• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

For the past 4 years, I have been making myself throw up. I have always been what people would call fat. I have always been bullied, lately, I have went days without eating. Ever time I eat, I have to make myself throw up. I am 5foot 1 and weigh 75 pounds. Is that too skinny? Everytime I look in the mirror, all I see is fat. What should I do?

You should go and talk to your dr. right away. Tell him/her what you said here, and be honest.
In the meantime, make sure you drink plenty of water - juice is good too. You can easily get dehydrated, and that will make you sick.
Please pm me anytime you want!

Remember, God made you, and He made you beautiful!

you're really underweight, you can use BMI calculators on the internet, try using google search for one, and enter your height and weight, that will tell you what I just have. please, go to fsee your doctor as soon as possible, if not for yourself, then for your friends, and God, if you keep going this way, you will seriously damage your health, trust me on that one, I have been there and done that, and unfortunately, am getting back there, please, go and deal with it now, before it gets too much for you to ever handle, this way you have professional help and guidance along the way, I never did, but, I had my friends, if it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't be here, you really do need to see someone. If ya ever wanna chat, just PM me anytime. God bless, *hugs*

Hun, only your doctor can diagnose you with an ED. But at 5' 1" and 75 lbs, you're very underweight. Also, with your behaviors, I would definetly talk to your doctor right away. Please also know, YOU ARE NOT FAT!!! At all. Don't let Ana tell you that. Good luck sweetie.

where are your parents? Haven't they noticed your anerexic? your pastor, your teachers?

I don't know if that is entirely fair - disordered behaviors can be very hard to identify if you are not looking for them and don't know what they are. Also, people close to you often can't see things the way outsiders can.

Iamsaved15: how are you doing? have you talked to anyone yet? hope you are doing well!

Hey,

I'm sorry that your going through this. I hope you know that your beautiful and that God and Christ love you for who you are, not what you look like. Real beauty lies within, our body is just a mask for our soul. The real beauty is what's in the inside. God and Christ don't care about how you look on the outside, They deeply care about what's on the inside of you. And who cares what other people think, are the greater than our God? Their words may hurt, but God will heal us of the past if we ask Him to.

I hope you will find comfort in Jesus' words. They are the truth and the truth is what you should believe in, not what other people say or what you think. I hope that you will always pray for yourself and for others. Prayer always works! But becareful for what you pray for, because it is going to come true. God is always with you, he always has been, holding you everyday of every lonely night. He will always love you for who you are.

Peace of Christ,
Dan
