My mom and dad trigger my anorexia constantly so I do not know how to get better. What do I do?

Tell them. You have to be open with the people around you in order to recover. I know that it’s awkward, and hard, and terrible trying to tell people things like that, but I think it will truly help you in the end. If that’s not a possibility for you, try finding a safe space for yourself where you can work through this without the judgement/pressure/triggers from your parents. 

If you can go to a doctor to talk about this, please do. It’s always helpful to talk to someone, especially when they are trained to help.

Sorry for the delay dear, and I really hope all is well with you.

Many Asian immigrant families are less inclined to reach out for help until there is a crisis, experts say. “A lot of Asians avoid seeking treatment until the disease is advanced,” said MaJosé Carrasco of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
