How long until people start to notice anorexia/bulimia on a person?
It depends on how attentive the person's parents and friends are. Anorexia and Bulimia are two different types of the same thing; Anorexia is the mental state of mind where a person finds themselves overweight and or disgusting when they are average weight/body type. Common signs of an Anorexia problem is frequent bathroom breaks (possible forcing themselves to throw up) and the refusal of food on a daily basis. Bulimia is a similar state of Anorexia with different approaches. The person will often consume large amounts of food to seem like they are normal or unaffected, then force-regurgitate it (throw up) later on. Signs include constant aches, pains, inability to run or jog, constant headaches and constant bathroom breaks. Both Anorexia and Bulimia are serious medical problems and should be dealt with as soon as they are confirmed. Constant force-regurgitation can trick the body into refusing food, eventually making the person starve themselves to death.
Hiw long until u die from anorexia?

How long would it take for anorexia to kill me?
If you are thinking like this, please talk to your doctor, or phone a Youth help line, so they can advise you where to go for help so you can talk about whats making you think like this. Suicide is anger turned inwards. You need to learn positive ways of dealing with problems, by writing a poem to express what you are feeling on paper. Or write down what it is about your life, that you don't like, then work on changing whatever it is. You need to read some books on how to raise your self-esteem and personal growth. Also books on positive thinking. Everytime you get a negative thought, like the one in your question, replace it with a positive thought, such as,' I am a good person and I deserve to be happy'. Ask yourself what it is you want in life, not what other people want, then learn to say 'no' to people. Communication is the answer. You need to tell people that what they have said has hurt you, when they have hurt you. You need to tell people that they are not listening to what you are saying, and that what they like, mightn't be what you like. If you try to live up to other peoples expections, you will never be happy, because there is always going to be someone who will criticise you. Take control of your life and start to believe in yourself. Think positive, and don't use food as a vehicle for anger. If you starve yourself you are at risk of having a heart attack, or stroke, and you mightn't die. You could end up paralysed, in pain, and alive, without the choice of ever being able to make your own choices about what you want to do with your life. Get outside and go somewhere new, get on a bus or train, stay in a backpackers and meet some new and interesting people. Take up and learn a new hobby, such as photography, or art, or writing, something where you can express yourself positively. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy!
How long before anorexia kill will you?
From what I know, it's usually either a re-feeding syndrome that kills you or a sudden heart attack, and it's hard to predict both, it just happens, you might be dead by now for all we know... You say you don't want to die, but you just want to be skinny, well, skinny is in the BMI range 18-20 and you are way under that, so you are not skinny you are skeletal and that in return means that you are barely alive, trust me I know, I'm a bit taller than you but around the same weight and I am telling you though I am sure you already know that what you are living right now is not a life, barely surviving through the day is not living... the rest I leave for you to answer.
If I become anorexic aproxitmently how long before I start to see a difference in body appearance? ?
Depends, probably 2-6 weeks to shart showing illness. I do not advocate it though. It is an ILLNESS. I used to be anorexic. I was 5'5 and 96 pounds. At that time, I was the most depressed I had ever been. I withdrew from all my friends and all I would do was stay at home and cook/bake stuff. No guys liked me...I looked like I was dying! I was hospitlized and finally realized how serious it is. Please don't become anorexic.
How long does anorexia take to damage your body?
I suspect that you are hoping to get the answer that it takes ages before damage is done and that it will be a long time before doctors know anything. Doesn't work like that I am afraid, damage can be done very quickly especially if you weight drops rapidly or if you purge of take laxatives or diuretics. Anorexia is a life threatening illness - 30% of all sufferers die from it. If you are suffering with this illness you really DO need to be honest with your doctor and ask him for help. Don't lie and pretend that you are fine, the only person you are ultimately hurting here is you. if you can be honest and up front, your doc will be able to help you sooner rather than later. It will become very obvious to people that you are anorexic sooner than you think and the earlier you get treatment the easier it is to get out of the anorexic cycle. I lived with chronic anorexia for 14 years - I have been in recovery for 2 years now. I went undiagnosed for a long time and this meant the illness really got a good grip on me.
Can you die from anorexia?
Yes, it is very possible to die from lack of nutrients. While carrots are good for you, they don't have anywhere near all of the nutrients your body needs to function properly. It will take a lot less than a month to start seeing complications from not eating right.
