Am I being too mean?

Trigger warning: I will talk about eating disorders. If this is a topic that easily triggers you, please turn away from this post!!

I have a few friends who found out about my eating disorders and now they’re constantly trying to make me eat. if I decline their food they’ll say something along the lines of “It’ll make me uncomfortable if you don’t eat”. Also since I don’t bring lunch they make me eat with them BUT I CANTTT. They literally won’t give up even if I cry about it (speaking from experience)

They’re just trying to look after me and all that but idk its kinda upsetting. I’m not at the stage of accepting recovery so I don’t want their help, but I feel bad because they genuinely care. I just don’t want to entangle them in my business because this is very personal to me. If I ever choose that “Ayo I want to stop this” then I’ll do that on my own. I don’t need them to babysit me.

Yet at the same time I get it. Because if something happened to me, they’d feel guilty for not doing anything about it.

UGHHHH IM HAVING AN INTERNAL CONFLICT
Long story short, I’m confused af. I do love my friends and therefore I can’t bring myself to tell them about this because I feel kinda mean tbh

I hope you can get the help you need.
In depression we are told to cheer up and we would if we could, so the advice is useless.
I won't pretend to understand what your going through, however, as I never straved myself.
