anorexia

972805 tn?1274024210 s normal for teenage girls to be depressed and to question ones sexuality but if you are cutting and have a problem with eating, you might have a problem dear. I could say this is a phase but it could be a serious issue. What you could do is talk to your family about your depression or go to talk to a professional.
Avatar f tn t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.

Avatar f tn My 16-year-old daughter has several tumors/nodules/goiters/cysts on her thyroid which were discovered last month. She had a biopsy last Thursday and we're just waiting on the pathology report to determine if they are cancerous. At this point her thyroid is functioning normally. We do not have a family history of any thyroid issues on either my side or her dad's. Is this a common issue that teenage girls can have?
Avatar f tn why do girls with anorexia stop getting their periods ? what is the link to Kyphosis to anorexia ?
179856 tn?1333547362 I was just reading about Portia DeRossi's anorexia and it says when she was down to 82 pounds she "was told she was suffering from a handful of serious conditions: osteoporosis, organ failure, cirrhosis of the liver and the auto-immune disease lupus." how would anorexia cause cirrhosis does anybody know? I'm just curious because I never heard of that before and was wondering how it was related.
Avatar m tn Hi i dint think you have eating disorder this more common in females but the think that make your complain important is your previous history self harm and i think you are smart to mention this so regarding your previous history i think you are suffering some sort of anxiety which is common in your age and easy to manage dont worry and dont ignore it be confident and speak to a doctor ...
Avatar f tn t eat proper meals ever she eats a lot of crisps and sweets. When we go in town I get lunch and if she "remembers" she has a small cheese and onion pasty and later a small chocolate milkshake. Whenever I've brought up her size she just says that it's because her mum doesn't feed her and tells me that she's not as thin as some people who are definitely underweight.
Avatar f tn I monitor her TV closely, but ads in prime child viewing do show lots of kissing. Is it normal for girls to talk about boys and kissing at this young age?
Avatar f tn I always check out what people are wearing, especially the teenages these days - both boys and girls. Why do fat girls wear tops showing their fat stomachs? I can't figure that one out. Do these people not have mirrors????!!!!! In any case, what your husband is doing sounds perverted.
Avatar f tn Proper nutrition is the goal in treating Anorexia. Food is medicine. To learn more about anorexia and treatment options, visit the bella vita website.
Avatar f tn I know that it can take over Your mind and it can make You feel horrible and it is difficult. I have been in hospital with Anorexia in the past for Five months and it was a horrible time, I had no control at all and was sedated if I tried removing the tube. It is so much easier to fight this and eat on your own than to feel powerless altogether. The thoughts might leave and might not but you can fight this and can be strong.

Avatar n tn re crossing into the area of Anorexia. I have heard about the trend with young people, especially girls, thinking that Anorexia is a "cool" or "in" thing. Well, it isn't. People die from this mental illness. Please, concentrate on being fit and healthy. When you exercise, do not do it in excess, but do not be a couch potato either. Go with moderation and go with an activity you actually enjoy. Do not become Obsessive/Compulsive about exercise or weight loss.
Avatar f tn Maybe you should stop listening to other people. You BMI is 15.9 meaning you're severely underweight. I would start seeing someone about this because it's called anorexia and it can cause a lot of problems.
904338 tn?1242262496 She is beautiful and loving but I have a huge concern and do not know what to do... She tells me that she is fat, that she looks at herself in the mirror and that she is ugly, she ALWAYS puts herself down. She always says that she does things wrong, that she had a bad day.. my question is should I be concern and take her to a psychologist I AM DESPERATE!!!!
Avatar f tn the problem is that i have two teenage girls 17 and 14. the 17 year old is excited about the pregnany but the 14 year old is highly upset. i kind of figured she would be upset so i had her older sister tell her. well the outcome of that is the 14 year old stated that I (mother) is stupid, and she wanted to hit me in my stomach. what should i do? should i talk to her later and hopefully it will pass?
Avatar f tn I am currently medically stable but have been struggling for three years with hypothyroid symptoms( constant fatigue, brain fog,cold hands, slow motor skill, anxiety and depression worse, and a couple other symptoms) despite my bmi being normal, and proper nutrition. I am currently on thyroid meds but the only result is that my tsh is very low. Other wise I am still feeling the same and some symptoms are worse.
Avatar m tn know what to do about him, because he has like, no muscle mass left on him! He says he is experiencing aches and pains all over, and he is blind in hsi left eye, and has had surgery to move the muscle so that his eye looks the right way, because it crossed inward before. But I have heard this happens to other people as well. It is dizziness/vision blacking out, and last time the searing pain brought him to his knees. And he said last time that the pain was in his right eye.
1050362 tn?1253918483 Heyy My Names Alannah,im 16 And About 5ft 4" I have always been quite skinny from my waist up as my body fat seems to form on my hips and below, being only 16 my mum wont let me diet i have to eat whats put infront of me. I weigh almost 9 stone where as most of the other girls my age are about 7 or 7 and a half stone.
10947 tn?1281404252 Hmm, that does make things very difficult. I'm not saying it's the same with your daughter, but I was also rarely home at 17 and that made it super easy for me to get away with my e.d. behaviors. Like with you, my mom didn't really know if and when I was eating or not eating. You may already do this, but when you compliment her, don't make it based on her body, weight, figure, size, shape, etc etc.
