Im 15, I currently have a eating disorder, Its been about a year now, I think even before then, but I didn't realise. I dont know what to do, I was looking on Beat before just crying becuase im sick of living like this, sick of lying, sick of not being invited to places. Sick of life. I have been to the doctors before and they did nothing. Now my mam and everyone else thinks ive stopped binging and purging. well i havent, although admittedly I am doing it less, but thats only because im eating less. I wish i could be normal again, how did i even get here? But i cant be normal, because normal means gaing weight, and i cant do that. Recently ive gained weight, but i feel hugee! I HAVE to lose it again and more. I cry most days if not every day, because everything is wrong and think if i told someone i would be able to get better, maybe. But i cant do that, and I dont know what to do. Im really sorry for going on. But can annyone help me?
Thanks x

Hi thanks for your message, its good to know that im not alone. I know your right but I just cant seem to be able to eat the 'normal' amount of calories. If i binge i cant help but purge, its like sometimes i think, yeah you need help. But then i dont know who to see or what to say. I dont want to tell my mam, im to scared, i would prefer it if she just found out. I think i might email beat or something or maybe get a friends help? im not sure. but i will try. I know its going to be hard. How are you?
How did you get through it?

heya hun
im beth, 18 had ana/ednos for about a year!
you sound rly down n u dnt deserve 2 feel lke this! is there ne1 u cud talk 2 4 support lke friends or ne1? u defiantely deserve to get sum help, to suport u thru this difficult time, eds are so exhausting mentally n physically n i no wat u mean bwt being fed up all the time! evrythin jst feel so rubbish doesnt it! but u can beat this, n u shud defo try going bck 2 ur doctor n telling them how u jst feel so down - u shudnt b ignored!
its gr8 that uve bin able 2 cut down ur binging/purging, but restricting ur food will stil leave u feeling so rubbish, so u need a balanced variety of food to stay healthy
i no its rly difficult n ur not alone so im always here if u need sum1 2 talk 2! jst rememba ur beautiful even thou ur ed tells u ur not, but jst remember thats ur ed talking, not how u actually look in reality! stay strong, n u can beat this no mata how low u feel atm. always here if u want!!
lots love beth xxx

Heya sweety,
You sound like a really intelligent girl who is scared of what is happening and of herself. Some one who knows what to do but at the same time does not want to because last time it went wrong and did not help. An internal conflict.
Sweety what you have put about the doctors is strange and annoying and to go back will be scary. Please go though. See a doctor that you did not see before and see if they take anymore notice of you. Tell them what you have told us and more. Do not back down and ask for a psychiatric referal because I think you need one. Most GP's take ED's or eating problems seriously now although some may still not quite get them.
Like Danni1993 says , you probably do not need to lose weight and that you are of normal weight. As for your parents tell them when you are ready. I told mine that I was having problems when I got a referal letter so they could not stop me as it was possible to make my own way there.
If you want help go and get it. Stay strong.
Am here if you want to chat.
big hugs.

heys hunni,
email beat is a great startin point then mayb try n tell a friend or rite them a letter if thts easier for u. another fing u cud do is ull probs hav a skool nurse n counsillor u cud speak to. tell ur mum when ur readi hunni but shell probs rather u tell her than she find out mayb tell a friend first n get them to help u tell her.
hunni mayb try n just eat regually even if u dont eat lots of cals try n mak sure u hav a routine of when u eat cos tht can help u binge less.
hunni i got most of my support from my youth worker, she was the first person i told, she told my mum n basiclly helped me all the way thru n i cudnt hav done it wivout her. if uve got a close friend or family memebr or a teacher u trust then mayb fink abt speakin to them.
abt wot to say b a honest as u can. tell them u havin problems eatin rite, tht ur restrictin, n b/p n tht u want help n support n anyfin else u want to say tht u fink will b helpful. u r strong enuf to tell someone hunni. start by emailin beat as thts just lyk talkin to me then mayb rite to a letter to somene n maybe then get there help to c a either ur gp or someoen in skool
hunni im always here if u need me n ill keep prayin for u.
stay strong beautiful
