It's possible, eating disorders are usually not about losing weight. When I get upset I don't feel like eating either. My s-i-l who has a masters in psychology told me i was getting anxious about being anxious. I was so nervous about not eating that it was making me more anxious & unable to eat. She told me to stop worring about. Don't think about it if I'm hungry eat, if i'm not don't & it did help. However my not eating periods would only last a week or so & were brought on by a particular circumstance. I think that sort of weight lose in a year is something to be concerned about. What does your dr. recommend for treatment?

He recommends extensive therapy. I've got to think about this, I'm sure I can fix it if I put my mind to it. You're right though, I do get anxious just thinking about it.
Thanks ![]()

With all of the things that's been going on in your life the last year it certainly won't hurt to talk to a counselor. Stress can do so many things to you.

I'm with Diana on this one. Stress can do so many harmful things to our mind and body. I'd at least check with a counselor and see what they say. Don't let yourself get too thin and make yourself sick...we need you here.

I'm sorry you're going through a stressful time!
Not something I usually talk about, but when I was a freshman in high school I had eating issues. I made myself throw up. I found out later that it was for the reason you described, it was the one thing I could control. It made a lot of sense to me. I think that's exactly what is going on with you. Stress really goes that way or the other though. People either don't eat for the control reasons, or they eat more because it comforts them. Food is instant gratification, especially sweet food. It's like people that drink. It makes them feel better in the moment because they feel so cruddy, but it doesn't solve the overall problem at all. But you could have some type of depression as well that might be the reason. Depression causes you to lose interest in things, and that includes food. I would maybe check into that as well. I hope things get better for you! |

Kathy , Judy had a good suggestion, please go speak to someone or get into a group. You have been through so much this year, no one is invincible. It's ok to ask for help, come on girl we need you to be strong..

The first step to recovery is realizing there is a problem! Sending lots of hugs your way! ED's can be very hard things to overcome, but it is so very important that you try! I'm glad you are getting help now
![]() Anyway, today I am okay and although I could stand to actually lose a few pounds these days, I know I am more healthy and happy now than back then. Thankfully, God is good! I'll be praying for you! |

I have struggled with bulemia since I was a teenagerr - it's much worse during stressful times. Please get into counseling asap - the worst mistake people make is allow it to be a "hidden disease" and try to fight it on their own.
