I need "convincing". What can I do?

[My Name Is Ellie]

Thank you.

Things have definately got a lot better this past week - since joining here, thinking about it. Finding out a lot more about my "problem" and realising I'm not the only one going through it.

It gets me so mad at myself because in truth I don't see it as an issue; I merely know my parents probably will if only for wondering what other people are going to think... and that makes it an issue to me, because if my parents are going to be worrying then I am too.
