please your input will be appriciated..

Answer 1

the definition of anorexic is not being hungry - it's not necessarily the eating disorder. Many and most causes of anorexia (not being hungry) are serious medical conditions, including cancer. Not to scare you or anything but you need to see a doctor. Whatever it is, it just began so have it diagnosed sooner rather than later. Waiting things like this out is what causes problems. Good luck! And tell your boyfriend to be supportive, rather than didactic!

Answer 2

If you freak out over being sick - you might be getting a mental problem.... I once thought I had an eating disorder (last year) because I was sick for a long time, not constantly just a lot - I lost like 35 pounds (very quickly dropping them here an there over one year...)

I have gained back 20 of them so the whole freaking out in my head has stopped.... (I got salmonella 3 times and only found out the 3rd...oh and dengue...plus I was in love for the first time - having my heart broken)

It doesn't sound like anorexia - maybe a virus, parasite.... there might be something emotional affecting you - perhaps? Stress, depression, I dunno....
hope you get better :) and to a doctor sweetie.

Hi,
If you have anorexia its not that you are not hungry...you don't want to eat because you don't want to get fat...
That is a complete different thing. If you've lost your appetite then you might be sick.
I dint understand why your family would be upset about that...
or your bf mad at you...
You should go to the doctor ASAP.
I think that the fact you are not hungry does not correlate with the fact you are anorexic.
However, your family is mad at you because they care about you...and if you are an intelligent girl you will understand that if you don't eat you die. Simple.
So go to the doctor now if you don't want to regret it

Answer 4

Anorexic is a phycological condition where you feel guilt for eating food or just plain dirty. You may be sick, have a virus, or even worse, have a parasite. If you just feel full, try getting your parents to get you food you like more so you will have a desire to eat.

Answer 5

your not anorexic unless you think your fat and stop eatin because u want to loose weight, if u dont eat just cause u are not hungry, and ur pale...i think u should get checked out

Answer 6

well scientificly speaking anorexia is when you don't eat on purpose because you are afraid you will get fat. i don't think you are anorexic but you should probably try to have a more healthy apetite or something.

Answer 7

no you have to lose 50% of your weight to become anx.

Answer 8

go to a doctor.
If its something serious, you dont want to be "too late"

Answer 9
