Is being Anorexic and cutting your wrist, and feet and toes healthy?

Answer 1

Dear, I just did a little look into your pages to see the kind of questions you ask, and the kind you answer. Generally I see a strong trend that disturbs me. You are obsessed with questions regarding anorexia and cutting. You NEED to talk about these things. You are on a suicidal path and you know it. You need help.

You do not need validation for your question. You know full well that these things are not healthy activities. You are obviously very troubled and potentially suicidal. I am sure you come in to discuss these issues because you are becoming a tad worried about yourself. Either that or you foolishly seek validation which of course you will not get. IYou must be afraid and beginning to become desperate to ask such a q in this place. We are all anonymous and cannot "bust" you.

Harming your body is of course not a great idea. One of my daughters was a "cutter" when she was in her mid teens. It was not until she and a friend cut the goddess triple moon into each other's upper arm that I discovered the scars on her forearms. This girl was, to all extents and purposes, a "winner" with high grades, potential scholarships, much beauty and personality, and a top athlete. I could not believe my sunny charismatic daughter did this.

I contained my worries until I learned more about cutting. She had piercings and a tat, so I could not figure out why she did this. Body image and food were not a problem. We sat and talked and finally got to the bottom of it. It took a few pots of tea and a bowl or two of pot, but we got to it. In her case it went back to her father's abandonment of us. Once she realized it was her way of dealing with her loss, she never did it again. Fortunately, we are very close and have none of the usual communication difficulties so freqently present between mother and daughter.

She began to talk to the school counsellor. Alhamdullilah, she worked her way through her pain and is now taking a scholarship towards her Masters in Maths and Computers. Since then she has gotten maybe eight new piercings and one tat. Nothing on her face... whew! But that is ok, we got the piercings together. Yes Mom got a few too. You CAN get past your pain but help is necessary. You get so lost in your emotions you cannot see your way out of the mess you are in.

It sounds to me as if you have no adult figure, or even wise older sibling, in your life to speak to. You are screaming for help and it is imperative you are heard. You would not be asking such questions in here if you were not starved for a forum in which to discuss these. You are worried about your own behaviours. And rightly so.

You are attempting suicide in at least two fashions. Does your family not see you not eating? not notice you are skinnying down?I am sure your Mother would want to help you. Perhaps you could speak to a school counsellor and receive assistance. If you are afraid of your parents' reaction, such exchanges between you and a counsellor are kept private.

No one is ever as alone as they think they are, no matter how deeply they believe they are! I know this from personal experience.

Cutting your toes I have never heard of, but infection could easily result since feet are hardly the cleanest part of the body. If they are not enclosed in steamy germy shoes, they are out in the air on the ground. Not too good. If you are run down from poor nutrition it is much easier to become serously effected. Gangrene can result with even less encouragement.

Several years ago I had an illness that made me so thin everyone was worrying that I was Anorexic. I won't go into details. I wanted to eat and drink but could keep nothing down. The doctors could find nothing wrong and started sending me to shrinks for anorexia. Finally they listened to me and I got the necessary surgery. But, it came within a day or so of my developing permanent heart and liver damage, and other internal organs. Just in time. I was lucky.

These internal organs tend to start shutting down at a certain point. The damage is usually irreversible. So is it healthy... nope!
But you already know that, too.

You are obviously a troubled lass in need of professional care. What is bothering you that you feel is worth your life? Use Yahoo to email me if you want and I would be happy to exchange talks with you. You might find it helpful.

SO... put away the cutting tools and start taking better care of yourself. We only get one body and it has to last for a whole life. It is up to you to determine the length of that life. Please realize that nothing is worth dieing for. I have faced that demon myself as well.

You know the answers. You come in desperately seeking contact with people and perhaps a clue to serve as a life raft. Might I add, if you got past your problems, and got out into the world and took up a cause that takes you out of yourself you might feel better about yourself. It often helps to do something that takes you out of yourself, perhaps pushes you a bit, to divert you and make you see others have problems as well. Helping others is the ultimate cure for many types of depression.

I pray things improve for you. Take up my invite to talk if you wish. I have a good ear and you would not be the first youngster I have spoken with on these things.

I send you blessings.

Answer 2

Let's be logical. Anorexia is a VERY serious disease that people have died from. It IS NOT healthy. As for cutting your wrist, feet, and toes on purpose, that is just stupid. People have died from cuts too. Not very many people, but it can happen. So stay healthy and PLEASE don't become anorexic or cut yourself on purpose.

Answer 3

in case you truly pick to exhibit her what she's doing to herself then get a large sheet of paper and tell her to sketch how she sees her outline if she were to lsy down on the paper. Then tell her to position down and easily hint her. be particular she feels the marker so she is conscious you're wisely tracing her body and make her look at it so she sees that shes nkt fat. also basically be particular you take advantage of two different colorings for indication. yet another element you may want to do is make her stsre at her scars for a lengthy time period and clarify to her that she is hurting herself and that you dont like it and examine out to artwork such as her so she eats again. purchase a sandwich and chips. One for you and one for her. be particular she eats it and eat it such as her so she doesnt experience on my own. Afterwards, stay such as her and be particular that she doesnt throw it up. proceed to help her till you already know to trust her on her own. i wish this can help your female friend and that i grant you with my maximum perfect desires.
