Is this anorexia? Or am I paranoid?!


Question: Is this anorexia? Or am I paranoid?
Hi my name is Starr, I'm a 13 year old girl and 5'3. I don't eat breakfast or lunch and always eat dinner in my room( If I eat at all) because i don't want to be heard crying. I spend a lot of time pinching all the fat on my body. I'm not underweight. When I began starving myself last November I was 141 now I'm about 118. I live with only my mom and two sisters. I play laccrosse and soccer. I suffer from depression. I have a lot of the symptoms of anorexia like always being cold, feeling shaky, hating my self, intense fear of being fat, and other stuff too. I told my best friend but and she lugged me to guidance when I was planning on killing myself. I don't need crap on how dangerous this is and how I'm killing myself. Please no mean answers either.

Answers:

I am not an expert, but from everything that I learned in school, and from my mom who was a health teacher it sounds like anorexia to me. I am sorry that your friend did not understand but guidance wont help unless you seek it out yourself. It can be difficult to do but there is always some light through the darkness you just need to concentrate on the things that you like about yourself. I am sure there are a bunch of people who love you, but you need to learn to love yourself. I hope that this helped even if just a little.



I do the same thing and I have done the starving thing though tell your mom or talk to a doctor I'm starting eight watchers and I'm 13 to and I have thought about starving and a pinch my skin to



i think its both. there is plenty to live for. you just haven't found it but you will. for now though you should see a dr for this



you are a young and you need lots of food.so change your life style please.



both



Sure sounds like it.

Did you know that not only being cold and shaky but also being depressed is actually a consequence of not having enough food for your body to work with? There is a good chance that if you could make yourself eat normally again, you would loose the depression too. Summer is coming, and this has not gone on for long yet. The sooner you do something about it, the better. Your friend was a good friend for lugging you to counseling. You should definitely try more counseling, soon.

I have not got/had anorexia, so I hope I did not say anything mean ;)
