I have BPD and Anorexia. Even though I was told I can’t have both. This means that I can’t get treatment for my Anorexia!

Is anxiety chemical? Is anorexia anxiety, at its root? Does anxiety grow and possibly morph into anorexia? depending on circumstances. AN looks to me like whirling Dervish, can’t stop. Is that chemical? Individual’s subconscious messaging, mute, ineloquent, “See me, stop me. Help me.” Unable to ask that her needs be met-including-firm guidance for doing hard things. I don’t want to take the awful tasting medicine. “But-you must, and I’m here to help you do what you must. Trust me, rest from hyper vigilance, trust me this is exactly right, enough and not too much. Trust me. Rest.” Anxiety, AN, wants ALL options available, e.g. do eat, don’t eat, eat only this, or even medical assistance in dying. Anorexia wants all options open but a symptom of AN is apparent indecision. And indecision looks like a decision to refuse treatment. (Stop me. Help me. I can’t do it, not on my own). Does this sound true?

Functions of parts of brain, interesting. A theory, ppl with AN are self-regulating-born with high serotonin, ie anxiety. But unknown (is what I read) is it causation or coincidence?, people with anorexia have high serotonin. Logical is that, Consuming food raises serotonin raises anxiety. Restricting decreases serotonin, decreases anxiety. Anxiety and depression, on a continuum, a function of a person’s serotonin level-too little serotonin means depression. Is there info that says, restricting reduces serotonin reduces anxiety makes a person stuck in a loop?

@Cat O Yes, I see what you mean. Glutamate, To avoid stuckness, neuroplasticity needs to make it so a person can bounce-back, out of an episode of stuckness (loop) (my best-I-can-do understanding of article). For “stress” read also perceived stress. Perception can be that ability to redirect, for perception to be changeable-the phenomenon of, quickly recover, e.g. in the case of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (possibly only found under ADHD, and not formally a thing, but) as it is described, RSD fits our daughter’s eating disorder behaviours and possible thoughts when experiencing an episode with chronic health issues, anorexia, a mental illness. Re stress and perception of stress, and glutamate, a neurotransmitter: “… chronic stress can lead to malfunctioning of the glutamate system and reduced neuroplasticity.” “In the hippocampus, chronic stress leads to increased glutamate release, impaired LTP, atrophy of the apical dendrites, and learning and memory deficits …”, “In the prefrontal cortex, chronic stress leads to decreased glutamate release, impaired LTP, reduced dendritic spines, and impaired attention …”, “In the amygdala, chronic stress leads to decreased glutamate release, impaired or enhanced LTP, dendritic hypertrophy, increased dendritic spines, and anxiety …”, “Glutamate system dysfunction has been implicated in several pre-clinical and clinical studies of mood and disorders.” “… several glutamatergic genes affecting different kinds of receptors have been implicated in mood disorders …”, “Several glutamatergic agents have been demonstrated to effectively decrease depressive symptoms in people with MDD and bipolar disorder …” Maybe over-exercising is unconscious self-medicating? “Physical exercise leads to increase levels of both glutamate and GABA (Maddock et al., 2016), resulting in participants feeling energized and focused while also experiencing psychological calm.” Article: Glutamate: The Master Neurotransmitter and Its Implications in Chronic Stress and Mood Disorders, 2021 Oct 29.

@Cat O My daughter’s dad had seizures. I know any understanding of her perceived experience would have helped us help her. Meantime, coincidence that your seizure medication helped with movement. Outside that, overlap with ANA and lots of things (ADHD, OCD, ADD), our daughter, forever27, was participating in a dual diagnosis study, wondering whether she had autism-often she’d try to get at the root of anxiety-ANA, rather than see eating as the cure and not-eating as the illness (Greta Thunberg was dual ANA and autism, and my niece’s son is mute autism). Our daughter was very empathetic, sympathetic though, and it seems not unusual for ANA people to believe they can sense people’s feelings on entering a room, though wrongly, my example as, being told I am annoyed or angry and having to argue to persuade her I was thinking nothing and not anything she decided I was. I wonder whether seizure medication as helpful, is possibly a new line of thinking for treating some ANA. Thanks for this.

Hi I had a question I have been staying home for a month and 2 weeks I have hypochondria and it’s been really hard for me to cope with it these past couple of days I’ve been having headaches every night and I searched up covid symptoms and one was a headache and I looked up the other symptoms and it made my anxiety strike dramatically bc I’ve been feeling really anxious and it caused so many other symptoms. I’m worried if I can have covid or is this just my anxiety?
@janeadelaidelennox71934 жыл бұрын
No no, anorexics don’t prefer sweets any more than any other group of people. When you’re not getting enough glucose, you naturally crave sweet foods. Like violently. You brain remembers that long after. As for fat? That’s more complex. Certain fats give me nervous stomach. I don’t have a fear of fat, but I have strict rules about it. Like fat and carbs need to never touch. MAYBE I’d eat fruit with fish on occasion. But am I afraid of the fish? Not at all. It’s a very specific system. Not a fear of fat, exactly. I think the fear of fat was seen historically because of the myth that fat causes fat and carbs help you lose weight. Now that we have dissolved that myth, you may see patients shift to fat and protein and vegetables. I’d watch kidneys going forward honestly... Ketosis is a major win. As soon as I realized that worked, this makes up a bulk of what I do eat. I haven’t eaten pasta in ... god five, six years? Won’t go near it. So I don’t think you’ll see restriction patterns change, but the enemy foods may begin to shift a bit. Veggies are always number one love of course. That won’t ever change. Just my input

The quotations around "eating disorder" and the fact that this is posted by the UCSD Eating Disorders center, should imply that the question is more about how such disorders are classified, and the content should imply questioning it as a Physiological Disorder.

Thanks for the information UCSD. Whatever the origin of anorexia nervosa it affects the brain in a serious, longterm manner. Food is my enemy and I truly believe that. My metabolism has slowed down so much that I eat virtually nothing and don't lose much weight. Grrrr...

Mar 2023, 7 yrs on. It interests me to know why you were looking to lose weight and how you are doing? Were you seeking material to trigger a condition of anorexia that you have, do you have anorexia?, or was it just weight-loss diet you were looking for? Dr Keyes talked about brain (function and chemistry) but only vaguely about anxiety.
