I have battles with myself in the store or at meal time about what the food will do to me, or how I’ll feel, and I feel depressed after eating, somtimes, i skip meals and other days I eat everything I can find. I was woundering if I have an eating disorder. it really messes me up having this feelings and thoughts.
Yes, it sounds like you have an eating disorder. Please seek professional help. Social anxiety about being perceieved as fat tends to be a common part of an eating disorder.
Do I have an eating disorder? I switch from not eating at all to eating too much for some periods of time. sometimes i’m fat, sometimes i’m thin. and i’m afraid to go out of the house because they might tell me i’m fat. or is this social disorder?
So if you take birth control pills you’ll have your period no matter what you weigh?
How can they technically diagnose anorexia nervosa if someone is taking birth control then? Tricky.
no,it’s not cruel,it’s laughter!problem is people get very “uptight” and lose their “humor”. “lack of humor” or laughing is very obvious in “mental hospitals”.
the reason why binge eating disorder is so ignored relates to this video. this is a doctor explaining the three types of eating disorders, and almost half the time she focused on anorexia. what about those dieing from BED?
I disagree. I have suffered many years from eating disorders and during my recovery I have realised the importance of laughter. I have engaged in laxative abusive yet I laughed along and found that helpful. I don’t believe by any means that the comment was cruel, there was a very important point behind it.
yeah – i didn’t really appreciate the laughter about the laxatives. if she’s a trained therapist she should know that humiliating the people that she’s supposed to be treating is not an effective means of helping them overcome their disorder.
It’s worth listening to this from a trained professional instead of the usual ‘thinspiration’ type posts. The psychotic/obsessive compulsive traits definitely struck a chord with me and it’s good to hear it mentioned. Very informative.

i also agree that the laughter is terrible. this doctor is inappropriate, boring, and unprofessional.

i completely agree that the laughter is not appropriate at all. shes treating it like an annoyance to her job.
