How do I tell my parents I have a Binge Eating Disorder?
I have been very stressed out about this for a long time. I have looked up symptoms and I match ALL of them. I eat even after I'm extremely full, not even because the taste is good. I just CANNOT stop. I try to but I can't and it is scaring me. I'm very snappy, moody and I..self harm as well and I am very obsessed with my weight. I want to tell my parents this but I'm scared...How should I do this? Please Help

Tell your parents openly and honestly.
If they doubt your self-analysis, tell them that you'd like to see a Doctor
about your eating, feelings, and what YOU think is wrong.
The result will likely be that they will take you seriously and, hopefully,
the Doctor will be able to help you with whatever the cause may be.
*edit: PS - Don't assume anything before hand or go in chatting away
that you already know what your problem is.
Instead, ask the Doctor if it is 'possible' that you have a binge eating disorder.
In this way, the Doctor will feel that they have the intellectual room necessary
to best help you without falling prey to your personal presumption. -- Good Luck --
