  • Could anyone help me?

    I'm a 15 year old girl. For about 3 years I've been super self conscious of my body and constantly been on on-off diets for about 2 years, but they always fail. I'm always worried about what food I eat, always adding up calories and always planning food/ exercise. About the end of last August to early November, I would starve myself, binge, purge, but then I started to eat more normally, I had a few binge and purge episodes, but not very many. Throughout that time (August-November) I was constantly researching calories and stuff. But ever since about Christmas time I've put on about 10lbs. I constantly plan what I'll eat everyday, and eat good at school and when I'm with people, but as soon as I'm alone at home or anything, I just have major binging sessions and it feels so uncontrollable. It's so horrible and I always think about purging, but I don't want to go back to that. I always compare myself to other girls and I always have thoughts of wanting to be thinner. I was reading up on eating disorders the other day (for school) and I read up on Binge Eating Disorder. I've looked at a couple of sites and I think I might have some of the symptoms for it. Could I have it? How can I control my binge episodes?

  • could someone please advise me on where/how i can get some help?

    i'm a 14 year old girl and i'm in year 10. i've been weight conscious for about 2 years now. in those two year i've tried non committed diets and lots of exercise plans. i'm really really sick of it. well anyways in the last 3 months i've been going a bit deeper into weight loss.

    in the past 3 months i've been: calorie restricting, starving myself, binging, purging, researching calorie contents, counting calories, not eating then feeling its ok to eat, eating then feeling EXTREMELY guilty for it and end up purging or being depressed, constantly thinking about food, planning my week for when/what i will or will not eat and so much more.

    its taking over my life and really getting me down. i told 3 close people (my boyfriend, my best friend and her sister - who dealt with anorexia and bulimia) and they got me back to eating during the second month, but i went back to extreme dieting again after only about a week. i've talked to them all about it again recently and they have got me eating, but i just want to pig out and eat so much junk and then i feel so so guilty for eating and the calorie values just stay in my head all day.

    anyways, the reason i'm asking this question is becuase i'm wondering if anyone would know how and where i can get help for this if i could get any. i really really need someone to talk to about this, but i dont feel comfortable talking about it to my friends or family or anyone i really know. i would go to my doctors, but there arnt really many english staff there at all and i wouldn't really know what to say. theres an NHS hospital in the city centre which i can easily access.

    could anyone on here please give me some advice on how i can get in touch with someone to talk to or what to do please? or could anyone on here give me some advice?

    thanks....

  • so have i actually absorbed the calories?

    so today i didnt eat at all until about half 5pm. i ate a packet of walkers crisps: 132 cals, three thin slices of french bread with philadelphia light and 1/4 of a tube of minstrels, then left it for about half an hour until dinner. i had pasta bake and 3 more thin slices of french bread and half a small jacket potato. after this, i immediatly purged and purged for about 10 minutes and i believe i got it all up.

    all i want to know is, did i actually absorb any of these calories and if so what percentage?

  • depression/seasonal affective disorder?

    think i might have depression possibly seasonal affective disorder. since the weather has started getting worse, i've gotten so depressed. its been about 6 weeks and for about the first 3 weeks i hadn't been eating properly; skipping meals, snacking, loss of appetite. then the next 2 i wasn't eating at all apart from the odd apple in between days and i lost about 13lbs . then last week i told my boyfriend and a close friend and they made me promise to eat again. i promised and since then i've been over eating and gained weight (about 7lbs) and this has made me feel even worse & even more self conscious. i've had a major lack of energy since the weather changed and i've been wanting to cry at least once everyday. what can i do to go about getting diagnosed at the doctors. i'm 15, and i don't want to tell my parents. what do i say to go to get an appointment at my GP or should i just go to a walk in centre? what do i say if i go here? i can get to the places by myself so i don't need to tell my parents, i just would like to know which is better to go to. or i have a GP practice across the road. would they still take me even if i'm not registered there? can they prescribe me something without a parent being there? if none of these are any good, i have a school nurse.
