Wannarexia -- yearning for eating disorders ?

Question

I was just wondering if this is wannarexia .. or something else more ****** up

ok, so im really weird .. its like a want an eating disorder

i always read about eating disorders, and obsess over food

but im not like fully committed to it

like sometimes ill be fine, i can eat full meals and stuff

but other times ill force myself to stop eating

i also lie or exaggerate about my eating habits

like, ill say to ppl that i havent eaten in 3 days, wen its actually only been a few hours

or ill make fat comments about myself or other things to try to set of warning bells in others heads ..

i also obsess over mental health .. and its also like i want a mental health problem .. like cutting ill tell ppl i cut, wen infact i only have a few times and i didnt like it

same with physical health, im always obsessing over diseases and stuff and always reading about them, and seeing the doctor a lot about stupid little thigns

im so wierd .. ii realize that my behaviour undermines those with eating disorders, emotional disorders etc.

so .. am i making all of this up in my head because i want attention .. or something else ..

ii dunno .. im just confused

Answer 1

Sounds like you are more likely suffering from hypocondria or an early version of Munchaussen's syndrome.  They both involve wanting to be sick and unhealthy for the attention it brings. I would see a counselor.  It could easily just be that there are so many things out there now that you feel 'uninteresting' just being happy and content.  

Answer 2

this sounds ridicilous , it seems like you feign having a disorder for attention

Answer 3

I was sorta like that at the start of the year... I think that the yearning for sympathy was so that others could understand the pain I felt through an unsuccessful realtionship but i didnt say anything so i was treated casually and it didnt suit.

Has anything bad happened 2 u lately that people aren't paying attention to, or dont know about? If so u should tell sum1 and get on with ur life cause i actually got myself an eating disorder and depression that way...  

Answer 4

wnagster!

Answer 5

you just want attention. it's nothing bad. instead of trying to get attention like that [[ trying to get sympathy ]], have others give you pride. it feels so much better.

YOU DON'T WANT AN EATING DISORDER. trust me.

it's really hard to live with it. taking medication all the time. and, you can't do a lot of things. i was anorexic.
