am i anorexic?

Question

i'm 5'4' 85 lbs and i dont eat for about 8hrs each day . I also lost a big pile of hair on my head and now have a bald spot .

Answer 1

How much do you eat each day? You need to be healthy. Please please take care of yourself. If you're truly anorexic, you have a disease that you can get over. It's all about mind over matter, if you don't eat for those eight hours because you feel you need to get skinny, or you're uncomfortable with who you are, then you may be anorexic or on the verge of it. You are very under weight for your height, I'm the same height and weigh fifty pounds more than you, and I'm in good shape. Alot of it is muscle, but that big of a weight difference isn't good.

As for your hair, that is a symptom. My friend lost most of her hair and lost quite alot of weight from anorexia and bulemia. She almost died because she was destroying her body, she received professional help and when she was finally healthy she gained back the weight and more. She's still beautiful but her temporary weight loss ended up in weight gain.

She had to realize that she was truly beautiful, and recognize her talents and her worth came from her heart and soul not from her looks. When she was finally able to appreciate herself she could be happy for the first time in a long time. That's the most important thing, to rocognize that the creator of this world took time out to create YOU because he loves YOU. And you deserve to be healthy and happy with yourself.

Good Luck,

You'll be in my prayers.

You should probly eat something, soon. But unless your are mentaly telling yourself not to eat, no. If you dont look at yourself in the mirror, and think your fat, No. If you dont pouposley count your calories to a low number, No. Otherwise, Yes! YOu might want to find out whats wrong with your hair though, and eat more, you are WAY underweight, the BMI (the chart that tells you how much you should way vs. your heighth) of a 5'4" is 115 lbs, i should know im 5'4" also and 107 lbs, and the doctors are freaking out and trying to get me to gain 8 more lbs! I just think you should eat healthy food, and your hair will be back to normal soon!!

Good Luck & Eat Your Carrots (lol...jk....Pringles Are Cool!)

Answer 3

Could be. There is certainly a health problem there, but there's no way anyone can diagnose based on what you've said so far.

It might be anorexia, or there might be some other illness that is causing the loss of appetite and the loss of hair. Either way, it is serious and you need to find a way to see a doctor and get started with diagnosis and treatment.

If you're in grade school or high school, you can start by talking to the school nurse or ask your teacher to help you find help. If you're in college there is probably a school medical center that can get you started. If you're involved in a church at all, you might want to start by talking to one of the preachers, because they have had some counseling training and can help you find more help.
