Me againnn... Okay, I'm still the eating disorder girl. In your answer, you mentioned an irregular heartbeat. That's really weird because for months now i'll have times when i'll feel like my heart is beating really hard and fast and it's soo bad i won't be able to go to sleep. Is that kinda what u meant?!?! And about telling my mom, my school counselor found out about it last year. She called my mom but she didn't believe her. She told me, "don't let that mean lady tell you that u have an eating disorder". My friends had dragged me in there to help. And she knows that i feel like my heart is going to hard and fast, but she calls it nerves. But about what?!?! I've started skool and i like it and i have a ton of friends. Well, you accomplished your purpose of scaring me. Thanx, i think. But yeah, just wondering about the whole heart thing. Any suggestions?!?!

Your mom didn't believe it coming from the counsler...she will if you give it to her straight. Tell her the counsler was right. Tell her you can no longer deal with it by yourself.
An irregular heartbeat CAN be brought on by a panic attack. I honestly don't think that is your case. I think you need to get some help. The thing is, when you have so abused your body this way, a lot of times you can't just go back to eating normally. You have to be slowly worked back up to that. It needs to be done under medical supervision.
Have you ever heard of Karen Carpenter? She was a singer in the 70's with her brother. She died at age 32 of a heart attack brought on by anorexia and bulemia. As a matter of fact her death is what made the public realize that anorexia was a big problem. Look her up on the internet.
Tell mom. Go see a doctor. Do not leave out anything when you talk to either of them. Your mom may be in denial about you having a problem. If she doesn't believe you for some reason, and I think she will coming directly from you, go to another relative you can talk to. You really need help. I want you healthy so you can get on here and help others with the same problem. I want you to get well because you have such a great life out there ahead of you!
First step. Tell mom. Report back with hopefully good news ASAP! Hang in there, we'll get you fixed up before things get worse okay? :) YG ]
