Eating disorder?

[Travis Is Losing It]

Ok so im 6' even and 115 lbs... ive been puking up my food since i was in 7th grade when i was 190. ive actually gained alot of weight over the past couple months i was actually 82lbs at one point. but im not puking anymore i just havent been eating much. i ate a hamburger today but that was the first thing in like 4 days. im not forcing myself not to i just dont feel hungry

Puking it up = purging which could definitely be an ED. Even if it's not, eating once in 4 days is not healthy at all.
Talk to someone about getting help.

That sounds like an eating disorder to me. But it's better to get a professional diagnosis. But of course, I understand that not everyone has access to one. I don't know if this thread will help you but it may.

Thank you guys :/ i dont have access to any medical anything beause i dont have health insurence which sucks. and faithandtrust i'm slightly pre-occupied to where i cannot read it and this moment i will in an hour or so but yah if thats cool with you talking on skype may be helpful at times if you get a request in like a minute its me

Sorry for the late reply, hun. I had math tuition(I know. I'm a dork). I don't have health insurance either. I didn't even know it covered eating disorders. My mum spends -hundreds- on sessions that don't work. I feel horrible but... Yeah, well. It makes her feel like she's making up for what she did.

Its ok dont worry lol. and im not sure if it does when i think about it lol. oh well x.x but yah im not sure if im completely forcing myself not to eat or im litteraly just not hungry

Sometimes you can actually convince yourself that you're not hungry. I convinced myself I wasn't hungry and that I hated "bad" food. But I went pretty extreme. Some people do that though.

I went from Tuesday at 5am i ate a bowl of cereal then nothing till late last night before i posted this. and i didnt feel the urge of hunger litteraly at all :/

That's not a good sign at all.
Some people have days where they just aren't hungry, but it is dangerous and unhealthy to go days without eating. I really do think you have an ED, but we can't diagnose you.
I hope you can get some help somehow.

Whats the point of even getting diagnosed. you have it or u dont a doctor saying you do or dont doesnt change what you have.

[Amaryllis]

Well, hun, it makes a difference. I remember when I first stepped on the scale since I went on my "diet". It was at a doctor's office. It read 76 pounds. I cried. My mother cried. I cried some more. Then I dropped a little further. A little more. And more. Until, finally, they put me on a drip and then I lost some more. And decided "Hell, I can't live like this anymore".

Trust me. It makes a difference. Self-diagnosis is not a good idea. Did you know if you starve too much and lose weight, you'll actually -want- to keep on starving? That's why it's so hard for anorexics and bulimics to recover.

I struggling with relapse. I'm sorta on this rope, trying to cross from World of Skeletons to World of Freedom and right below me's a pit fall back to Skeleton world. I'm literally hanging on by a thread.

You don't want to go there. Please, ask for help.

If i could afford it or even had my adopted parents to pay for it i would. but sadly i dont and all i have to rely on now are my friends to help me get through it. most are understanding but some have got fed up with my because i dont ever find myself thin enough. im about 55lbs underweight and still dont think im thin :.(

Honey, try eating disorder books. Read them like bibles. Abide by them like they're your bibles. They helped me through a lot. And I'm here if you ever need me.

[christcenteredlife]

there are times i go days without eating also, but as these guys have said, it's not healthy. i don't purge or anything, i'm just not hungry. i have snack foods that are high in protein and things so when i'm not hungry i have that as a filler. maybe something to think about.

Eat as much as you can bear or digest easily or could inhale and exhale air into your lungs. Eating disorder is not good for health. So please try to avoid this to prevent you from a lot of diseases.

Uhm can someone explain that last three posts? and explain why the 1st and 3rd are the same? I'm dreadfully lost x.x

Eating disorder can be in both the ways like less eating or more eating and eating more than three times a day.
Eating three times a day is normal eating habit and is better for health.
