Q. This has been my issue since 5th grade but I cannot find any centers. I am absolutely scared and am begging these centers for help but none accept medicaid. Can anyone help me?
A. NOT likely. Your best choice is to look for support groups like Overeaters Anonymous and counselors in your area. There are multiple online resources as well.
Good luck!

How to deal with my eating disordered sister?
Q. My older sister (in highschool) has been in and out of treatment centers for her bulimia and depression. I know I should "forgive her" because it is a terrible disease, but I am honestly fed up with her behavior. She is constantly lying to avoid eating (sleeping to avoid meal times, lying she is sick). Also she gained weight while getting treatment so she is trying to lose the weight again by avoiding eating but my parent don't know. When my parents tell her to eat, she screams and ruins the whole mood of the house. She also binges/purges in front of me and I am just sick of watching her slowly kill herself and refuse treatment. My parents give her everything she wants (designer bags, not eating, waking up late, not going to school) just so she would stop screaming/breaking glass because it is so scary when she gets mad. I told my mom that she is ruining my sister's life by giving her everything she wants and my mom said that it is the only way that she can deal with my sister... doesn't make sense right?
Meanwhile, she ALWAYS compares me and her because I am naturally very thin and have a fast metabolism. She always has to eat less than me , exercise, etc and it is making me very anxious, as I don't want to become disordered like her.
She is moping around all day and then gets crazy during the night. My parents are so tense around her too and I just can not deal with her anymore, using up all of the family money. ALso, she is always chatting people on facebook/asking for sympathy by lying. Any tips on how to cope? Should i just move out haha?

A. Dietitian is the best to consult in such situations.
Is recovery even possible for binge eating disorder?
Q. I've had it since 5th grade and no treatment centers accept my insurance. I am scared.
A. It's a very difficult journey, I'll tell you that. I'm a recovering bulimic and personally I feel as though it's never going away fully. I've stopped purging for a while but I still have my tendencies and habits that I had before, like checking if I gained weight or turning my back to the mirror when I'm getting dressed. You should try to find a counselor that accepts your insurance, if not there's a lot of hotlines and stuff. Good luck<3
