   Hi,

   I havent had any direct experiences such as yourself but my younger sister has just been released after being detatined in a hospital under the mental health act so i have been doing some research about it and learning how to be stronga nd helpful to my siser

   You sound incredibily astute, and have such insight into your feelings which i believe is a huge positive. My sister denied her behaviour and feelings and she only got worse. once she began being more open about it and actually accepted that she was having some mental health issues she really began to progress.

    She still has mental health problems but as we (mum,bro,sis etc) all know about it we can help her through it and can talk about it with one another. You could try and tell yourr mum as you never know she may make it easier for you?i speak openly about my sisters mental health issues (with her permission) we as a family decided to be open and frank with close friends and other family members, not only to try and break taboos and stigmas but to get any advice or any snippets of info as we could from others that could help us along the way.

   Sorry for babbling on, but i feel that you sound such an illegient insightful person that you can beat this and you can carry on and lead a happy life. ignore comments form others about your weight and focus on you and what you and most importantly ask for the help you need, shout it from the roof tops as you will and can be happy.

   your younger sister needs you and you need her
