Eating Disorder?
I am deathly afraid of gaining weight, especially when it's [edited by Anomalia to remove weight specifics]+ pounds I feel the constant need to keep my stomach looking firm and flat I am very calorie conscious and feel like crap if I eat too much of something/eat something high in calories My stomach & chin always feel so bloated and fat, and living with that thought alone makes me want to cry My family always remarks that I shouldn't be self conscious because I'm skinny, but all I see when I look in the mirror is fat My friends also say that I'm too skinny and need to eat more, I used to turn down food offers from friends because if I ate I felt like I was going to screw up my body
@charmingClementine3346 Hello there! Those are intensive thoughts to deal with on a daily basis and can get very overwhelming. No one here is a medical professional so confirming an eating disorder is not something we can do, but I definitely can see that you're struggling and those are valid concerns. I wonder if you have talked to anyone about how you feel? How would you feel about bringing this up to a medical professional or even just raising these concerns with your family/friends?
