I think I have an eating disorder... is it one?


Well I can never eat. The less I eat, the better I feel. I'm about 5'8", 120 pounds, && I'm not THAT skinny, but I can't eat without getting seriously sick, with either puking (which is rare but it does happen) or getting migranes. But every once in a while, I'll be STARVING && eat a bunch of food without getting sick. I've already dealt with anorexia a few years ago && I was treated again for malnutrition a few months ago... so what should I do? I honestly don't know what's wrong with me... but the headaches are the worst pains I've ever felt, && I just want to know what I can do to make them stop. I don't have many body issues... I just wish I was a bit skinnier, but otherwise I have pretty high confidence.

It sounds more like you have gotten some sort of medical problem. You shouldn't feel sick or headachey when you eat. You might want to go to a doctor and see if they can help you with that.

The headaches are probably from not eating. And you are too skinny for being 5'8". Yes, if you have to ask, you have an eating disorder. You talk about not eating and it makes you feel good, you binge, and you are underweight and want to be skinnier. Reread your question and it should be obvious. Please see a doctor.

I'd probably go to the doctor. Everyone needs to eat and if you get headaches from eating that's definitely a problem. Also, 120 is light for someone that's 5'8" but you said you wish you were skinnier so I would build muscle to add weight, but not fat. Plus, muscle makes you look thinner.

kinda. sounds like you have some kind of problem,, not an eating disorder. i would go to the doc. it could be serious. if you dont mind eating, you should. the headaches are bad tho. anything specific u eat where u get a major headache after?

It sounds like you could have a more serious medical problem than you think, something like a stomach ulcer or something wrong with your gall bladder. I would talk more with your pcp and see what s/he has to say.

I think you should give your doctor a call.

don't starv urself just excercise and eat right and you'll be fine

120 pounds? Your Fine.

yesss!!!!!!!! You need to stop!!!!!!!! that is unhealthy
