anorexic wannabe?


Question Posted Monday December 8 2008, 10:41 pm

Okay, I'll be honest. I won't say it's one of my friends. This problem is strictly me. I'm a 15 year old girl. I am around 5,3 and I weigh around 102-105. It depends on the day. Anyways, let's go to the problem I'm having. I have this weird thing where I strive to be anorexic. I know I can't be buliemic. I can't make myself throw up on cue because I'm a singer. Also, I've tried it. I just can't. I think it's also because I know alot about anorexia and the bad effects. Yet, I want to be it? Basically if you're lost you should be around WTF?. I have friends I have a good life. It's not like I need a lot of attention. It's just that I seem to always want to be anorexic. I'm skinny and I know that. I just don't know whats wrong with me. Should I seek help? I haven't talked to anyone about this ever. I figure since this is anonymous I can get an honest answer. I know that you can't decide to become anorexic. it's a disease within your head. I just always feel like thats something I want to be. I often count calories. I try to do it but I can't. All I need are some answers. Thank you.

It's good that you're asking questions about this. Anorexia is a very dangerous thing. You should read about other people's experiences with fighting this and it may shed some light on your situation. Read more about it's causes and symptoms and see if you identify with any. Your health is nothing to play with. If you feel you have a negative body image, talk to your parents. Maybe see your doctor. A check up might bring to light any vitamin deficiency you might have. No one WANTS to be anorexic. It's an eating disorder even harder to treat than a drug addiction. If you feel the need to be thin, ok, cool, but strive to be HEALTHY as well. And that means eating and exercising. Anorexia will ruin your skin, nails, hair, teeth, mess with your major organs - who wants to lose kidney function? Really, nothing good there. Don't keep your feelings a secret. Get some counseling if you and your parents feel it's necessary.

Good luck!

You need to ask your self if you will ever act on this feelings that you are having. Talk to your parents let them know first off you are not anorexic but you feel the need to be and your not sure whom you should talk to. Your parents recommend some counsling. They will probably try to scare you from it first. your in good shape now from what you have wrote. Being Anorexic will ruin your life.
