Re: i just found my sisters eating disorder blog - April 10th 2011, 01:53 AM

Hey, first off, Welcome to TeenHelp.
I'm Kaylaaa Marie.

This is a really safe place to just reach out to other teens and people who have gone through a lot of similar things or expierences. I hope that you'll like it here a lot.

Okay, about finding your sister's eating disorder blog, just take some deep breaths. I'm sure it isn't easy to find out your sister has an eating disorder but it's not an uncommon thing for people.

Eating disorders affect million and millions of people all around the World.

I think that what you should do is just start off my talking to your sister about it. Tell her that you found the blog, and that you're obviously really worried about her. Ask her why she feels that she's overweight. Eating disorders are mental illnesses, but they are definitely something that can be cured.

Talk to your sister. I wouldn't run to your mom about it until you talk to your sister, and then maybe if things go really badly when you're talking to her, then maybe take it a step further and talk to your mom about it.

I wish you the best of luck,
and if you ever want to talk about this further, or anything else, at any time,
please feel free to just message me. i'll always be open and available to talk.

Take care of yourself,
-Kaylaaa Marie.


When you can't find your way home,
and when life gets too hard to face on your own.
I will stand as a light through the darkness unknown,
I will walk with you, so you're never alone.
