i know this isnt a question i had to let it out but on what ever you want to say i want to hear it cuz i just need people to think what i should do and wat is wrong with me!

Answer 1

Call a hotline. Here is a number to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated disorders 1-847-831-3438. The site on the bottom is where i got the number. Also you can go to the doctor. But you would have to give a reason to your parents for going and since you might have to do that i wouldn't recommend that.

Answer 2

Okay... take a deep breath and relax. I know it took a great deal of courage to even post this question, and I applaud you for that.
I think you know the first thing I am going to say and that is that you REALLY need to get some help.
The disorder you speak of is something that no one can tackle alone. It is a sickness, just like any other medical problem and you need help to get past it.
You must stop purging. You are doing so much damage to your body by doing this that I don't think that anything I say here could convey to you and make you realize to what extent you are hurting yourself.
The goal is to lose weight right?
Okay, listen, benging and purging, doesnt work. The best way to stay thin and still be healthy is this....

****Eat small frequent meals, drink 64 ounces of water per day, and use a sensible exercise program to tone and shed fat.

I have posted a web-site that you and your mom can look at together to better understand what is going on.

If you seriously do not think that your mom is the one to talk to about this..... fine.......do this:

Go to your school nurse and speak to her about this. I gaurantee that she will take you seriously. With her intervening between you and your mom, you all can search out the resources to get the help you need. Even if your mom doesn't understand the complexities of this disorder, (most people don't your mom is not being 'out-of-the ordinary'), it doesnt change the fact that you are in need of some serious intervention. Make sure you get the help you need to treat this. People die from bulimia nervosa quite easily. I urge you to get some help as soon as possible. Go talk to your school nurse on Monday.
Go to the nurse, and ask her if you can talk to her in private about something very important. (Nurses cannot discuss your problem with anyone else, so anything you say will be confidential unless you ask her to talk to someone about this problem).
Then sit there and wait until she can step away and give you her undivided attention. Be patient, nurses are very busy, but they want to help you. Give her the chance to sit down with you and talk. If you can't get her alone then, stay after school to talk with her. ( I doubt you will have a problem getting her alone.)
If you cant get a nurse alone, go to the emergency room/hospital/doctors office and talk with a doctor/nurse there.
They will know of clinics or places in your area that deal specifically with these types of disorders. We take this issue very seriously and would love to help you if you just give us a chance.
I wish you the best and will be praying for you to get better.
Much love and hugsssssss.

You may not be anorexic but you sound bulimic. Purging, also known as throwing up, is bulimia, and it is a serious eating disorder. You can cause permanent damage doing it, and you still won't look really skinny. You need to deal with the underlying emotions about yourself and your body, and that will take professional help. If you're in school, go to the school counselor. It gets easier to talk about it in time. I hope you do get help and that it all becomes okay for you. It will only get worse if you don't get help.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Go to your doctor and get him/her to refer to a psychologist who deals with eating disorders, and do it as soon as you can.

I suffered with an eating disorder for years and my biggest regret to date is not seeking help sooner. I wasted a good 5 years of my life thinking about food/dieting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when I should have been living life to its fullest.

So please please please go get professional help as soon as possible. It's a horrible thing to have to deal with and it is nearly impossible to get your head straight with help from experts in eating disorders, no matter how hard your friends and family try.
