I've been told i am anorexic by doctors...
but is this severe enough to be
hospitalized and to be put on
tube-feeding?

The bmi would suggest that you are
underweight.
But, I have heard that the BMI is
outdated, so I don't know.

Well, anorexia suggests more than just low
bmi or weight.
But you are very underweight and that can
lead to the hospital, yes.

Yes, you are really, really, really,
truly, matter of factly too thin. Please,
realize that most people weigh 80 lbs when
they are a child. You are a woman. I
know it is hard to accept, but please
accept that your body is womanly now and
needs a little more weight. I hope so
much that you don't have to be
hospitalized. I can't imagine anything
more terrifying. Good luck, and let us
know how if turns out.

Yes! Please get treatment ASAP! Good
luck! You are in a very critical place.
Your situation is quite serious.
I'm getting magnesium infusions for 7
days... and each takes 4 hours... then i'm
waiting for a bed in critical care in the
eating disorders ward.. i'm the 3rd person
on the wait list...
thanks for your support. i'll keep you
guys posted.
