Answer 1

Sweetheart, it sounds like you are anorexic.
What you need to do is find someone to take you to the hospital ASAP!! Your mother is in denial and its very stupid of her to not help you when you are obviously in need....

My advise would be to seek medical attention immediately!! You have taken the first step sweetie, you know that you have a problem, now its finding the proper help. . . If you go to the ER they can help you, and find you the support that you need to recover. Best of luck to you . . . you will be in my prayers. . .

Answer 2

It sure sounds as if you are anorexic -- EXCEPT that most girls suffering from anorexia do NOT realize it.

Anorexia has very little to do with your body image or weight. Usually anorexia is a means for you to control something -- ANYTHING -- in your life. If your mom is over-controlling, the only thing you CAN control is what goes in your mouth. This might not be the case with you -- but again, it might be.

Whether anorexia is your problem or not, you are in SERIOUS trouble and if your mom won't help you, then you need to find someone who will. It might take ALL your strength, but please, please, reach out to someone. Talk to an adult -- a teacher, aunt, friend, a friend's mother, counselor, doctor, someone. If you absolutely have no one, try calling a suicide hotline, maybe they can suggest something.

Life can be SO good and you have your entire life to look forward too. Please be strong enough to get help.

Best of luck to you and I'm sending hugs, too.

If your mom doesn't help you, you should talk to someone else that is close to you (Grandma, Aunt, friend, friends mom). Don't ever think to yourself that you are ugly or fat. Everybody is beautiful and unique in their own special way. I once was overly thin and felt dizzy a lot. Now I am 125 lbs and feel great. You don't have to worry about gaining weight if you exercise and eat healthy. Good Luck and Take care :)

Answer 4

It's possible.
I know this because I myself went through the same thing.
It was about a year ago.
I was 19 yr old 5'7" male that only weighed 95lbs and I had some of the same symptoms you described.
I finally "woke up" and gained some weight.
I am now somewhere between 120-125 lbs, but I am happier.Most Importantly HEALTHIER!
If you decide to gain weight I will warn you,you might feel sick at first.I know I did!!! But trust me,if you do gain the weight you will feel better in the long run.


But don't eat alot of junk food to gain weight,eat alot of healthy foods and try to exercise in order to build muscle.
You will look and feel better.

Good luck to you!!! (^_^)
God Bless.

Answer 5

Yes, it's possible you could be starting this eating disorder. But you want to go to the doctor? It seems like your mom could care less about your problem. What's wrong with eating an apple? You haven't eaten in 3 days, EAT SOMETHING!

Answer 6

You need to go to a doctor, if your mom says your fine just make your own appointment. The way your writing sounds to me like you could be anorexic.

Answer 7

You should call someone else and ask them to take you to a doctor... If your mom won't than one of your friends mom's will. You have a disease, it's just like alcoholism... You need to get help while you are still young. If I knew you, I would take you to the doctor... Good luck and you are beautiful!!

Answer 8

You really need to sit down and talk with your mother this sounds serious. Explain to her that you haven't eaten anything in three days. That is not normal. You can become very sick and end up in the hospital. Can you talk to your Guidance Counselor at School.

Answer 9

I'm the same age as you and am on the same path. I'm so sorry! I know how you feel!

Please tell someone else if your mom isn't listening.
Search anorexia help lines on the internet and their should be some sites and phone numbers.
Though I'm kinda ana myself I don't think its good for people to do it.

Answer 10

Yes, you need to go in the yellow pages and call a hotline< take a cab or have an Aunt or Uncle take you to get help
