Anorexia.

I’m thinking about telling a friend about my eating disorder. My first option would be my best friend who I trust the world with, but she’s very likely to tell someone immediately. My second option would be to tell my guy friend that I trust immensely, but I have no idea how he would react. I can’t tell my other best friend[s] because I know they wouldn’t even try to understand and just completely freak out on me… Telling my parents is out of the question. Please help.

You're right in thinking you should tell someone. Sometimes just talking about issues we face makes them better. It sounds to me from your descriptions that telling your guy friend would be best, but I really can't say. If eventually you do start to feel comfortable with the idea of telling your parents, you should definitely do so. Eating disorders are very harmful to your health, and can affect you for the rest of your life. Please, please just try to get help somehow.
