Common Questions and Answers about Anorexia quotes control
anorexia
You talk about them having total control, but it sounds like your parents already have some control by forcing you to eat, and they may not understand as well as the staff of a program will. Also, the control is in your hand to agree to going into the program. I currently have 16 years recovery from a lifelong eating disorder and I can't tell you how good it is to live my life free of that obsession! But I waited to get into recovery till I was much older than you.
My family thinks that I have Anorexia. I have a histroy of mental health problems, including; PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and ADHD.
An eating disorder can be when you "don't have control" over your eating habits, or when you have obsessive control over your eating habits. If you have eating behavior not clearly defined as anorexia or bulimia, its called Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified or EDNOS. I want to tell you that you are a very strong person to recognize this and that you want to change it. That is the first step.
Yes you can have stomach pain along with many other symptoms. Anorexia and Anorexia Nervosa are actually two different things.. Anorexia is simply not eating, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't WANT to eat, just a lack of eating for whatever reason. Anorexia Nervosa (what people are usually talking about when they use the term Anorexia) is when you don't eat because you think you are fat, or you have a strong fear of gaining weight.
It sounds like your combined anorexia and self harm is a form of seeking control. Although I can always be wrong, it's likely a main cause. But honestly, recovering from anorexia feels REALLY good. You feel full and, nourished haha. Once you get across the bad parts of recovering from anorexia, you're also going to feel a lot happier. Free from looking at labels and scales.
Yes there are many forms of eating disorders ranching from relatively light to severe. I thinkit would be best to seek help now,these things can get worse and the sooner you deal with it the better in the sense that you can prevent worse.
How many times do you have to puke yourself to be considered bulimic? Does anorexia or bulimia cause hair loss? And is there any possible way that any of this could cause my hands to shake?
Started eating better as a teenager and then last August I insisted she go see a Dr about going on the birth control pill at 19 yrs old to bring on the period. It did cause the period to come. However, I noticed severe mood swings/Depression since Sept/08 until present time. (shortly after starting on the BC pill). (At least she's got her period but at what cost?) Now, the Dr. tested and said she is showing that she has hypothyroidism and needs to see a specialist about starting medication.

I would approach her and tell her that you think she has an eating disorder. Tell her that what she is doing is not healthy and can kill her. (More people die from anorexia than all other mental illnesses combined) Tell her that you would like her to get help, but it has to be her decision. Tell her that you are there for her if she needs to talk about what's going on, but that you can't and won't police her.
It’s best not to force food down the throat of a person with anorexia. It is best to get medical help. If person eats less then protein and carbohydrate shakes can be given. Meat and vegetables can be pureed. Egg can be beaten into milk. The treatment involves various types of behavior therapies, nutritional guidance, medications to control hunger, food satiety, and exercise and yoga. Please consult a good psychologist/psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders.
Take care!
Anorexia is a mental disorder in which those who feel out of control try to overly control their appearance or eating habits. I would definitely recommend getting some help outside of yourself because you deserve freedom from the mental bondage and the baby deserves to be and grow healthy. I'm praying for you now that Jesus will be that help for you and show you how much He cares for you in Him.
I have had anorexia for over six months now, and about 2 months into it, I stopped getting my period. I'm really scared, and I told my parents what was going on, but they seem to not think it's such a big deal. I have been eating regularly lately, and am doing a lot better; but I am afraid that my period won't come back again, and I won't be able to have kids someday.
The cravings for me usually hit on the weekend, when i'm relaxing, doing chores, and just bebopping around the house. I keep myself busy, and it usually passes before I know it. They are there though, wanting me to cave, wanting me to fall, wanting to take control of my life. Nope, I'm the control freak dammit, I'm in control and running this show... I pray everyday for the strength to say not just no, but H3LL NO to this addiction, to the promise of euphoria through pills...
