• 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.

hi,
i am 19 1/2 and i used to be bulimic, but stopped, and was fine til 3 days ago. i havent eaten in 1 1/2 days and have lost a pound. i dunno if it's the start to anorexia, but i'm losing weight gradually and it's only been 3 days. what do you guys think this may be???? i have lost a few pounds in 3 days....

my mom tells me i need to lose weight, so i will look decent in a dress and/or bikini... i get annoyed, so i'm losing weight. i was raped in febuary as well, so that's some of why i'm losing weight, for me. pm me and talk to me if you want.

I may not be on here til tuesday night, so email me if u have any ideas of what this could be. thanks. i can tell i'm losing weight... i just drink water, coolaid, and a diet coke. i eat a few pepperoni's (small ones)...

i g2g get ready, cuz i gotta be somewhere in a few hrs. thanks for listening.

taslking t o a doctor is your best answer. online no one can tell. your eating habits do say, "see a doctor"...
we can help with ideas on information to seek. like the library or hospital. a national ED web site test may help you. we can help to listen. give you ideas on getting better from struggles; by sharing things we practice or know. etc. seeing doctor is very nessasary though. :hug:

ok. thanks.

i dont want my parents to find out, cuz they didnt believe when someone told them i was bulimic. i can tell i am losing weight, which is good for me, but it's kinda scary. i ate something this morning, but i prolly wont eat anything else, but water or Koolaid. i am paranoid with getting back to skinny, cuz 1. i was raped in febuary, 2. my mom tells me i need to lose weight, and 3. i feel fat as well...

i cant get to a dr, cuz i have no insurance til i get a job that will give me it... i have a babysitting job, but i have no insurance or anything. what ED helpline could i call??? i feel weak but i guess it's cuz i've never not eaten before. ? i wanna cry sometimes. i dont want people or my family to find out about this, cuz they wouldnt believe me.

g2g but bbl prolly,
Alicia

i ate something for the past 3 days but i gained weight and i feel heavy again but yeah. :(

i am also trying to deal with the fact that i did have a miscarriage 2 1/2 wks after my preg. test was + and that hurts, cuz it was because i was raped. :( i want the little baby back.

i know he/she was only 2 1/2 wks old inside me but it was still my child.... it was a misc. cuz no period of mine has ever been like that. i saw a really small sac and a form inside it, and i figured out it was My baby!!! i cant believe it died! i didnt realize it until i googled it and prayed and asked God... :(

Just know that whatever you go through won't be in vien if you use it for the Lord. All this that you've been through can be a help to other girls in the future.
If the eating thing is still bothering you, just make sure that you take everything one step at a time. If you are hungry, but nothing appeals to you, you could maybe try working on somthing small. Its not profound adivce, but thats all I have to offer.
I will keep you in my prayers.
I am believing God that he has somthing great in store for you. Its always darkest before the dawn.

i used to think i was anorixic.... i would take one bite out of bread and be full..but i was so worried i developed anxiety attacks about it...and my mom just said its my mind. If i was anorexic.. iwould really be worried about eating..right?
The problem was that i was eating less and i got a smaller stomach.. which made me think i was anorixic.
enyways...idk...did that help at all?
