how anorexia kills you

Anorexia is fatal. Anorexia is the highest death rate of all other mental illnesses. Between the ages of 19 - 24, Anorexia is the highest cause of death for females. If left untreated, it will get worse. If you haven't already, seeking professional help is essential. To learn more about anorexia and contact me directly visit the bella vita website.

How can you possibly have anorexia if you do try to eat and do want to eat but when you do, you become sick either with diarrhea or vomiting so sometimes you won't to avoid this but overall you want to get better and have even gone as far as smoking marijuana to try to eat without pain but that doesn't always work either....so how can you have it?

I want you to remember this, it's not about being fat or thin, it's about being healthy! I realize that you are going through a difficult age right now, and sometimes things seem like they can't get any worse, but somehow they always seem to work themselves out. I suggest that you talk to your mom about what's going on, tell her exactly how you feel, not what you think she wants you to say.

I am a recovering Bulimic and I understand how you feel but I wish I could take back the years I wasted thinking about being skinnier. It really doesnt matter in the end.

Yes, dear, I do think you are still suffering from anorexia, and I think you probably realize it yourself. Anorexia is a hard disease to recover from, but yes, it is definitely possible! I myself have 15 years recovery from an Eating Disorder; not Anorexia, but I have spoken with many people who have longterm recovery from that as well.

The same day everyweek, first thing in the morning, with nothing on. I find it more accurate than what the dr says. Because you have clothes on which make you weigh more. Also you are heavier in the afternoon than the morning and you cant always go to the dr at the same time. I definatly try not to weigh everyday though which I did at the beginning of my pregnancy. If you are gonna weigh at home though you do need a good scale.

Dear Meg34, You can go home. Colleges honor Anorexia as a medical withdrawal. With your current symptoms, you need support. You probably need an eating disorder treatment program: outpatient day treatment, residential treatment or possibly inpatient treatment. Go to your campus’ health center for your physical symptoms. Ask to speak with a counselor at school who has experience with eating disorders. The health center and counselor can help assist you to get the proper treatment.

Get someone close on board expose the anorexia for what it is what it is trying to do to you be HONEST that is a must , dont make excuses for the anorexia dont stick up for it. It is trying to hurt you and you must expose it. Go to your doctor and get yourself referred to a specialist physcotheripist.

m no expert but I would say your in the begginging or middel stage. You are one pound under weight and I take you by what you said you want to lose weight so my guess is yes. But I would talk to your doctor because no one online can diagnose you. You need to see a profeshanal doctor. And try posting this in the eating disorders fourm!!!

Talk to a counselor at school, your doctor, or another trusted adult and have them refer you to a therapist experienced with eating disorders. Your ED is related to how you feel about yourself and you need help working through both so you can go on to live a good life. Please do it soon.

s a chance you can do that that is wonderful. If you can see yourself this positively you may not have anorexia. Try the way you said and see, but you may still need psychological support and/or advice from a nutritionist about eating healthily.

I agree with you. Too many people get after us for wanting to be "too thin" but you know what? We have the right to be thin, if that's how you wish to go about it, all the more power to you!

You can tell her that you prefer she not cook for you or try to get you to eat, that you know how to eat healthy and will take care of yourself, just as you wish she would take care of herself. I was anorexic and bulimic for 27 years b/4 getting into recovery. I watched friends die of this disease. I horrible to watch, but even worse to live. It literally takes your life from you, even if it doesn't kill you. You can see that. It takes friends away, family away, dreams away.

The second problem is that you listen to the voice in your head which is telling you all the wrong things. You need to sort this out with a profesional..there are many trained to deal with eating disorders with teenagers...your parents or your doctor can help you find the right person. This can be a very serious health risk...see a professional as soon as possible.

This will tell you what you eat and remind you to eat. You can set up alarms in your phone, laptop etc to eat. You could ask your friend to check on you. Apart from this, you need to undergo constant counseling. You may also need medications so, please consult a doctor specializing in eating disorders. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

first of all your periods stop because you are starving your body, and messing up all your hormone levels and plus you have no body fat. i have had an ed for almost 12 years and i didnt get my period i think till i was 18 it is not healthy to do. i have tremendous amounts of knowledge of this disease and if you ever need someone to talk to please just leave a message for me.

Hi dentedbiskcuit. I hope you come back and tell us how you are. I think it is always a find line with eating disorders but airing on the side of making sure is really important. Anorexia as with all mental health issues can get worse. I had a 'sort of' issue with it when I was a work out maniac and controlled my food in a way that wasn't healthy. Every bite was measured and I didn't take a lot of bites. I was very thin. Was I anorexic?

I have been trying to go on anarexia group chats to talk to people who have it, but not got much feedback. It must be hard for you with your friend suffering from it.

I was in it for 13 years, and am still fertile, but it depends on how your body reacts to the malnutrition that it withstands for so long. Have you asked your Dr? Be brave, hang in there!! Be blessed!

You can tell because it's all in your uterus if you were thin before than you will definitely know what it is. I am starting to see mine and I'm 13 weeks today.

t know how easy it was for him since he lives with smokers and is around smokers but he apparently mannaged. I highly reccomend an electric ciggarette. They still have a ciggarette taste but it's not a problem. Your gonna cough up tar If your a deep heavy smoker, it's normal. It means your lungs can't react to the tar right. So really buy an electric ciggarette.

Anorexia is when a person starves themselves. I think you might be on the verge of anorexia. You should eat more calories and try to be fit instead of trying to be thin. Gain muscle and lose fat. Strength training will help, I think. But eat healthy and gain muscle. Gaining muscle and exercising regularly but not TOO much with help you become lean and healthy, so you can be happy.That way you can become lean and even LOOK and BE healthy.

i dont want to test yet...you know scared for the (-) sign that i have been getting for the past10 mths!! fingers crossed..but yeah the back issue??

I have temporal wasting and nobody has been knowledgeable enough to tell me how to reverse it. I have spoken to about a ten nurses and even seen my doctor..all of whom had no clue what to tell me. I feel really defeated because I have been trying to add more protein, calories, and carbs to my diet, but with little results. I look like I have Anorexia, TB, or HIV when I don't!! What should I do? Do you even know?

Like I worry about still being able to do things we do now with the baby and have momey for everything. How far along are you?
