Hi!! I am a 16 year old girl and I think I might have an ED ( anorexia specifically) I told my parents about it but they think that mental illnesses are just BS and don't think that I have any of them . I told my mom I wanted to see a therepist but she just told me to get over it and now I don't know what to do so I am asking here ,
I constantly try to starve myself so that I could loose weight ( my hight is 5'1 And my weight is 88.2 lbs ) . Whenever I look into a mirror I feel fat and disgusting I really wish people would call me pretty. Starving myself gives me a sense of control over my body , it also helps in silenceing the little voice in my head that keeps telling me how fat I am ,I wear baggy clothes so I don't see my fat. I literally hate myself..
I don't know if I have an ED or if this is just stupid..

if you’re 16 you could probably try to get in contact with a family doctor and try to schedule an appointment on your own. it sounds like something is very wrong and parents don’t always know best. it’s definitely not bs and what you’re feeling is never stupid. if you have a way of transportation try finding a therapist or even an online one to help. i hope all is better soon, just keep your head up and always remember you are beautiful.
ReplyThinking mental illness is BS might be unhealthy. That kind of thinking could allow someone all the excuse they needed to hurt someone mentally and never take responsibility for it. Please, whatever your struggles are, be careful, be safe, and maybe talk to a friend or someone who isn't family who can help.
ReplyThe old cliche is true I'm afraid. The ones who don't want something from you will never call the girl in the mirror pretty until after YOU start calling her pretty in your own heart. Try to love and care for your own body. Don't ignore your needs. Don't harm your self. But work with your own life force and show your body love. You need to. Especially when it doesn't feel like anyone else is. Also, if you feel pain inside tell someone irl. You never deserve to be alone with your pain.
ReplyThat's absolutely an eating disorder. Your mom telling you to "get over it" is extremely inappropriate.
ReplyYour BMI result is 16.7 and it shows that you are underweight, as to be expected with it's difference. If your family does not believe in you, why not shot them out with facts. A concrete reasoning to make them believe that what you're saying is indeed not make-belief.
In my own opinion, such human standards of 'beauty' is nonsensical as beauty is within the person itself. Do not fall for normalcy just because majority ought to have such belief as skinny to be beauty because it is a fallacy that's human made. You, yourself is magnificent enough when you do good deeds instead of harming anybody. So, hear me out! Do not starve yourself for the validation of being called pretty as not anyone is vocal with their fascination towards you, some may show it with actions. If one shall call you "pretty" but with calculated moves to get something from you, then it is not worthy.
Love yourself, if you seek for other people's affection. That is all I can give you. Please eat healthily. If you wish to be listened, there is a site for it (7cups). Be well and be safe.
