Trigger Warning

I am 15 and have anxiety and depression but recently I have been feeling really sick after meals and for about a week I have thrown up after them. My parents don't know but they are oblivious to many things about me and my mental health. I have cut back my meals but have been for about a month, to the extent where my mother accused me of "starving myself". I am not and I enjoy good it is just me feeling sick is making me eat less because I don't want to throw up. My issue is that I am moving away in September to go to my collage (it is a specialist collage and I'm lucky to get in so I have made the decision to move away for the best chance at life) but my father has decided that I am not "responsible enough" and he cannot "trust" me to do so. I want to tell them about me throwing up but feel like I can't because then they definitely won't let me go. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

If there is something you can eat consistently which you do not react badly to, stick to that food. Also, have you tried any meditation? It might help to keep your nerves down enough to digest your food properly :smile:

I have tried it but I start overthinking and I just get stressed out about it all. I also don't have much time as I am revising for my GCSE's so I am revising alot which I know wontw help but if I don't revise then I have anxiety attacks mid exam because I feel like I haven't done enough and haven't tried my hardest etc. I am just in a loop and don't know how to escape. Also my parents plan a weekly meal plan and they control everything I eat as eating together as a family at the table is a very big thing in our family ( even though I hate it because they watch how much I eat and stuff ) so it is really hard to stick to a particular food and tbh I haven't found one that I don't feel sick afterward.

Maybe try protein bars or something? Even if you can't eat much it will help you to gain weight to stop your parents from worrying.
