i have problems thinking about how fat i am and at first it was no big deal, i would just not eat, i would come home from shool having not eaten and then tell my parents that i was full and didnt want dinner. i then started osessing over it and now i get into bed and i cant sleep because i can feel my stomach pulling my body i dont know what to do because if i told my parents they would be so upset and porbably force me to eat but now i cant sleep or eat and i can feel myself getting fatter and fatter and i dont know what to do

Unfortunately, yes. It doesn't mean you're crazy, it just means that your way of thinking about this is distorted, but you probably already knew that. You need to talk to someone about this. It doesn't have to be your parents. You can get help from a counselor at school or even a hotline (1-800-931-2237). I'm sure if you parents knew what was going on, they may be angry at first, but out of confusion and worry for you. It's a scary thing and it's not a fun place to be in your life. Don't you want to feel happy again and not have this to carry with you and think about all the time every day? It's definitely possible, but you have to reach out for help. I wish you the very best of luck.
