if people in my life find this account
Dear family member, I don't like to keep secrets from any of you. We are a southern family; we share everything and care about one another more than life itself. My mental health is the one thing I try to keep from anyone because I don't want to be a burden.
Dear friend, I understand if it's hard to believe I suffer from disordered eating. I definitely don't look the part. Please don't judge me or stop being my friend.
Dear habibi, I am so sorry. I know you think I'm doing better. I know you think I've been okay recently, but I'm struggling. I know you think I don't keep any secrets, but hey-- at least my secret is an account in an eating disorder community and not cheating or murder. I have no excuse. I know it's wrong to keep things like this from you, because I know you'd be there for me in a heartbeat. I just know you're going through a lot right now. Colleges, family things, driving, jobs... life is just starting for us and I don't want to put more on you. I've debated whether or not I should show you this account myself, and I'm still unsure. That's why I decided to make this little disclaimer/notice/apology thing. You mean everything to me. I wouldn't put anything on here that I'd be embarrassed or nervous for you to see; it isn't like a deep, dark secret. I honestly just didn't want to burden you. This also is a place of support and understanding, so don't be worried by the website name. I'm sorry, Joey. Keeping things from you feels horrible. I just needed to be a part of a community that understands how I'm feeling. I know you understand, but I feel as though you may get a little overwhelmed by all the food talk. I'm sorry for doing this, and I'm sorry the apology is so jumbled. I love you. I'm so thankful I have you.
