help

[hahannuh]

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.

[Mr. Bob]

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...

[hahannuh]

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

[Mr. Bob]

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

[hahannuh]

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

[Mr. Bob]

[The Doktor]

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...

[The Doktor]

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?

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.

[hahannuh]

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

[Kingdom Glory]

That's good! Hope you start eating more and better!

[EvilMan_89]

easy. take it one bite at a time. go buy a burger, think to yourself "i already spent the money, i should eat it". and just force yourself to bite it. the rest will come easy. and that's how u overcome other problems that u don't wna face: force yourself to do it, getting started on the solution is the hardest part!

[Misty]

Funny... It seems like I've been eating a lot latley...

Anyway, do you skip breakfast and Lunch?

[Roxas]

Skipping breakfast makes you gain weight.

When your body realizes it doesn't have that food there, it stores extra fat.

I'd suggest eating three healthy meals a day.

[ЯзJзct.çom]

Try eating small things,like a granola bar.then move on to a little bit bigger things,such as a salad.take it one step at a time I guess.

[Sony Hacker]

start eating little snacks, or a bowl of cereal. or set up a time to eat ( DON'T SKIP THIS TIME )


i'm not trying to be negative or scare you but if you don't eat you will have a serious problem ( death, starvation )
