path," so that she cannot interpret it as a failure on her part. If she does not react well, then it may be necessary to seek help from someone else who can advocate for you.

Do you live in Canada? If so find someone in your life a teacher a trusted adult etc and get yourself there. Or just straight up drive yourself. In Canada doctors will always help no matter what and you don’t have to worry about costs and insurance

[Savannah]

I do live in Canada actually. The only trusted adult I have knows and she’s tried to say stuff to my mom but my mom doesn’t listen, and I can’t exactly drive myself I’m only thirteen haha

[Savannah]

My siblings are much younger then me and I don’t think a 13 year old can put their friend in the hospital haha

Hey ~ I think it’s more important to get the help than to worry about wording it to your mom! Getting the help you need should be top priority! Take care of yourself!! If you really do want to word it to your mom, sit her down and talk to her about it. She’s a mom, her motherly instincts will kick in
