New, Depressed, And Confused Posted: 02-05-05 14:56pm
So im a bit of a hypochondriac so if you
get of hint of that in this posting please
lol bare with me.
So about a year ago I was diagnosed with
ed-nos I had every symtom of anorexia
nervousa except body image distoration.
Yes ladies and gents the 99% reason why
people develop an ed miss me was missing
this very important factor so why did I
starve you ask? I had the most serious
abnormal phobia of vomiting. Its proper
name is emetophobia and I was deathly
afraid of throwing up. I've had this fear
since I was 3yrs old thought for some
reason in the past year (04 that is) I
stopped eating convincing myself the
slightest food would make me sick I made
myself nauseated a lot too (not
intentionally of course but thats the
wonders of the mind) I counted calories
weighed myself 3243274x a day lost a total
of 22lbs, I thought about food every
waking moment. Most of the tricks and
symptoms you guys had I probably did
except not once did I think I was fat I
would look at all my bones and just yell
at myself like what are you doing but that
didnt stop me I kept on. So eventually I
went inpatient and they jump started me
eating again but it did nothing for me
emotionally or mentally so im still stuck
with old thoughts and depression. I was
wondering if anyone could share some
perspective on the following:
1. Does your face often get hot on your
lower cheeks and forehead?
2. Do you often become lazy and not care
so you stay in pj's all day lucky if you
brush your teeth?
3. Is school such a freaking huge
stressor that you have to be
hometutored?
Yes thats something I experience and I
feel like im the only one and its not
helping my depression since I refuse
medication. So I feel ike im stuck in my
black little corner afraid to get out
because of reality and no one
understanding :cry: ..... So im here on
the forum board and I commend you if you
have read this far :wink: :d

like im the abnormal one missing the vital
part of an ed my behaviors is the same as
any other person suffering from anorexia
nervousa but if you ask me my reasoning it
will be different :oops:

Hi,
i wonder if you know about vitamin b12 --
when it's low it can cause a lot of
problems...
I have information on my site that's
pretty easy to understand. And I also
have a lot of excerpts from the research
there.
It might be helpful to you -- take a look
at the information.
