Am i anorexic???????? i have always been self conscious about my body and i never really ate much but as i got older i started getting on the scale regularly and i didn't like what i saw. when i was about 13 i hit 100. i freaked out. i have seen a therapist since i was 10 and when that happened i asked her about it and described my anxiety and she told me it was normal for me to gain weight because i was turning into a woman and i was getting taller and stuff. but that didn't really help me. i continued to have the same anxiety about my weight. over the last couple of years i have cut down

on my food intake and ive lost quite a bit of weight but i still dont like the number on the scale or what i look like in the mirror. i am 5"1' and almost 16 and i weigh 88. i have a 1-1/2 inch gap all the way up my thighs and i can wrap my pinky and thumb all the way up my arms and my stomach is somewhat flat but i still don't like what i see. for lint last year i went vegan and never stopped and i just started public school and all my teachers have noticed and last week my mom and all my teachers had a Conference with me about it. they are all concerned but i don't see why. my doctor told me that looking at my fingers, i should be taller than i am. he told me that being malnourished could stunt my growth. he said that i am and it could be from me being vegan. i have refused to change my ways and my mom threatened to send me to the hospital. i overheard my doctor telling my mom about a website that she should look at and it would tell her all she needs to know about anorexia and how to secretly treat it. im freaking out. if i am, is it really that bad?? do i really need to change my ways? please help!!

I'm not a therapist. But if I were, I would recommend you for both psych and dietary treatment. You're not in a healthy range right now. And I think you already know that.

It is a very searius thing and is realy that bad. My dad is balemic where every time he eats he pukes intentualy. Stop starving yourself, I know you dont like the number on the scail or how you look. but I promis you that if you just eat what you want and gain some weight you will look in the mirir and see how much better you look. Have you seen those models who starve themselvs so that their like walking sticks, because thats the path your heading down by doing this to yourself. And if you havent heres a pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what i look like right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you are anorexic. Im supprised you are still alive! you need to see a doctor imediatly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not even that skinny!!! geez maybe your eyes are broken...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you say so. Sorry, there's nothing we or anyone can do for you, if you really don't think you need help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this must be a joke, nobody in their right mind would look at that picture and not think that it was "That skinny". If that is realy a picture of you then at least see a doctor. I was addicted to meth and Heroin from the time I was 13-15 and NEVER was that malnourished. Why even come on here and ask if you are anorexic when your just gonna call my eyes broken. your 16 years old...dont you think its a little to early to die. And stop denying it, because if you keep that up you will not live another six months. But I have a feeling that is not a real picture because I dont even think that its possible to be alive like that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think that's a joke...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, we tryed to save you but if you dont want to live anymore it dosnt effect me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again I agree with stabar...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok rachy im a girl too i understand you dont like the look in the mirror but somtimes you have to deal would you rather die or live you have to make a decision. im not trying to make you do anything. i dont care how much weight you gain but please promise me you wont let yourself lose any weight put on maybe 5 pounds or 3 just a couple pounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I bet theres a reason behind you feeling subconscious about your body though talk to your mom dont let it build up it will only get worse if its bullys boys it doesnt matter their lower than you ignore them lift your head and say im way to good for you cause you are your beautiful in every way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and one more thing you can always tell me whats going on i wont tell anyone just please dont hurt yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know alot of people do things to try and get their parents atenttion if they ignore you alot. I have been down that road, and its not worth it. You need to think about YOU. If you need to talk to @thatgirlisheres do that, you can even talk to me if you want to. And if your parents do give you alot of attention then like @thatgirlishere said talk to them. Nobody wants you to die, everybody who has comminted on here has done it because their trying to save YOUR life. Can you imagine what it would be like if you died for your friends and family. they would be devistated, even if you dont think anybody cares I bet you that somebody out their does. you dont need to reply if you dont want to...but if you do want to talk to somebody and say something you dont feel like you can say out loud message one of us. We dont realy know you so we wouldnt judge, plus we have no relatonship with anybody you know and we dont know your name, so that means compleatly confadential conversation...give it a try, you never know if it may help.
