Help! i think i might be getting and eating disorder!....am i?

ok so lately i hav been really concerned about my weight...well not lately i guess since about march. so anyways, i have always been a small girl. i weigh 113 pounds and i am 5'5". even though people r always telling me how skinny i am, when i look in the mirror, i feel sooo fat and look sooo fat. i also always feel bad whenever i eat something, and usually go for a run to work it off. i have been not eating breakfast lately, and drinking a lot of tea. i am ALWAYS thinking about my weight, like 24/7. so does this sound like i might be getting on? i also always am wishing that i was anorexic...idk y. thank you guys!

Being a dietitian who has experience with eating disorder patients, I would certainly say you are going through a tough time. My suggestion for you would be to get help sooner than later. Many of my patients have been battling their disorder for years, some even decades. This is not a lifestyle you want to wish on yourself, I've seen it ruin the lives of many patients and their families.

If left untreated, eating disorders can also result in serious complications, such as heart disease, amenorrhea, bone loss, stunted growth, nerve damage, digestive problems, bowel irregularities, and tooth decay. (Just to name a few)

There are many forms of treatment you can seek. Seeing a therapist is definitely a good start to help cope with your feelings about body image. I'm sure there are also group programs in your area you can look into. I would talk to an adult you trust (parents, school counselor, doctor, etc) they will be able to help you determine a treatment that will work best for you.

I hope this information helps. Good luck and take care.

If your wishing for death your doing the right things.....I'd say go talk to your mom or someone you can trust to just listen....Your at an age where you feel you have no control over your growing blooming body...and are trying to stay like a little girl...a protection....Find some other cause in the world to give your attention to we need you to be healthy and alive....

Yeah, that's definitely a warning sign. Stop this behavior now before it gets too out of control. Find someone you trust to talk to about this, and address it immediately.

Wishing you were anorexic? That is strange. You don't want to be anorexic. But it does sound like you are getting there. I've been anorexic for many years. When I was at my lowest weight, I could have died. Results to that, I will never be able to have babies. I gained weight back, but now I am losing again. I don't want to, but my mind wants me to do. I hate it, it's all I think about. I am so very unhappy. Get help before it gets to be, I am serious.. it ruins your life. If you get help now, MAYBE you will be able to control it, and not have it ruin your life. BTW you are very skinny.. dont need to lose anymore weight AT ALL!!!

well first off you shouldn't wish to be anorexic. with this said, get help before you DO become anorexic! that means talking to a parent, trusted adult/teacher, close friend or even calling a help line.

having anorexia or any eating disorder is terrible and i would never wish it on anyone. it's a living nightmare and you will regret every second later on in life if you don't get help now.

if your body image is distorted, check with a therapist and make sure it isn't BDD first (body dysmorphic disorder) which is equally awful.

please go talk to someone before you lose yourself ): best of luck to you.
