I m going on a field trip tomorrow with my drama class. We re going to see a show and then we re going to dinner afterwards. Here s the thing: I ve been dealing with anorexia for 5 years now and though I am better with it (not restricting calories or throwing up), I can NOT eat in front of people. I starve myself everyday until I get home so that I don t have to eat in front of my peers. It is very debilitating but I can t force myself to eat. The other day I was going to pass out and my teacher asked me if I had eaten and asked what and I started crying because I couldn t bring myself to tell her.
So my question is, how do I eat at the restaurant tomorrow? I don t know what to do because it s rude to not order food at a restaurant and my teachers know I have eating issues so they ll be extra vigilant about it. So what should I do? i think I ll just order a salad and pick at it but even that is freaking me out. Please help, I really don t know how to handle this.
