Hi,

I remember the first time i stopped and thought i might have an ED. I have EDNOS too i think. I'm not sure what my weight is, but last time it was checked i was underweight. I have some characteristics of anorexia and some characteristics of binge eating disorder. I also suffer from depression and OCD.

The best thing you can do is to go to someone like a school nurse/a trusted teacher and talk to them about what is going on for you. Try and be as open as you can, although i know this is very hard. They will be able to support and to help you, and they will be able to give you advice, and the school nurse would probably refer you to a counsellor.

let me know how it goes,

take care,

Thank you for you support :) I am going to the doctor soon and I'm nervous as hell well I can'ty put how much I weight it's a trigger but I am obverweight for my height, nice to meet you :)

Heya sweety,

First of all welcome to the board.  talk to your GP or if you do not get on with them then talk to another GP.  They are very much aware of ED's.  However,  I have found that  some people beleive that unless you are bones they do not always take any notice.  I haowever have not got to the skin and bones stage and I am receiving help for it before I get to the point of hospitalisation.  However you must want the help.  It sounds like ana but ana will stop you from feeling like you need help and you must fight against this. Think of it this way.  An ED is an enemy someone who hates you so much that they will go to the extreme to kill you. If it was someone that you could see you would fight for your life. You can do this with ana and it is good that you want to.  It will be difficult but you can do it.

Talk to your GP then approach your parents about it. 

We are all here for you.

Sorry if this post feels like a slap in the face it isnt ment to(I am not great at posting first posts to another post.). Am here for you if you want to caht.

hugs

hey sweetheart.

just wanted to let u know that u rnt alone in facing ur ED. im at uni, (about to turn 19 on the 26th-  eek!)

i think for a long time suffered from ednos, b4 i got became underweight- im only just admitting i might not be healthy, and think i have ana. i feel fat, and definately would have prefered help 6months ago, to letting things slip this far. i definately think u have an ed of some sort. is there ny one u can talk to?

u mentioned u have had a hard time in life :(   has nything gotten worse recently? i know tht when i get stressed i exercise more nd more- on no fuel.  nd even tho its my way of "coping" im starting to realise it is doing me no favours.

lots of love and prayers.

rememeber God is a God of love  

how kl is tht-  we have so much to live for!    i always think of this when i get down, it cheers me up immensly!

Hi thank you everyone for your kind words, yes things have go much worse lately, no details but it's been almost too hard recently. I rang the NHS helpline and they told me they think it's an ED-NOS and I have arranged an appointment with my GP but I'm so nervous. My friends have been telling me I was ana for months but I am only just seeing the signs, I hope I can get better before I get hospitalised I'm so scared :( Thanks again to you all

Heya sweety, Well done for making an appointment with a GP. sweetheart you have the strength inside you to get better and you will. If you end up being hospitalised then do not be scared make use of it. Just try and eat a little at a time I know it is hard but you can do it. let me know how it is going Take care hugs xx

Hi,

Well done for phoning up the NHS phone line. That was a big step to take and it was really brave of you to do it.

Just be honest with your GP and tell them how you feel, and they will be able to help you and give you some more support.

Don't be scared of being hospitalized. I went into hospital and it helped me a lot and the staff were really nice. If you want any more info on hospital let me know and i'll be happy to give it to you *hugs*

Let me know how everything goes,

Heya,

I'm not great. Mum found out today and was angry. Am being weiged tomorrow at GP surgery by nurse and I am waiting for a psychiatrist referal to come through.  I am just scared of all this. I want to let go and yet I do not want to let go of my ED.
