Do i have an eating disorder? i'm pretty sure i don't but please help!?

every1s been commentin on how thin am gettin and how they can see my ribs but am sure they are tellin me wot i want 2 hear. each day for ages now av been eatin a cuppa soup and the occasional cracker. but after that i feel really guilty and the other day my brotha made sum chocolate cake which i forced myself to eat because no one else seemed to want to try it and i felt bad anyway i felt guilty so i made myself sick.no one noticed coz my mam and step dad are in the middle of splittin up n my dad is always on holiday,anyway i do this because well i'm not happy with the way i look and for a while now, everytime i stand up and walk for about 10 secs i hav been feelin dizzy and its the same when i walk up stairs.i haven't told my mam about this because i am afraid of her making me eat more and make me fatter.my family and friends are always saying other people are fat which are thinner than me which makes me feel bad.btw am 13 years old. what do i do???

I think you do. You should really talk to someone you trust soon. Then,you can go to a doctor or therapist who can tell you for sure. Good luck.

i think you have an eating disorder and you need to go to a doctor immediatly or start eating like a normal person or something.
that isnt healthy .. at alll
goodluck.

yes i think you need help

Yeah, sounds like an eating disorder - or very serious problems with food, at least.

Tell people how you feel, and see what help you can get.

Good luck

aww im 13 too. it seems ur parents splitting up has something to do with this. i dont want to say this but if you are making urself sick and feeling guilty after eating then u may have a eating disorder. yeh the dizziness is a sure sign. go to the doctor and get urself checked out. good luck!

Im belemic which means i eat then make myself puke up. You sound like you are anorexic, I would say get some help but that would be hypocritical.

Yes, I think you do. I know it's hard but you really need to tell someone you trust so you can get some help. It's going to be a lot harder if you just leave it.
Good luck xx

if you don't eat that much, you are afraid people will tell you to eat, you stand up and get dizzy quickly, and people can see your ribs, i think you have an eating disorder...

if people can see your ribs you certainly aren't "fat." don't see food as a chore but as something to enjoy...

You have an eating disorder im afraid.You need help with your fear of food,so go to your doctors.Making yourself sick after eating because of guilt is a sure sign of bulimia.You are dizzy because you are ill,its a warning sign that you are seriously ill. Speak to your mum and she will help you. On another level,your mums problems are affecting you too,its not her fault and not yours but it can affect you deeply in such a way.

Aw honey you do have a problem but it is not one to be ashamed of. You need to seek help and find someone that you can talk too. Going through a tramatic time affects everyone in different ways. I am sure you are not fat but know how you are feeling I went through the same. If you need someone to talk to then e-mail me my e-mail address is on my page that you can view.

Yes sweetie you DO have an eating disorder. You are NOT getting enough calories,vitamins etc in your diet. You are dizzy because your blood pressure is dropping. Your electrolytes are probably all messed up. Without enough sodium and potassium your blood pressure can drop. You need to get in for treatment right now. It's hard going thru a family in the midst of a divorce and it has a negative effect on the kids. Please go to your mom and tell her what is happening. You are risking serious complications if this is not treated right away. GL

Yes, you have an eating disorder. You need help. Talk to a school counelor if you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents. Get help now! You are hurting your body and could DIE. This is serious. Teenage girls should worry about school, not their weight. Make friends with real people, not popular girls who are obsessed about their looks, make sure you have plenty of people to support you.
Tell somene who can help. This could ruin your life.

yes it does sound like you have a eating disorder because normally people eat breakfeast lunch and dinner not just one meal. the only thing im thinking right now though is that you are happy with yourself and i dont think youll change because your happy. oh and my ribs show too but i dont have a eating disorder...you should really talk to someone you end up anorexic

Hi
I think that all the things you have talked about are making you very unhappy and you're finding it difficult to control the things that are happening around you, so this makes you want to control your food intake which makes you feel like you are in control. Unfortuanately it works the opposite way, your body will start to take over and eating in this way will cause many processes to begin in your body which you have no control over, you may feel better because you're thinner than you were but your liver, kidneys, heart and various other parts of your body will be affected. The only way to make yourself happy is to be happy with the person you are, speak to someone you can trust about the way you are feeling - your doctor may be able to recommend a group or person where you can speak to people who feel the same way or who understand what you're going through and the conversation that you have with him will be completely confidential. Going and speaking to someone about this will be the bravest thing you will have ever done and you should feel proud of yourself by taking this first step and reaching out to people. I hope you take the advice and seek some help. Take care and good luck with whatever you decide to do.

It sounds like you find it very difficult to accept the possibility that you have an eating disorder. However, deep down you know that this is true. You write about what your friends are telling you about how thin you are getting and how little you are eating - cuppa soup and occasional crackers. You have a false negative image of yourself, which is not allowing you to accept and hear what your true friends are telling you. I suspect warning bells were ringing in your head when you were sicking-up your brother's cake, because you know deep down that that just is not right.

There is so much turmoil going on in your life right now - your folks splitting up, it must feel like your whole world is out of control at the moment. Worst of all, your immediate family are not noticing what is going on for you right now! You are worried and want to tell your mum about the dizziness and what is going on, but I think you fear loosing control of the only thing that you feel able to control in your life at the moment and that is what you eat!

The danger though is that you could be really hurting yourself and you must talk to your mum about this and together seek professional help to get a real handle on yourself and your life! I hope you can see a light at the end of the tunnel soon.

You are anorexic.
