im struggling with my ed right now and i feel like im being put under all this stress from multiple things. i feel like i'll never be pretty, thin, smart, or popular enough for everyone. i also feel like im "forced" to be perfect in every way shape and form. it feels like im being pulled from one side saying that weight doesnt matter and i should be happy when i eat food because you need it in order to live, but another side says that when i eat im eating too much, i need to lose weight in order to survive in life, carbs are my enemy, calories are terrible, and many other things. everyday i put on a facade like everything is peachy keen and everything is fine, when deep down i feel extremely dissapointed with myself and ugly i am and many other things. i might be feeling depression but i just dont know anymore. all i want to do is purge more more more more and more until i can reach my ideal weight.i think if im thin im close to perfection. HOW DO I OVERCOME THIS WITHOUT A CLINIC?

Find someone who you can confide in. How much of this anxiety is the stress of having someone find out?
You say that you will never be pretty, thin, smart, or popular enough for everyone. What do you want for yourself? The only person who can make yourself happy is you... it's not an easy question to answer, but you need to shift the focus in your life back on yourself.
Meanwhile, use the food pyramid as a refresher on what you should be eating, even if that's not what you want to be eating. You can control what you use to fuel your own life, but please do so in a healthy weight. I turned to meditation and yoga to help with my anxiety attacks back in high school - it was a great coping mechanism for me, but every person is different and will respond to different things.
That's where you need someone to confide in - someone with experience who can help you with the rough spots.

God loves you the way you are no matter what, he is always there for you.
there is no point in trying to please the world view of what is pretty, thin, smart or popular! cause it is constantly changing stay with something you are comfortable with and if you are uncomfortable with the way you are then set yourself some goals!ones that are to do with you and no one else!
you could write yourself down a daily menu for the week including healthy snacks and bye your shopping according to the list so you don't bye stuff you don't need and if you feel hungry outside of your meal and you have had your sank drink water.
go for a walk in the morn or evening either with someone or by yourself, listen to music or just think about where you want to go with your life.
make some goals for your future as to where you want to be in a few years but be sure to make then doable!!!.
what is perfection? some chick in a magazine? only according to others who can afford thousand dollar surgery, makeup artists, Private dietitians, and fitness instructors.
but remember most of all god loves you and he ia always there for you no matter what.

Start with your school guidance councillor. You may even have a local support group. Good luck honey. We are none of us perfect.
