Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I have a few caring friends which I am very close with. I also have an eating disorder, I relapsed a few months ago. I've struggled with my ED on and off for years and I've grown comfortably uncomfortable with the cycle of relapsing and 'recovering'. It's my coping mechanism for stress and eventhough it isn't healthy, it sure is effective. Due to this and -mostly- other personal reasons I do not want to get help for my ED.

Because this is such a big part of my life, I have this urge to open up to my friends about it.  I also rather tell them myself than having them find out about it by themselves (they have no clue right now). My friends are genuinely kind and caring people that want the best for me. I know that they will worry about me if I tell them, especially if they see that I'm not doing anything to better the situation. 

Will telling them turn me into a toxic person? Am I just seeking attention?
