[@thesatelliteoverhead6776]

ive started getting a few symptoms similar to anorexia. at least i have an eating disorder. thing is. i dont look it. ive lost weight rapidly. and but im still not that thin at all. i look sort of built. so its like i almost feel unseen. knowing that i have an eating disorder that no-one would guess about or see. so my digestive tract sort of quit working a bit.. im always constipated and have to take magnesium citrate everyday or the food doesnt leave my body. and when it does it leaves undigested. ive been feeling super weak/lethargic. and my skins gotten a bit pale and yellow. i also get irregular heartbeats and sometimes difficulty breathing especially after meals as my stomach is so full and unmoving. not sure. so i went and got some tests done and they couldnt really see anything unusual and that narrowed it down to most likely, i need to start eating better. ive started off with three regular meals a day, instead of my meal skipping like before.

[@LieseLotte471]

I used to associate having an eating disorder with being skinny and I'm not proud of it. Your weight really doesn't matter, its your relashionship with food and eating that makes all the difference. You can be big or small and have a normal or disordered relationship with food. Sometimes it is hard to break with things you "learned" in your youth long ago and see things in a new light. I really hope all of you are doing well and aren't putting yourselves under unfair pressure. A lot of people do understand and will not judge you. Everyone would choose to be okay if they had a choice. ❤

[@hils1015]

+Jenna Burke The sad thing is even though my child psychiatrist and later my adult psychiatrist warned me of the dangers of Anorexia, but I did not listen. I was so in denial there was nothing anyone could possibly say or do to make me stop. This was right at the beginning of my Anorexia, but I was already too much in denial to believe anything they were saying. I didn't even believe I was sick in the first place so I told them that the things they were saying did not apply to me because I wasn't Anorexic. My point here is it's hard to know whether you would have actually listened had they warned you. I know many Anorexics and Bulimics who know all the dangers but that's never made them stop.

I'm not nit-picking, but it's good to use the term "Anorexia Nervosa". Certain medications can cause "anorexia" which is a lack of appetite. The distinction is the "Nervosa" term being used to indicate the mental/emotional side, not just the physical lack of appetite.

(Explanation?) It's very strange because when I was the deepest into my eating disorder, my grades were great. Also during PE I never felt tired, I would run miles and not sweat or feel tired-I felt like I could run forever. Even in doors I felt a chilly wind on me as I ran. We were even told to check out heart rates for a project and even after running my rate was 43-48 bpm. I'm happy now though and recovering, just curious and confused.

[@gypsierose3611]

I am same

[@shelby5574]

this reply is coming 5 years late and im just guessing BUT one reason for the grades may be that you were hyperfixated on control and perfection (i.e. where the ED came from). this need to go go go and be at the drivers seat of your life may have caused you to get fully consumed by school work / hyperfixate on grades and academic validation since you werent getting that validation from yourself. with the running thing, it could either be that you were physically lighter, so your body was carrying less weight while running and therefore running was easier, or your brain was so committed to exercising because you were sick that you had some sort of paranoia or delusion that you "couldn't" stop or "needed" to run a ton. Again, im not a professional so these are just guesses. i hope your recovery has gone well and that you are continuing to get better!

[@Crazy_Diamond24]

Our issue is not us being oblivious of the consequences of not eating, but not knowing how to fight it, knowing it can easily end in taking our life. It's scary.... we know what we are up against but Ana tends to silence us and force our thoughts on one thing only and give us a false sense of control just to keep us in its grasp

[@ambs8910]

Totally agree. Anorexia needs to be funded more, all of them facts are very highly true. From being used to not eating and in recovery of being an anorexic I'm still used to going on with days with not eating. It's all very well with wanting to go to your doctor to get the help, that can be very daunting for the person who's suffering. Those who have anorexia will refuse to accept help, with the fear of gaining weight out of their 'control' anorexic's will go to extreme levels of Weight loss.

As someone who has suffered off and on with this disorder and after my first hospitalization years ago I unfortunately developed bullimia as well and honestly I think I was more Ill with the bullimia then even when I weighed as little as 75 pounds at just under 5’8 inches tall because I couldn’t hide my illiness , everyone could see it. When I suffered from bullimia symptoms I hide it for years and yes I was slim but not dangerously underweight and at times even a average weight which made it harder for me to believe I needed help. . My dentist strangely is the one that pointed out what was happening to my teeth due to bone loss and that was the wake up call I needed to seek help for the bullimia symptoms. I was doing well for several years then a couple stressful events lead to relapse of my eating disorder and I dropped about 35 pounds in two months because I was not eating much and exercising 3 to 4 hours a day and my hair was falling out, I lost my period that was pretty regular at that point, very low protein and low iron, ect . Again I needed to seek help and regain weight again too regain my health. It was a rough road too recovery after this relapse that happened about 15 years ago. I always have to be aware this eating disorders will return if iam not doing what I need to do to stay in recovery. Thank for video from someone who has lived it and living in recovery now

I call it dying to be thin. So sad that anorexia is on the rise because we tend to compare our bodies with other people and thinking we aren't thin enough. We are different and unique.

But thank God I realized I was putting my health in jeopardy when I was doing that to myself. Also I was getting sick a lot, my hands were always aching, I was pale, and I was always feeling like I was gonna pass out.

The heart thing made me want to recover. And I have. I just became anorexic because of bullying. I hope anyone reading this doesn’t fall into my footsteps. If you have any eating disorder just know that it will get better. ❤️

About osteoporosis: don't think that oh it's fine. I'll just take those medications and fix it once i recover.(I know that's not what you were saying, Kati, but I just know this is something I used to think but then I found out the hard way.) It's not that simple. The medications don't fix things, they mostly just stop it getting worse. And they can have unpleasant side effects. The longer you wait, the more irreversible damage will happen. And it does happen.

I guess that's why the first thing my dr does when I go in is check my heart......luckily she says I have a healthy heart.

Omg the bad breath, I never realized that. I was told I had bad breath when I had an eating disorder, but I didn't connect those two

I got a text therapy ad and I answered the damn questions and it said “unfortunately online therapy isn’t the best option..”

I'm watching this video for my college course "Nutrition & Wellness Section 03W Spring 2021 CO"

Your videos are so helpful. I only see my eating disorder therapist every 2-3wks, it just isn't enough and makes me feel very alone :(

[@PaulHosey-u3l]

I've had dry skin, dehydration, muscle pains and abnormal heart beats. But I never experienced any problems with my hair. But I really don't care what happens to me.

Thanks for the vid! I really want to help share and spread the word. I've been struggling with my eating disorder for almost 15 years. The past 3 have been the worst and I've ended up in real critical health. I am still struggling but getting there I hope. But I wish I could help more and share my story so that people can understand more and maybe I can help someone. I have health complications that are permanent now, which is really frustrating. But I am also scared to share my story and personal struggles because I don't want to trigger people or be not helpful. So I don't really know what to do. I guess just spread word about eating disorders ect. Like your videos
