Epilepsy and Eating Disorders - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

When I starve myself I have seizures. I haven't told my doctors or anyone else for that matter that I know what causes my seizures because I am afraid that they will make me eat and I don't want to get fat again. I know that this is a bad thing and I don't want to have seizures anymore, but I am so obsessed with the idea of staying thin that I don't know what to do anymore. I am so confused. Please help.

Do you have elpisy or are the seizures plan from you straving yourself? I know the fear of not wanting to get fat, but do you truely want to be 6 feet under for that is were you are headed hon. I wish I had the words to reassure you, but I'm not sure what those words are. Sometimes a person has to hit rock bottom before they realize what they are doing to themseleves; othertimes this isn't enough and someone else steps in and makes the person get help and yet other times the person lives with the eating disorder until it kills them for complications. Take care sweetie, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

hiya, its only a suggestion but it might not be epelepsy it could be chemical inbalances. I am no way saying that starving yourself is ok but maybe if you try to keep drinking water and take some mineral and vit suppliments it might help with the fitting.

Please try and seak help for it though its so serious.

Only last night i was watching a program on a girl who is in a vegatated state due to an ED which led to a fit. She now can't even sit up or talk or comminuate

Please don't get like that or die, please hang on and seek help
