Hi ,
I am quite new to this and I don
@Smallbean0404
Hello Bean, it's really nice to have you. If you yourself are feeling that your food habits are disorganized and problematic as compared to earlier, it is most likely an eating disorder. Just trust yourself, and keep fighting!
You can message me if you like! <3

Thank you so much thats so sweet and I will look into more, Im feeling difficult to trust myself so your advice really helped. :)
Hello everyone, I am pacific and I am kind of new to this. I am not diagnosed yet but lately, I have been experiencing some problems like counting my calories after each meal, skipping dinner every night, trying to purge after any meal, over-exercising, weighing, and measuring myself every night and overall just being obsessive of what I eat. If anybody could help that would be amazing, thank you!
I'm Anna,( I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put my name here but I don't really care because Anna is a really popular name anyways. I mean I do care but I because it's probably allowed I'm putting my name there sorry) And I don't want to self diagnose so I'll just type down what I've been going through. I've been binging and purging a lot. At least twice a week, this has been going on for like 5 months now and it's horrible and I hate it and now I'm pretty sure I have chipmunk cheeks so I'm trying so hard to stop. I also see myself in the mirror and my shoulders look too broad and my stomach looks too big and my arms look too fat and my thighs look fat as well and my face looks terrible but I can't help looking in the mirror and sinking in my own self hatred can I. Also I hate how I can't stop myself from eating because I feel so fat later and I know Its better if I recover but a part of my brain tells me that I shouldn't because I'll get fatter than I already am and Nothing will change anyways. My parents are really overprotective and clingy (especially my mom) and they don't know how badly this has been affecting my life. I probably think about my fat or my facial features like 7 hours a day. I just want to be normal again but my eating disorder is ruining any chance I have to be happy and it's horrible for my mental and physical health but I really can't do much about it but wait for someone to rescue me. And it's pathetic really because I'm scared to get actual help.

@Traveller8
Hey! I am currently suffering from Anorexia nervosa. I did open up about it to my mom but she doesnt understand what I am really going through. I always tend to skip my breakfast and my lunch and just have something healthy, low-fat meal for the dinner and if I dont get the chance to do this, I start hating myself which has been happening the past two days bcz my mom has been watching my diet. Ugh. My Ana is like, "You cant have nothing more than *edited for mentioning specific numbers* a day, if you do, u will be fat and ugly". I've worked out for a long time and I got my desired body but apparently according to my family I am too skinny. I am actually underweight. My BMI is *edited for mentioning specific numbers*. I REALLY NEED HELP...ONLINE. I dont wanna involve my family in this tho. Yep that's my story...I'm not even close to recovery.
