help

seriously, i need help.

lately, for the past week i haven't been eating a lot. i have been skipping my dinner but the thing is, is that sometimes i don't even realize that i skip my meals, i just work, do homework, and do other stuff until i realize it's too late to eat. i'm scared that i'm becoming anorexic, because today i checked the scale and i "magically" dropped 5 pounds. i want to be healthy but i don't want to have a stupid eating disorder! i used to want to lose weight a lot, but now i really am over it but it's as though i just can't eat. food is not appetizing and i'll feel like i shouldn't eat food. and i'm SCARED! ...but the other day i was thinking if i should eat dinner or not and i started crying! i hardly cry... i don't know what's wrong with me. what should i do? my parents don't seem to notice (i think that's partially how i got into this routine). i don't want to tell any family members or friends.

the scary thing is that i know that there's something wrong with me but i can't control my thoughts/actions. PLEASE HELP.

 

I know how you feel. I felt this way before too. Just tell you parents it will be ok! Thats what I did.

 

All you gotta do is try to eat!
I had this problem before! I was 14 and I hardly ate until I dropped 7-8pounds...then I tried eating a lot and ya...I'm normal...ish

 

the thing is... i've joked about losing weight. my mom said, "go ahead be anorexic, i'd like to see you try." so if i did tell her, i'm scared she's just going to say, "yeah right... you're still eating a lot... that's not possible.." and i really trust my mom, so i don't feel like telling her. my dad won't understand, he'll think i'm going through some teenage phase. my parents are asian, they really don't know about his type of stuff.

 

I recommend talking to a doctor...or a school counsellor...
or a youth help line...

 

yeah i think i might if this gets serious. it's just that it's so embarassing.

 

Or just tell your mom you are telling the truth. Wait what did you eat??????? Maybe thats the problome???

 

... i eat many different types of food. haha xD

 

I say "Go before it get's too serious!"

 

Aw come on! You gotta think positive! Besides who thinks what people think this is sirious.

 

Well, do you snack much?

 

nope. i stopped eating snacks a few months ago.



oh and (don't ask me why) but 6 words per post.

 

It's okay to feel that way...but you should tell someone soon. I would hate to hear if one of my friends got hurt!

 

Being anorexic means your scared to put food in your mouth, and you see yourself as fat. If you really feel that way, go to a hospital for advice. Trust me, its not smart to continue this... My cousin was anorexic, and collapsed after 26 days without eating. Hes lucky to be alive...

 

Okay, around meal times, think about food. Think about if your hungry, or just tell someone for god's sake!












Sorry.

 

i'm not saying i'm anorexic, i'm saying i'm scared i'm going to become anorexic. but you're still right, i don't want this to continue. but how do i get to a hospital w/o my parents knowing?

um. sorry but it's hard.

 

Say you are going somewhere with your friend and then walk there.

 

yea hes rihgt u rlly should see a school counseler or doctor like asap u want to stop it when its early stage its like cancer u dont wanna wait till the tumer grows get it while its possible to. hope u feel better : - (

 

Well, if you really think this is serious, your going to have to tell them. You cant simpily walk into the hospital without a parent unless if your life is on the line. If they truely care about you, they will listen.

 

okay.. thanks you guys. i'll probably tell them once finals are over..
