about

I'm Amanda. I'm here to help you out, so if you need something then ask me.
I specialize in problems dealing with mental health, seeing as I've got quite a few of those myself.
I took a break from advicenators, but I'm back and better than ever.

I'm practical and I'll tell you the truth straight up. So ask away lovelies, I'll be here all week. :]



advice

please help-

my weight was 124 (5'3, 14 yrs old) in the begining of the year. by april i got to 115 with healthy eating and running/exercising. then it was 110 in june for my physical. now my scale shows me between 100-105 though my scale is off a little. i don't feel like i do, but my friend who was annorexic and knows alot about it tells me she thinks i have an eating disorder. alot of people tell me im skinny and look real thin. my friends mom tells me i need to eat im getting to thin, and a few other people too. i dont think i do really. i eat good in my opinion. i eat portion sizes, like with my cereal and meats and stuff. i eat alot of fruits and veggies. i haven't had a candy bar in months, and on speical occasions i have cake for parties, or desserts but never over my limit. i do exercise.. cheerleading, bike riding alot, running sometimes, i exercise with crunches in my room all the time. when i wake up and push my stomach out it doesn't even go very far. but still i haven't had my period since the begining of april and it was really light for like 3 days. i get really dizy when i get up from laying down (my mom says i might need more iron). i dont know if i have manutrition because i do eat alot of good food. i still want to be thinner sorta, but mainly i just have this biggest fear of gaining weight. i have a weird issue with looking at every food (wheather at parties, houses, my kitchen, stores) and seeing the labels and deciding what i can and can't have. i dont know if i should tell my mom to take me to the doctor or not, i dont know how to tell her. also at times i have zero energy like im so tired i can't move around or whatever. im not sure. someone please help.. anything is appericated.

The advicer below me is right, you need to get your weight back up. It sounds like you have some definite symptoms, but only a professional will be able to diagnose you. I suggest talking to your mom about seeing a counselor who can in turn reccomend you to a nutritionist or a doctor.
The fact that you show some fear about gaining weight and you haven't had your period for months aren't good signs. Just keep your head up and do what you know is right in your heart.
Best of luck!
