please help me! My family doesn't think I have binge eating disorder and I know I do. I've noticed it for a long time and finally came open with it. I asked to go to a therapist over it and they said "you don't have that." are there any vitamins or anything I can take to keep me healthy until I can fight either it or my family?

If you are still in school there is always a school counselor that you can talk to. You can go to them on your own. A vitamin can't keep you healthy if you are pukin it up.
Go to someone at school a teacher or counselor whoever you feel comfortable with. Sometimes parents are in denial and don't notice there is a problem. Just don't give up on yourself.
