I am 19 years old, I have posted alot of questions here but I said it was "my friend" who had the issues, but it is me, I am 19 years old, 5ft 8" and I weigh 107lbs, i am becoming increasing scared of myself, I hate eating as I feel like everything gets turned into fat and I will put pounds on from eating even a slice of toast, my parents know that something is going on and they have hidden the scales and even though I spent 3 hours yesterday I still could not find them, I am having chest pains recently around the centre or to the right and my heart seems to be beating quite fast, I want help but I always change my mind in the end, what should I do?

I am 19 years old, currently weigh 115lbs, I see myself as heavily obese, I eat 1 meal a day at around 6pm, i feel tired all the time, my brain doesn't seem to function correctly as I sometimes don't think about what I am doing or I forget things. I had to see a counsellor at the start of the year because my doctor thought I had anorexia, but I'm fine :) am I underweight like everyone says I am? Or should I lose 10lbs??? Thanks

I'm 19 years old, 5 ft 8 and have a bmi of 17.8, I weigh 117lbs, but I feel really overweight!! I hate eating and I get nervous, the last thing I think about is buying food when I am out with friends because I would rather spend the money of other things, I do go on the scales a few times a week and I feel really cold all the time.

I have 1 tattoo on my right arm which didn't hurt at all! But since then I have lost a lot of weight and I'm getting a tattoo tomorrow across the top of my left shoulder, why should I expect?? Thanks

Ok so I had anorexia and was diagnosed in January but since then I have been trying my hardest to gain weight :/ I've been eating (a minimum of 1 meal a day) and I'm still losing weight!!! I've lost 7lbs this week! :/ I can't even stand for long periods of time anymore as my legs start to hurt and my vision gets blurred during the day :/ what should I do??

My child is 18 years old, they left there computer switched on and went out, I went to switch the computer off ( because of the electricity prices ) and this is what I find!! Last January they were in hospital but I was told it was due to stomach pains, I have noticed that they have lost a lot of weight, and that they go out all the time mainly around lunch times, in march they were in hospital again, I was working when I received a call saying that my child was going to go into cardiac arrest with chest pains while in college. My child asked while in the hospital to talk to someone (now I think it might have been a eating disorder specialist) and they left the room in a devastated mess. What should I do? I don't know if I should confront my child, if I should ground them from going out so I can monitor them? Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Im 18 years old and Ive suffered with anorexia for around 2 years but it didn't get really serious until march when my body was shutting down and I was in hospital, my friend is abit overweight and they have tried diets and exercising etc to try to lose weight and they say that nothing works, well ive noticed that they are not eating, I confronted them about it because I don't want them to go through what I have and struggle every single day! They admitted to me that they are not eating and I asked them to stop and be healthy, the response I got was "you can't talk" what should I do!! I HATE that my struggles have influenced other people to Starve!!!! My friend even asked me to starve with them for support! I'm in recovery!!!

I have a iPhone 4 which I have had for a year, I can now have a early upgrade! I'm considering buying the blackberry 9900? I send between 3,000 to 12,000 texts a month! What should I do? I will also get more minutes with the blackberry, right now I pay £40 a month for my iPhone and get 600 mins, unlimited texts and Internet, with the blackberry I will get 900 mins, unlimited texts and internet :)

I'm 28, suffered for 2 years and have been trying to recover since march as I was in hospital and almost had a heart attack, I thought my friends would help me and I confided in them, I now know that they talk about me, lie about me and have literally told near enough everybody about my eating disorder!! I haven't eaten all day! :/ what should i do? What would you do? :(

I'm 18, I was diagnosed with anorexia back in january but I have struggled for around 2 years. My parents found out in january when I lied to them and said I was having stomach pains which is why I was losing weight, they sent me to the hospital and I think the doctors really knew what was going on :/ after the hospital my tutor at college arranged for me to see a counsellor and that's when my mom found out. I still struggle everyday now and my mom gets angry and goes to my aunties to cry saying that I'm going to die, what should i do???

I was bullied in high school because I was fat, everybody hated me and i was verbal and physically bullied for 5 years, back in march I was sent my ambulance to the hospital for chest pains, and I actually asked for help, they did nothing and sent me home!

Yes I think that I am really overweight and I have very low self esteem. I was bullied in school due to the fact that I was fat, in January I was in hospital after i lost almost 2 stone in weight in a month, I wasn't eating and I was extremely dehydrated and I was on cardiac arrest alert, well I gained some weight and felt bad so I lost the weight again and my parents have noticed that I am not eating again :/ what should I do? I don't want them to think that I have a weakness :/
