Should I tell my roommates im in anorexia recovery?
I've been suffering from anorexia/excercise bulimia for the past eight months or so. I went from a healthy 5'9" and 140 pounds in December to 106 pounds now. Alot of it had to do with depression from my (ex) boyfriend having to return to Germany (he was an exchange student) in December and my beloved grandmother's death in February due to nursing home neglect. I was a freshman in college then, and came home for the summer at the beginning of May. I was 120 pounds when I came home. I subsequently lost more weight from depression caused by my family. My father has been emotionally (and at times physically) abusive to me and my mother throughout my life and it continued this summer. They also made me watch my brother for 3 weeks to make sure he didn't kill himself after his gf of two years broke up with him, which he threatened to do. All of these things have contributed to me relapsing into anorexia (I had it for two years in middle school). I've been trying to get better for the past week (self help books/eating a little more), but my parents are making it worse by threatening to hospitalize me and making me feel like I'm a crazy person. Luckily, I move back into the dorms on Sunday. I will be living with my best friend from high school, and 2 other girls I became friends with freshman year of college. Should I tell them that I am in anorexia recovery? I'm thinking about sending them a facebook message about it before Sunday so that things aren't uncomfortable and I won't "rain on their parade" on move in day. I def. trust them. I was just going to tell them not to comment on my weight for now, or offer me foods that would make me anxious.

If you trust them, yes. It'd be nice to have someone to talk about it with. :) But on the other hand, if they ever get into a fight or arguement with you, then they might tell everyone or use it against you..
2 :
Tell them. It's bad enough that you can kill yourself because you don't know how to deal with your emotions. If anything, they can be encouraging and help you. Always remember this: No less that 3 meals a day.
3 :
Yes, I think you should cause if you do not tell them, they could tell authorities and it could start problem please tell them.

What Countries in Europe is much like Latin America when it comes to taking care of the elderly
What Countries in Europe is much like Latin America when it comes to taking care of the elderly?
I'm referring that you see Hispanic people in Latin America and it's part of culture when someone in the family is old unable to care him/herself.Instead of dumping them to a nursing home one of the grown kids of the elderly parent/s takes turn caring for them at their own house.Also the Hispanic culture sees it as a disgrace to dump them in a nursing home like people here in America do it. So my question is What central and eastern European countries do the same and view it the same as Latin Americans?Would the following countries include France, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Poland, Czech, Finland, Croatia, Ukraine? I know that it's the same with Southern European countries such as Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece.Also that northern European countries such as United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, are just about or the same as Americans. I keep wondering why does it seem that non white i.e Africans, Asians, Native Americans are the same way when it comes to caring for an elderly.

Africans normally don't live that long. They usually die of AIDS, tribe wars, genocide, and other diseases before the age of 35.
2 :
I Think in Us (Latinos) Its Mainly on Like a Catholic (Karma) We Believe our Elders are very Important and Everyone knows they don't want to be treated like baby's but do not want to be abandoned into a place where they might take care of them but the Love Isn't there... Its Like the Saying.. " Treat Others the Way You Would Like to Be treated" Just My Opinion...
3 :
As an Italian.. I know that Croations, Serbians and Romanians (Just any Eastern Euro country) are VERY family orientated and look after their elderly Its an embarassment to send your parents to a retirement home in our culture
4 :
Basque and Turkey.
5 :
I would say Spain. By the way, Finland is in northern Europe.

If you filed out all your papers correctly, filed them, and they ask for info and you gave it then all you can do is go in and answer the questions they ask honestly. you do not need a pro to go with you or pay to file forms, or anything eles.

I would like to know if there is someone who can prove to me the legitimacy or legality of this company
I would like to know if there is someone who can prove to me the legitimacy or legality of this company...?
I applied a Nursing job through www.learn4good.com. The company who posted the job on that website claims that they are in need of nurses in Europe. Now the company is asking me to pay a maximum of 300 euro dollars for the processing of my requirements and visa. Is there anyone who can give me proof of the legitimacy of this company? The name of the said company is ZEIT ARBEIT GMBH GERMANY. Your efforts would help a lot. Thank you very much.

Save your money. If they need nurses so bad, they would be paying YOU to come over there. Here in the US they are so desparate for qualified people that they literally throw money at you like you were a point guard in the NBA.
2 :
i smell a scam. tell them you want to talk to some other people that have agreed to this and are now working in Europe. run away if they do not give you LEGITIMATE names/addresses.
