I don't even know what's wrong with me.

I'm sure there is something wrong with me. My name is Ana (really it is, I'm from Croatia). I'm not sure if I'm anorexic. I really don't eat much, most of the time I don't realize that I'm hungry but when I eat it's like Chocolate, or any other Sweets. I can't eat vegetables, I have to vomit. Sometimes I eat apples but it's the only fruit I eat. I don't know if not eating vegetables is a eating disorder, is it? As a child I was forced to eat vegetables but I was always stubborn. I really want to change that. It's not that I dontwant to, I just cant and have to vomit.

Hello Ana :) Although I am no professional doctor and am not trained I believe that you may have 'disordered eating'. From what you have told us, you do not meet the criteria for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia or Binge-Eating Disorder. However, it is advisable for you to go the doctors and attempt to help your eating issues. Good luck Ana :3

@colorfulSpace22, I hope you're feeling fine, lovely. You post this a year ago, but there is something in your text that made me reply to it after such a long time. You mentioned not eating a whole food groups, like fruits or vegetables. I am not a professional in any way, but it sounds to me that it can be linked in some way with selective eating disorder (SED).

Again, I am not here to make any diagnosis about your life, because I don't know you and your situation, but maybe it is something which will help you with your struggle. If you want to learn more about it, there is a community thread on SED. Maybe that is something which will interest you.

All the best!
