I used to eat 3 meals a day. Then I started eating two, then down to one, then down to none, except one every few days. That was two years ago...then I had a normal eating pattern, and then a year ago I lost the will to eat, again...So I forced myself to at least eat a small meal once a day...and then about 3 weeks ago I started eating 2 to 3 meals a day and now I am overeating and i feel like all this binging is just going to lead to me feeling fat and ugly and eventually I’ll fall back into my old ways again...help? I just need advice…I weigh about 120, I’m 5’2, and I’m 15...Is that normal?

Shatter us...
A world made of glass, each abusive step, causes a crack. When we all walk, do we want to cause an unfixable crack? If not, take a step back, and decide between...
You're weight sounds about normal, honestly. It's different for different people depending on your metabolism. Have you talked to a doctor about your eating issues?
tbh, I don't eat much. I get too depressed to eat. I am almost 16 and I weigh an average of 115 (it's dropped from 120 and hasn't gone back). I'm 5'3".
Replyif that helps at all?
ReplyIt does...this has been going on since I was 11...that's when everything started
ReplyDoes anyone know about it?
Replyno...only me...well only about the eating part i guess
ReplyYou comment on alot of the stuff I write...What's your story?...if you don't mind me asking...
ReplyNo, that's ok. It's pretty normal, I guess. My family is a normal suburb fam (now) but I can't get over depression. I'm a self-harmer and I hate my life. I'm not sure exactly what to say...my fam moved across the USA when I was 10 and that was really hard. I also don't really have any friends my age except for one in Maine. :)
ReplyI'm sorry about that...I started cutting when I was 11 and didn't stop till I was 13 and was taken to the hospital for two weeks after overdosing and then I was ok for awhile...and then I went back to school the next year and it all just started again but somehow worse...and now it's been about 4 months since the last time I cut...but I still have the urges...I think that's why I stopped eating and then can't stop eating now...it's just my way of harming myself without leaving the marks...because my parents check for marks but they are always telling me I need to watch my weight
ReplyYeah. My mom is always convinced I'm anorexic but she makes me eat too much for me to be. I just really want to do something serious so someone will notice. My parents know about the cutting but they think I stopped.
ReplyI feel alone right now...I weight 82 pounds now...i need someone to talk to...
ReplyAlso thank you for actually sharing...No one's really actually responded to anything I've said other than to tell me they like the way I write
ReplyYou're kidding.
Replynope
ReplyI'm so sorry! Well, anytime you want to have a convo I'm here because I love talking.
I'm also seriously relieved to talk to you. Our lives may not be the same but it sounds like we do similar things to deal with what they are :)
ReplySo...poetry?
Replymy writing?
ReplyWell...I've seen some of your stuff up, I think it was poetry. I write, too.
ReplyWhat kind of stuff do you write? and yeh I guess it is poetry...I don't really do it on purpose, it just kind of ends up that way I guess
ReplyI write songs and poetry and I'm working on a screenplay right now. It's coming along surprisingly well :)
Replyoh great. they're reviewing your comment. they keep doing that to me!
Replyoh well
ReplySo...you do write poetry?
ReplyI guess you could call it that
ReplyDo you like writing poetry or are you sick of talking about it?
ReplyNo I'm not sick of talking about it! Uhm, I guess I do...I kinda just write because it's a way of distracting myself and saying how I feel without sounding crazy because I don't have to say it out loud..and I want to try to help people who are hurting too...you know maybe let them know their not alone and that their not wrong for feeling the things they feel...maybe if I had, had someone like that than I wouldn't have..you know...
ReplyYes!! I love writing abstract poetry because it gets me and it's the only way I can have every side of me down.
ReplyYeah exactly!
ReplyExcept...I'm kind of feeling lost right now
ReplyYeah. It doesn't quite fix it. This is so weird to me...is it possible we're feeling the same about life right now?
ReplyMost likely...I mean...we are on a website for depressed people looking for someone to relate too...
ReplyYeah, but with depression everyone seems to have some sort of different thing. I'm really glad to have you to talk to.
ReplyThat's why I started writing on here, so i could help and be helped...hopefully...:)
ReplySo...did you say no one knows about the "self-harm"?
ReplyIf you consider my eating issues self harm, than yes, i am alone on that front. they know about the cutting though
Replymy parents found out about that a month ago :( that was rough.
Replymine found out 2 years ago and at first they didn't do anything...i think they thought it wasn't really real...i also came out to them but they forgot I guess...uhm then I overdosed and they kind of realized I was serious and I needed support...and then they thought that medicating me was going to fix me and some how taking a little blue pill was going to make me stop cutting but that's not how it works...I had to do that on my own...
Replyoh, no. Yeah, the pills won't do anything :)
You came out and they forgot about it?
ReplyI guess...and now I'm too scared to do it again...even though they keep asking me about my sexuality...I guess someone told them that they saw me kiss a girl...(which I don't remember because I was a little out of it at the time) so I keep telling them no, that never happened...and they think because I stick up for equal rights and like racial equality and basically...a human is a human no matter gender, race, sexuality, or anything else...that I'm gay...they don't understand..ugh none of that made sense but yeah...it's tiring
ReplySo...I'm actually bi, but I can't tell anyone that. I'm really excited about talking to you. I believe in human rights and my parents don't get it.
ReplyI'm bi too lol...kind of bordering on pan...and no their not the same thing lol
Replythis is really weird to me...I've never some across anyone with this many similarities. Even though it isn't a rare thing, I know.
ReplyIt's a depression thing :)
Reply:) I was talking to someone last night on here and they were asking if anyone felt like them, and I was like, "Yes! Although, I'm mentally ill, so I don't know how that helps." :)
Replylol A+
Replymental illness gives us 1 very good advantage though
Replyok. What?
Replydeeper feelings and more understanding than many others have...sometimes deeper feelings have their downs but...at least for me...I have the ability to love stronger and deeper because I care more than others do...and because of what I've been through I don't judge anyone because I know what it's like to feel less than or worthless or ugly and I know what it's like to be every sort of person because I've had to change myself more than most just to survive... and i also make everything way deeper and stupid than it needs to be...sorry for that
ReplyDon't be sorry! That's the exact same way I feel. I try to look at the depression and everything else as a gift so that I can get other people more easily. tbh, I wouldn't give it up now because of that.
Replyyeah...even when it's dark theirs parts that make it worth it...
Replyyeah. It feels kind of weird to be trying to give people advice on it from one end and asking for advice on the other :)
ReplyThe wave hit...and I feel really stupidly sad right now...it's unfortunate
ReplyHey...don't think I'm gypping you out, but I have to go :)
Let's talk later, ok?
Replyok...have a beautiful day
Replyha their reviewing my comment
Replythey won't stop doing that to me too lately, and I feel kind of embarrassed every time it happens :)
ReplyDon't...they should...this is suppost to be a place for people to share the overwhelming feelings they feel they can't share anywhere else...oops...is that offensive? I don't want to be reviewed lol
ReplyDid you have a good day yesterday?
ReplyIt was ok. Nothing really feels "good" right now, you know? Other than talking on here...
I can't wait till I'm 18.
ReplyHow was yours?
ReplyAnd is there any chance you're on quotev?
ReplyWhat's that
Reply...I am now
Replywhat's your username?
<3
ReplyI can't remember
Reply???
Reply??? what lol
Replyhaven't had a real conversation in like a few days
ReplyI'm in a bad place right now
ReplyDid i do something wrong
ReplyNo! Not at all. I am so sorry, I haven't been able to be on Novni much. What's wrong?
ReplyLook. I think we need each other and I can be on Quotev more often. If you forgot your first account, you can sign up again and maybe write down your password and stuff? I swear to God I am dying to be friends with you and I think it would help.
ReplyAre you there...?
ReplyHello. I'm Mya and my pal that you have been talking to told me to be here for you. I am more than happy to help 😊. She's a super duper good friend to me and she has let me talk to her about my sad life. Maybe I can help you too?
ReplyYou really want to waste your time on someone as sad and lonely as me?
ReplyI'm never wasting my time. Time is a stupid measuring system. We can only care about somebody in some large amount of time. Why can't I care right now?
Replyyou can...just don't know if I'm worth it
ReplyI think that sometimes too. But I promise you that you are very much worth it. You have to see it first
ReplyI do sometimes
ReplyI'm watching Step brothers rn
Replylike actual step brothers or is that a show?
ReplyNo it's a funny movie with Will Ferrell in it
ReplyOh wait yeh I think I've seen it before idk...
ReplyHow has your day been?
ReplyIt's been alright I guess...You?
ReplyWell I've been trying to get this transposing done, but my brain just really hurts. I hate homework. Also, I made a really good dinner, I'm pretty proud of myself rn tbh. I also went outside and checked out my cool new greenhouse with plants and whatnot
ReplySounds chill...life been pretty good lately then huh? hope it stays that way
ReplyLife is usually always good. Like imma be perfectly though, I hate living in this awful place. Thursday night I was shaking and crying because my uncle was about to beat up my grandpa. I try not to look at that though because I'm ready to leave. I'm only 16 but I can wait. Also, I love school and I find ways to make myself happy because life is way to short for holding in tears or not smiling. I want to be a completely open book with people because I owe it to the world to show my worth. #feelingit
ReplyI agree...I'm happy that you can accept that and try to live it
ReplyWhat about you though?
ReplyHello? Are you there?
ReplyHey...sorry
ReplyHow was your day? (Honestly)
ReplyIt went decently...how about you
ReplyWell we did BMI tests today and I am only happy about my height

ReplyTrying to survive on nothing...metaphorically
ReplyI haven't talked to you in a while. Hi! I just had a choir concert where I proceeded to scream my lungs off.
ReplySounds fun? Screaming as in singing loudly, or as in screaming?
ReplySinging extremely high with an extremely loud volume
ReplyNeato...how've you been?
ReplyPretty good. School is almost over and I don't want it to be. I just wanna go all summer and never leave. I hate staying home, it's so boring. I've just been listening to deep piano music and Bing Crosby and waiting it out. How have you been bud?
ReplyI honestly don't know...but im glad that you're doing well....all things concidered....maybe try getting a job to fill the time
ReplyYour weight for your height is perfectly healthy, you should think about meeting a dietician, hopefully it'll help.
With Love,
