im afraid to gain weight so i dont want to eat HELP.

I know how you feel. I don't want to be sick, but at the same time I'm too paranoid to eat. Why do you want to be so thin?

i dont know i lost a lot of weight from being sick and im still sick and i gained like 3 pounds and im freaking out i mean i lost 15. but i want to stay in the really low numbers

unknown_1!! i thought that same way and i can totally relate! but hun, u musnt think that way!! o please o please o please! as u all know, i went to a retreat and it helped ALOT! my communicating skills to my rents and watnot and outlook of thingsr great! i would consider seeing help or SOMETHING! u wanna know something? i look awful! i am 14, 5'1 and weigh 82 lbs. somethin else? a gal who was there (such a sweetie) is 16, my hieght, and 78 lbs. she looks 30. and she just got out of the hosptial. now she cant excercise and it breaks her heart because she is such an active girl. now i cant excercise, and it breaks my heart. u dont want that. i dont want that for NEBODY! u are so much more than the ED. u can beat it!

thats underweight hun!! o ur so young! u need ur nutrients!! what r sum things u enjoy? think about those and think about how much ur risking those with not eating. my dance career is like PooF! gone! in gym class, ppl over power me because i am so small and weak. please...take care of yourself!

ur not competing with eachother r u? o hun, thats not healthy! i used to think the same way, but what she weighs is not healthy for her height. and what ur doing is not healthy either. we need our nutrients!! o hun, skin and bones is not attractive!!

please, take care!!

Hi! Sammy, how did you go about getting help?? How long did it take you from the point of realising there was a problem to taking about it with someone? i don't know what to do. I told my friend the other day that i wanna see sum1 because I kno i need to coz im really not dealing with my problem myself. However, I have always been the strong 1 in my family and group of friends and have never asked for help!! Im scared to death of approaching anyone about it. My options are basically a tutor at Uni, my friends tutor, the college chaplain, a doctor or a councillor. I never ever go to the doctors about anything so that terrifies me but my throat is really swollen to the point that it is difficult to breath and im worried about wot other damage i may have caused by throwing up. Please help!!

hey u! yeah, ive been in that boat!! i know!! it is scary to apporach ppl, but i had enuf! ppl were talking behind my back, watching me like a hawk, i was making my rents sad which made me sad, so i just had to confront!! i asked my mom for help and now she is making shure i hkeep my food down and such. please, do the same! its hard, scary, but love and support is the best medicane!

im going to stop if i can help it im a competeing dancer and i cant risk the chance of not dancing my health is really bad right now ive had a respitory problem for 4 months now and have been on meds the whole time im weak enough

good for u! please, do stop, thats another reason why im workin at it, i play sports, dance and its way to risky! i lost my abililty to be strong in my sports and it breaks my heart. i dont want u to go thru the same thing.
