I'm Hayley, I'll try to help you as best I can. I'm 18, and a senior in high school. I like art, music, and clothing. I'm a vegetarian abd have been consistent with it for four years. I have two dogs a westie named misty and a Maltese/poodle mix named mally. I know a lot about dogs because any time
my dogs get a scratch, I research and call the vet haha.

What exactly is the definition of an eating disorder and depression? I go through periods of time, usually they only last 1 or 2 days, (often on weekends or vacations) where I feel totally depressed and fat. I just got an exercise bike and it is REALLY hard for me to stay off it. I feel like every second of time I have, I should be using it. I weigh 85 pounds, and I'm 14, so deep down, I know that I have a decent body. I fear the future, and I fear becoming overweight. For a while, I've been giving part of my dinner to my dad. Particularly things I don't like to eat, such as green beans, sweet potatoes, and chicken. ( But only certain parts of my dinner.) He is starting to suspect me of anorexia.

I don't think I'm anorexic, I just cannot digest a ton of food (mainly veggies and meat) at one time. I feel like my life is "All Or Nothing." I HAVE to eat healthy for the day. If I don't eat healthy and perfectly, then I end up giving up and pigging out on candy. I believe these problems are connected to depression-related problems.

What sense do you make out of all of this?
Am I going crazy?
Please don't sugguest I get professional help.
There is NO way I can do that.
So if you say, "see a doctor."
I will rate you a 1.
Thanks.

You just don't see yourself realisticly. & its not from depression, its from low confidence in yourself. You think you have to do these things, because your afraid of what will happen, if you don't. & maybe even what people will think of you.

My friend actually suffered from something like this. But, she took a tonnn of walks to the point where she passed out. She weighed like 90 though but this happened when she was 13. [were 14 now.]

I think you should try to get your condidence up higher. Not stuck up. because, those people are usually insecure people too. Just confident. Go infront of your mirror & say all your good caulties. & do that everyday. & then you'll probably be better in no time.


Now, if you don't think you lack confidence & stuff.. & you still believe its related to depression.. then google it & just type in like signs of depression, if you have any of it.. thhenn.. if you don't want to go to a doctor [btw why not?] then atleast tell someone. to help you get better, like a friend.
