I have an eating disorder, what should I do?

[haylee_ann]

I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I do indeed have an eating disorder. I'm 5'7, mad im sized body frame, and I weigh 114 pounds and still view myself as fat. I want help and need it but I'm really scared. I switch between anorexia and bulimia and I want to eat so badly but everything I do eat makes me extremely sick. If anyone out there had dealt with this in the past pleSe help

I'm your exact size.. Plus 5 lbs.
But, I was bulimic/anorexic too for quite sometime. Age 12- 17 I believe.
It's horrible.. you think it won't be an addiction, but it is.
Please get help of some kind. You'll need lots and lots of support to get over it.
Just remember how really awful it is, you're prematurely killing yourself for nothing.
I've been two years mostly clean. I definitely always have urges and hard days. Relapse happens.
Just keep. going. you'll get there and feel so much better.

Also, working out is making me feel a whole lot better about myself. Its a constructive way to release anxiety and improve your feeling on your appearance.

This disorder started when I was 16 and started showing potential in track so my coach said I'd have to lose weight if I were to ever further my athletic career so I take working out to extremes that's why I've avoided it lately

Oh. Well yeah I can see that.. It's a little different there for you..

First of all you go and see a professional as soon as possible. Do not be scared. You are not alone.

It will be alright. You are aware of yourself. It is the greatest thing.

Here is the list of centers that you can reach.

I think if eating makes u sick then don't eat. Also u r prob a really pretty girl, but I think 114 is a bit too much for even ur height. I think u should lose at least 25 pounds, and not eating will help u do this.

Seek PROFESSIONAL help.
Nobody here is qualified. You have a real problem that needs trained help.

Honey, seek help. Talk to your doctor and see if they can refer you to a therapist that specializes in eating disorders or at least has experience treating them.

I know how hard they can be, I'm fighting one as well.

You can't self-diagnose. Seek professional help as soon as possible.
