Hello.
I really don't know why I"m writing this... I guess I just need to vent. I'm 17 years old... I think I'm at a normal weight. Well I must be cause no one ever takes my anorexia seriously... I was taken to the hospital about six months ago by my best friend because I hadn't eaten in a week and had lost over 15 pounds... the nurse weighed me and then sent me home.. cause I was only 5 lbs under the weight for my age and height... I feel so uncared for. I know I have a problem and I WANT to get better but no one cares. I try and get help and no one takes me seriously. I'm way below normal weight now and I can't even get an appointment with someoen cause they say there is no reason... and there aren't any other doctors...
and my mother seems to think I'm just fine... I hate it.. its like she doesn't even notice me anymore... the fact that all my clothes are falling off of me and she thinks I'm just fine... its so frustrating...
Anyways... I'm sorry to have bugged you all...

You are not a bother sweetie....perhaps your mother is preoccupied with her own issues and does not mean to "overlook" your weight. Maybe she does not see the weightloss b/c she is so involved in other issues. While it does not make it right....it doesn't mean your mother does not care...she does...as do I and everyone here. We are all here for each other....never forget sweetie.

Girl, I feel ur pain. Most of my clothes I cant wear anymore because they seem so big all of a sudden, and the ones i can still wear seem to be getting bigger everyday. And my mom doesnt seem to notice. Personally, I dont think she cares how skinny i am as long as im not fat. she doesnt care that i cant remember what its like to be warm. she doesnt care that the whites of my eyes are brown, and she doesnt care that my skin is constantly dry and peeling. but at least you have friends that seem to care. my friends assume that ill be ok. i used to think so, but now im not so sure. *sigh* im here anytime for ya
