Eating disorder and depression... AGAIN!!!?

Question

AWW... i need help...again!?

I suffered from anorexia at the beginning of the last school year... i was depressed, didn't really have any friends... and rapidly started losing weight. I also have a disease called Lupus and had a major flare up at the time... possibly caused by the depression and not eating. My teachers were constantly noticing my behavior and confronting me but i just told them they were wrong and i was fine... when i got sick my organs started taking blows and i decided i had to change i secretly talked to a councilor and got some what better. I graduated from that school and am starting at a new school... with no one i know. this summer has been pretty bad for me... my parents constantly fight and i have just lost my grandmother. i am depressed all over and have noticed that i have not had an appetite and therefore not eating. what do i do? if i get seriously sick again like last year i could end up on dialysis or die... but i don't know how to stop... HELP!!!!

Answer 1

I would consider continuing therapy. Finding a good psychologist that doesn't judge you or make you feel self-conscious will really help. Eating disorders are very dangerous as you well know, so it is imperative that you talk to your parents about it and your doctor. It's good that you are seeking help, even if it's through yahoo. You're doing the right thing.

You can always make new friends at your new school too. Maybe join a club, or an activity that you think sounds interesting. When you can connect with people you have something in common with that will help with your depression - which sounds more like situational depression.

About the food, the less you eat the more your body will fast - which is very unhealthy. Drink lots of water, and start eating something life fruit and nuts to get yourself back on track. It's a slow process, but you can do it!

I think you need to go to a therapy support group.

I'm going to puke up this candy bar, I feel too bad about eating it.................seriously ugh.

Answer 5

First of all, find someone to talk to- a teacher, a relative, a friend, whatever it doesn't matter you just really need someone to talk to, preferably a professional.

As far as having no appetite, since you know it's a problem, you need to MAKE yourself eat.  If you eat at the same times every day (like, breakfast at 9, lunch at one and dinner at 6 or something) even when you're not hungry, you will eventually re-train your body to get hungry of meal times.

If your parents do not know about the depression and the anorexia, they need to know.  They can get you to a professional who can give you meds for depression, which are very important if you are actually  seriously depressed.

And in the meantime...

Do things that make you happy, things that keep your mind off of your pain and sadness.  There's always a way out and if you're still in school it sounds like your life hasn't even started yet.

feel free to email me or whatever.
