Eating/weight problems...?!
Question: ok...im 16 and i weigh 7st6 and am 5ft 7 (nearly). i know that i am very very underweight for my height and my bmi comes out at around 16/17. my only problem is that last year after i had a really bad arguement with my parents and my dad beat me up i turned to bullemia, anorexia and cutting myself up. i know now that it was stupid but i couldnt cope. i also ran away that night. i came back early in the morning with yet more arguements. my only problem is that at that time i lost 2st and i just cant put it back on again. when i find things too stressful i slip back into doing all 3. last time i cut myself was a couple of weeks ago because my dad beat me up and id made a promise to my kind of bf that i wouldnt do that and i havent since even when my dad strangled me. but at the minute im really struggling with eating properly. i promised the same guy that i wont make myself sick and im eating properly. i feel more awake from it but i feel constantly sick after eating. how do i stop this?

get some help right away- you need professional treatment. the cutting aside, anorexia and bulimia are serious diseases and you cannot cure yourself on your own. The sooner you get support the better the chance you have to make a full recovery. otherwise you are doing damage to your body (not even talking about the cuts) that you will never recover from. I just met a girl who walks around with a tube in her nose that she has to put 500 calories worth of formula in evry day. She has messed up her throat and teeth so much she cant even swallow. its disgusting, sad and she regrets that she didnt ask for help sooner
Are you saying your 76 pounds because that is impossible, you would be dead rotting in the ground.
Sweetheart you need to get away from your father. Talk to a school counselor about the conditions in your house and what your father is doing to you - you are being abused and it's dangerous. You need to tell an adult you can trust and seek help.
talk to your doc and move out
I hate that you have to go through this. U really need to tell somebody you trust, a best friend's parents, teacher, church family, grandparents, aunt, or police. Someone that you know will watch out for you and care for you. You need to get out of the situation with your father. You need to go live somewhere else for you to heal yourself and the way you deal with your problems.
go to a doctor, if you dont want to do that try and get some books on proper dieting. i.e. eating too much after you havent eaten can make you feel sick. if you havent eaten eat like things like soup and fruit before you have a heavy meal.
firstly your dad shouldent be beating you up like that. secondly i think your stomach orobably shrunk but all you have to do is force yourslf to eat. if that doesnt help get professional help, it can work. dont think about the fact youv eating i must be sick, i think its more a psycological condition than it is a medical condition, get professional help
Call the police about yor dad!! and you need to go to a group therapy its one of the easiest ways to help things like cutting and bulimia in teenagers becaus eyou know your no talone and make friends to help you deal with it who are going through the same thing and you can suport them to...
GOOD LUCK!! :D
please get help and keep me posted my email is lovestoread1992@yahoo .com
Hello Tinks, it is not normal behaviour for a father to beat his children, some parents think they can do this as the child belongs to them!! WRONG!!! You need help, be kind to yourself, self harming is not the way to cope, start to love yourself and seek guidance from people that can help you, you are worth it. Be careful though of not going from one bad situation to another, this can happen when you feel vulnerable
