Anorexia...help..please?!


Question: Anorexia...help..please?
(repost) Only got a couple good answers from when I posted this.

First off..I'm 5"4 14 years old and 83 pounds. My mom thinks I need to go to this clinic place..I'm not sure what it is called but it's for eating disorders. I talked to her for hours. Well,she did most of the talking and I was thinking "Crap,I'm not going to get out of this." We often compromise. She left for a while talked to my dad and did other crap. She is a teacher at my school. L.A,gym,health. But thats not important...anyway.. She is really good friends with my health teacher. So my mom came to me and is like pack your suitcase. I spaz out telling her I'm not going and she tells me your going to be staying at Mrs.______ house for 2 weeks and if that doesn't work your going to that clinic.

That I posted 2 days ago..I didn't feel like explaining/retyping everything. So...I'm at my teachers house now.. I got here today though.. At like 5ish after school and practice. (sports) I've been in the bathroom for what 3 hours now. She doesn't argue with me really. Not so far. She was talking about how you need to eat dinner and so on but then I heard her husband saying like take it easy today or w.e..So yea..Just a little while ago..She said that we needed to talk and that I needed to come out of the bathrooom..I said we didn't and she's like..It's about your journal. And I just stopped talking.. (THIS WAS YESTERDAY) I haven't talked to her she tried talking to me but I just turned my music up on my ipod while we were in the car...I haven't ate anything since I've been here..And she just said dinner is almost ready so...yea..I don't know what to do. Do I just eat and go throw up because I've done that before when I haven't even had anything to eat. Any comments to this?

jeeze everyone on here is an idiot. (not you, the people answering)
i would say you should play it out cool, relax a little and become more talkitive, this way it will be easier for you to deseive them. eat, not alot, honestly your stomach can't hold ,much, or at least isn't suppost to. then after you've eaten DON'T go straight to the bathroom, wait as long as you possiblly can to seem less suspicious. also i suggest you take a shower while you purge, this way you can just wash the food down the drain, you won't smell and they can't see or hear anything.

small yellow brick road, though can't say i'm skipping, lol..



you need help. NOW. 84 pounds, how disgusting. you must be a walking skeleton. let me ask you this, do you want to die?



my brother went through anorexia and it was horrible, he never eaten and on diet stiff and low sugar or no sugar, if i was you i'd tell this women how you feel you're not loosing anything? And tell her if your willing to eat that you want to go home, you're mum's doing what's best for you. Now, i suffer from eating problems i can't eat someday's my tummy rumbles but i don't feel it and now im 5.11 stone. and that's very bad. If that was your kid what would you do? I think, you would do the same.



i think if you're not going to make yourself eat (without throwing up) or if you can't, you should definitely go to a clinic. eating disorders can kill you; you need to take care of your body. your teacher may be handling it the wrong way but it she wouldn't be doing this if she didn't care about you. try to take care of yourself and if you can't, go to a hospital. and soon.



Your parents are trying to do what's best for you, but it's a difficult thing to handle.

Don't throw up afterwords, they'll find out and flip out, it'll just make it worse.

Eat just a little tiny bit, I know it's arduous but just take a few bites until they're pleased, it'll cause much less trouble. It will take a while for you to get involved in your own recovery, but until then it's best to cope in a way that doesn't cause too much chaos.



Well first of all I don't know your health teacher but I have to say staying at her house may or may not be helpful. Some health teachers are really smart but some, like my high school health teacher, well not so much. Also a lot of people take advice better from people they don't know so getting help at an ED clinic might be better. Other then that idk what to say, I'm not going to be all like "eat a freaking cheeseburger" like some rude person on here was cuz that won't help. Feel free to email me if you want to and hope you feel better!

Used to be anorexic but never went to treatment.



You posted this exact same question yesterday. So... how long have you been at your 'teachers house'?

I think it's innappropriate for you to be staying with one of your teachers. You need a doctor, not a teacher.



I have experienced an eating disorder. I have Crohn's disease and for the longest time I thought eating would make me sick so I didn't Im 5'7 and I got down to 80 lbs. It was very serious I could've killed myself. When your body runs out of fat it begins to eat your vital organs. Something I didn't know and you probably dont realize. I'm not here to lecture or judge you because I've been in your very same place. However its not a good place. What good is not eating going to do for you. They eventually had to put a feeding tube in my nose and pump nutrition in me. It was very embarrasing. I didn't get better until I faced reality and realized that people weren't there to hurt me or make me miserable. They were there because they cared and were worried about me. Youre the only one that can truly help yourself. Nothing is worth killing yourself over, and you will get there. Its a very scary place to be. I really hope things work out for you. Try to think logically about what will happen to you if you don't eat. Start out slow and try to build up to eating full amounts. Whats the worst that will happen to you if you eat. If anything it will make you look better and feel better. Trust me :)



Yes, I have a comment. You're a freakin idiot. Eat a damn cheeseburger and a doughnut while your at it. And keep it down. People like you make me sick.
