I'm 13/f and I think I might have an eating disorder...? |
I'm 13 female and i think i might have an eating disorder. my family is bugging me to eat as i don't want to eat and my extended family, I found out is saying i'm to thin and have an eating disorder. I feel like i can't eat around certain people... I just can't let them see me eat. I always worry think of food/me being fat and stuff and i've done some reseach on the web and i fit alot of symptons for an ED. But I can't walk to my parents or any family as I'm not close to them and.. i just can't. How do i get help/find out if i actually have one or not. I'm also kind embarassed saying this incase i'm wrong and actually don't have one. You sound very bright for a 13yr old. Good for you! There are lots of places now for eating disorders. Call help lines in your area until you find someone you are comfortable talking to. Thank God you realize this is a serious problem. Girls are so overly concerned about their looks when they should be improving their minds. You will be fine honey! Love yourself exactly the way you are! Good luck to you! What you describe are certainly some of the symptoms of an eating disorder. If you can't talk to your family, you could try talking to a school counselor, or visiting a hospital or primary physician. Each of those places will have the resources you need to properly diagnose, and treat, your problem. eating is usually best as a family or social activity. unless you are genuinely happy to eat alone you should find a group within which you feel comfortable. I used to just pick at my food until everybody left the room, then I would stuff my face....I never got real help, I just eventually stopped caring what people thought. Don't listen to what people tell you, follow your heart. Everyone that makes fun of you is just cruel. I'm not sure, but it does sound like a disorder. I used to have one, I would always spit ou my food. For me it was just a phase. You can beat it. Believe in yourself, and talk to friends, they will understand and support you. Family will help also, good luck, :) if you're questioning it, and family members are talking about it, and you don't "feel" like eating you likely have an eating disorder or you may be depressed. there are other things that can contribute, but these are the most common problems. you really should go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it. they can give you the best advice about your size/weight ratio, your situation, and your feelings. good luck. It's a good sign that you're looking for help! Don't be discouraged if you get any unfriendly messages on this site. What I would do if I were you would be to find a professional who can help you and diagnose whether or not you have an ED. Sometimes it's easier to talk to a therapist or doctor who doesn't know you and won't judge you. It may be embarrassing, but your health is far more important than a temporary feeling of shame. |
