When to get help...

Hi. My name is Kelsey. I'm 25, 5'3 and now 95 lbs. I work full-time and travel for my job 10 months out of the year (normally once a month, but I had 6 trips between August and September this year). The actual store can get quite busy, and being the manager, I had to skip my lunch hour every now and again. It started getting worse, and I just about skip lunch every single day. Sometime I skip breakfast and lunch and just drink a ton of coffee to keep myself going. I get really uncomfortable eating in front of people (including my husband) and I eat the tiniest portions of food now. I've never calorie counted or anything like that, but I did dance for 14 years (2 years with a professional ballet company) so I am used to looking at my tiny body. Once I stopped dancing I lost a lost of my muscle definition and I have hated how my body has looked...

It's gotten to the point now where it is affecting me on a daily basis. I am always cold at my job, my hair is starting to fall out, if I eat too much I get constipated so bad I almost call an ambulance because the pain is unbearable. And on top of that I am dealing with Major Depression and Severe Anxiety and this has made them 1000x's worse.

I am so scared to reach out and get help. I had always been that girl people thought had an ED, and now that IS me and I'm just beyond terrified and anxious about asking for help. I also don't want to seem like I'm "looking for attention." My mother is very judgmental and had absolutely NO sympathy towards me when I had a miscarriage, so I've resorted to just not telling her a thing about my life atm....

Any advice would be super appreciated ❤️
