Why dont doctors take me seriously when I tell them?!
Question:
Why dont doctors take me seriously when I tell them?
I have no appetite for food, often go for days without eating and I know this is bad for me but I have been like this for over 20 years. Although I hate eating, I love cooking and watching others eat my creations. I can spend upto 10 hours thinking of a menu, buying and cooking a meal but not eat it myself.
I want to have a healthier lifestyle. I am about 7 stone a present ( am normally about 6 st 5lbs) and am very petite. I worry about what a doing to my body. Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks
Answers:
It sounds like you may have anorexia but get in contact with an eating disorder association in your area (I'm not sure where you're from).
People with anorexia love cooking for other people, love watching people eat and think about food all the time... but hate eating themselves - a lot of the things you mention here.
Again, nobody here is qualified to answer your question but like I said above, have a look in your phone book and see if there are any helplines or associations which may be able to help you.
Good luck!
