1st step - and scared stiff!! :(

Options
I have just been chatting on Facebook to my Dad. He doesn't live in the same country as me but I'm going to visit soon. I have told him I need to tell him something and to make sure that I tell him when I get there. This is to make sure I actually do it this time.

I have an eating disorder...i flit from severely undereating to severly overeating all the time. binges and starvtion seem to be my way of life and its wrecking the amazing life I should have. Im at uni, have a great boyfriend, lovely house and great friends. I'm ruining it all through this horrible vicious cycle of self destruction i am in. I have never told anyone, instead just sufferered the comments and critisism about my weight and eating habits.

Im hoping this is the first step, telling my dad. He lives in a different place and o it will be easy to speak to him without other people knowing. But I'm so scared...can anyone offer any words of encouragement or support?
