Hello, my name is Sara, I'm new. I'm not going to write some big story about why I'm here or what I'm going through or anything. Because to be honest, I just don't know what it is. I'm not even sure if it is an eating disorder, my parents seem to think that I'm just being too picky or something. But when I get upset or something bad happens or I get in a row with my parents over something, I'll restrict my food...even when I'm starving and my stomach's sore and I feel sick..I just wont eat. I don't know why it is...just when things are getting out of control, that's what I do. But I'm very under weight, and I can't afford to do that anymore. So, that's why I want to start dealing with it.
Anyway, I did end up writing rather a lot.
I guess I want to know is there anyone else like me?
I'm not even sure if it qualifies as anything, sometimes I think if it could be named as some kind of disorder or something, I would feel relieved..then my parents would take more notice. My dad really just says I have to help myself, and that makes me feel so alone and actually makes me worse. I don't know. It probably sounds stupid. Or like I'm so dramatic. I don't know.
Anyways, hello everyone. <3

Hy, parents can be...ah well...um 'hard work', you know in your heart whether your relationship with food is right or not, and by what you've said its obvioulsy a problem for you/something that concerns you. Have you ever considered getting it checked out with a Dr? Its k if u dont want to, it took me years before i finally did (thought i could sort it on my own), as you said putting a name to it can help, and there are lots of groups that can help/support you, and it mite help....um you've obviously taken the brave step of coming on here and idk if u know but beat runs some self-help groups? um how old are you by the way (hope you dont mind me asking)...take care

hey sweetheart,
I'm no longer underweight, but can relate to what you are saying as when I get upset I tend to get myself into quite a state, and don't eat because of it.
let me know how things are going,
take care,
lexy -xxx-
