I don't know if I'm Anorexic. I mean, I've been noticing that I can't stand eating even though I really want to, but that's the part that is really confusing me.
I don't know if I'm anorexic or not.
I rarely eat anything, I skip breakfast, I only eat as much as a slice of bread at school, and at dinner at home, I pick at my food while only eating just enought that would fill a baby bottle if it was turned into a liquid and compressed.
No one at school has thought that I'm anorexic, but I've noticed that about 2 months ago, I had been having headaches for several months and constant stomach pains.
I eat something, but I can't throw it up. I'm slightly selfconcious of my body shape (I.E. getting fat) but I am pretty skinny.
I just want eat, but my body won't let me.
If I eat as much as a mini butterfingers, I feel like I was going to puke, but never do. I can't make myself throw up.
Yes, I know I should see a doctor, but I soon am, but it won't be for a few days.
Someone help me!

It Doesn't Really Sound Like Anorexia...Perhaps Malnutrition?...You Should Just Talk To Your Doctor..If You Were Anorexic I'd Doubt You'd Want To Eat But Rather Be Repulsed By The Thought Of Food

There is no real way that someone can tell if your anorexic by what you have written on the computer. The only true way to know is to see a doctor and he/she can tell you. Your doctor may even suggest that you see a counselor to help you deal with the way you see yourself. Just please know this, each of us is perfect in our own way. What we look like is not as important as society wants us to think it is. True beauty comes from within and your are beautiful no matter what. Even someone who has a body full of scars is beautiful for they have a mind and a soul that makes them unique. It's what is on the inside- the mind and the soul, that counts for the most.

Are you a night owl/insomniac? If so, your body could be adjusted to only eating at night and not during the day. When you have days off school/work you should go to bed early, don't stay up and eat

I think you have anorexia due to the symptoms of your eating habit. You should force yourself to eat more and seek professional help as soon as possible. Because anorexia can be fatal.
