Im 14 and i think i may have an eating disorder?
I'm really sorry to hear all of this, but it sounds like you already have a pretty severe disorder sweetheart. I wouldn't take too many recommendations on this site too seriously in regards to diets as some people have it so very wrong. I'd personally recommend talking to your doctor or health practitioner as soon as possible and getting help. They might be able to offer with counselling/therapy/support groups. They can help you by setting target weights and giving you food advice and it's very personal and they can help you every step of the way. If it helps in the meantime, I'd recommend eating three meals a day. (The earlier that you eat in the day, the better it is for you as your metabolism kicks in quickly.) Having a disorder is by no means fun but that's all it is. A 'Dis-order'. You just have to re-order and re-organise how you do things a bit. It could be quite damaging if you keep up this lifestyle. I hope that you are okay and things work out. (Link below is a support group) http://www.something-fishy.org/online/op...
I think I have binge eating disorder?
So for about 6 months I was binging everyday. I would hoard and hide food in my room and eat it when no one was looking because I didn t want my family to see how much I was eating. I would eat really fast and I would eat a lot.... only to feel like crap the next day. I m really insecure and I have frequently tried to diet during the day, which only ended up with me binging. I have also tried to start a more healthy lifestyle by including more fruits, vegetables, etc. and exercising more, but I still end up binging. I also tried to give myself foods I liked in moderation, but I still end up binging. but when I binge, its not to satisfy a craving or because I m hungry, but more because I just feel like eating because why not. and when I do binge its like I m numb to it. I want to see a psychiatrist but I cant afford it and my parents don t want to take me to see anyone. what should I do? is there a professional I can talk to for free?

PLEASE HELP! i think i might have an eating disorder :'(?
Okay, im really worried. (first of all, Im 14 yr old Girl, 38kilos and 157cm) ever since the start of this yr i have been depressed. i was diagnosed with depression and anixety and sent to counsiling and doctors for suicide watch. I am also being homeschool (i was to afraid of going to school so yeah) I saw a counsiler for the rest of this year and i started feeling, well, less depressed. everything seemed normal. But then back in october i thought i was fat, so i started exercising like crazy and eating only healthy foods. it worked, i lost 5 kilos and felt really happy and healthy with myself. BUT. then i thought i was fat, again. i couldn't stop it! My mind kept pointing out all the bad things about me! So i started not eating as much and doing medium level exercises most days (lately i've been so tired i never exercise really). Now i can't stop counting calories! I've become obsessed with what i eat and when i eat. I only have a really really small breakfast, lunch and dinner. nothing else even thought im starving most the day, my mind keeps telling me not to eat anything! At first i didn't think i had lost weight, but i walked out in a singlet and shorts the other day and my mother was shocked at how small i had gotten. she nearly burst into tears! I weighed myself last nite and was shocked to see i weigh 38 kilos when at the start of this yr i was 47. Bascilly i don't know what to do! Should i see a doctor? am i going to die? How can i stop being so obsessed over this??? and do i have a eating disorder? Im so scared! :'( (p.s i do not throw up my food, i tried once but hated it. horrible!)
I think my friend might have an eating disorder?
Okay so I knew this girl in fifth grade and we were friends but then we went on different paths in middle school. She started going to my school though (now in eighth grade), and we've become friends again, I guess. But the thing is... she's SUPER skinny. She told me she weighs 86 lbs and she's 13, almost 14. Of course that wouldn't worry me as much if I saw her eat. At lunch, she never eats ANYTHING! I've only once seen her eat anything; it was a tiny chocolate bar, and then today I forced her to eat my cookie. She doesn't bring a meal from home or buy lunch from the cafeteria. I flat out asked her if she has an eating disorder. She told me no, she just doesn't like to eat much. This makes no sense to me. How can someone not love (good) food? I asked her if she was hungry, and she said, no, the hunger passed. Another thing: She admits that she's skinny, which is good. But what threw me of is when she basically called me fat. I don't think this is normal behavior of what people with eating disorders do, but it's strange. I am in no way shape or form fat. I'm 15 lbs more than her. I'm 101 lbs, but I'm 5'3 and she's shorter. Can anyone who knows a lot about eating disorders tell me what to do? I don't want to overreact, but I definitely don't want to be at her funeral wishing I told someone that she never eats. (The teachers see but they don't do anything). Do you think she has one? What should I do?
My brother has an eating disorder, he hardly eats, he is very thin. How can I help him eat more varieties of food?
It’s difficult to make an ED patient eat unless he’s willing to do so himself.At least, in my case. My mom would go on about how upset she was about me, and I would break down in front of her and tell her I was oh so tired and nervous. However, that didn’t mean I started eating straight away after such incidents. It took me more time before I decided by myself that I’d better eat up.My mom took me to a ED professional doctor once, but to be honest, that didn’t work. I was terrified at the doctor’s office, but the trip didn’t change my mind. I didn’t want recovery. I was perfectly fine with being thin and not eating. If your brother is looking for help, it might help. But if he’s not, it’s up to him to change his mind.Also, I used to be stressed out by anyone who tried to make me eat, or constantly asked whether I’d eaten. I’m not sure how your brother reacts in such situations, though. However, the point is, you can’t just force him to eat. Be emotionally supportive, but don’t push him to tell you what’s bothering him or why he’s not eating unless he’s willing to do so first. And if he tells you something, be understanding. I know it sounds stale, but that’s really what you need. It takes a lot of courage to say things about your ED. I was ashamed of even saying the word ‘food’ or telling someone something looked delicious or that I was hungry. I was so nervous I really wanted to tell someone, but was scared to do so in case he/she’d make me eat or tell my mom.So let him know he can trust you. That you won’t try to change him if he doesn’t want to, but will be enthusiastically helping him get help if he needs it. That you still love him and will not think of him as weird no matter what he tells you.Best of luck.
Eating disorder...It's freaking me out?
Okay, this is what happened. I'm using fake names, because it can kind of get confusing. So there's this girl I met recently, let's call her Stacy. Stacy's really nice and everything so we became friends. So today when I saw Stacy she was really sad and stuff. So I asked her what's wrong. At first she didn't want to tell me, but then she said that her friend Lisa has an eating disorder. Stacy told me that Lisa forces herself to vomit after eating, and she mostly does it in bathrooms, but sometimes in bowls or jars. I know it sounds disgusting. Stacy even said that it's gross. The problem is, I have never talked to Lisa in my life. I barely know how she looks like. But I'm still really worried... Stacy said that Lisa made her promise to not tell anyone about it. Stacy's really scared. What should I do?
