Do i need help? (serious question)?

Question

First of all can i just say that if you are going to joke about this then don't bother answering this question at all and do it somewhere else because i think i need help concerning my weight! im 15 btw!

anyways a year ago i always said to myself that im not going on a diet to make myself skinny because i love my curves. that was fine until something came over me a few months ago and when i looked in the mirror i always think im fat.

i always forgot about and went on as normal but i always feel fat and at school i compare myself to all these girls that have a skinny body. i always tell my friends that im fat and ugly and they say that im tall and skinny but i don't think i am.

i had exams to do at the start of june and now that im finished i am going to start swimming and going to the gym because i need to lose weight. my mum can't bring me tomorrow and im really upset. i started looking on the internet on ways i can make myself sick! i know the though of it isn't nice but i am starting my new diet tomorrow and need to do a few exercises at home and make myself sick. i never though i would be doing this to myself but i can't help it. it is what i think. im not eating as much as i used to.

right now im thinking that i need help. i havent told anyone about this and my parents havent a clue what im doing. right now as im typing this im crying because this upsets me so much that i can't even look into the mirror without thinking im fat.
i think that no matter what anyone says on here won't make me stop thinking i am fat.
do i actually need help? please answer this! thanks in advance for all answers and your help!!!!

Answer 1

hey, being a recovering bulimic DONT START!! please hunny dont! HONESTLY, i did the same thing. yeah i almost killed myself. its not worth it. when i first started i wasnt fat i was healthy i was about 110 lbs and now im like 98 and im like at a healthy weight. but i went down to like 84 and i was really skinny. and it was kinda gross. okay so i first thought . im going to only purge like a few times when no one was around. and i started doing it like 7 times a day. trust me then if u purge your body makes u eat. and u eat alot and you cry. cause its the worst feeling in the world, when your body craves it like u have and INTESE urge, not hunger like an urge. its strange. i did alot of streange things too, with my food. and i still do it cause i cant get over it. but im letting you know right now its not worth it. im trying to get sponsered for snowboarding and im a year and a half behind from all this crap!!!!! just dont do it. :)

Answer 2

When you say "making my self sick" do you mean that you make your self throw up or that you get sick while looking at yourself in the mirror? either way is an indication that you need help. I used to have the same problem. I always thought i was fat and every one was skinner than me. My mom works out in the mornings like at 5 am with all my friends moms and they have there own little work out group. So i started to work out with them and all my friends joined up to. Now I'm "skinny" and i feel great about my self. And you can do the same.



Every morning now i run 3 miles with some of my friends and there moms I'm not saying start out that way but stat with a little at a time. So you can get some of your friends together to work out with you and to help support you during this. Like at times when you feel like you want to quit you know your friends are counting on you to continue working out. Your friends can tell you your doing a good job and encourage you, that will also keep you going. And after a while you'll start to get smaller and feel better about your self. I hope i helped. I really do wish you the best. Good luck.

Answer 3

yes u do. please get some aswel. im 23 now but wen i was 15 i watched my best friend do n feel the same as u. she told no one ow she felt n secretly did fings like throw food away n make herself sick. she became anorexic n has since had an ongoing battle wit food. she got so bad with everything she wud not leave the house and wasted her precious teen yrs on bein worried about herself n restriciting herself to her home. she has since had councelling n therapy to try n resolve this continuous battle with food. she's also 23 now n doin really well. she eats sensibly n has a mcuh more positive self esteem. seek help n talk to other people wit the same problems, but reformed bulemic/anorexics as they will advise u wot to do instead of encourage. talking to people will help, you are not the only one to think the way u do about urself so please dont fink u need to deal with this on ur own. start by talking to sumone about how u feel n visit ur gp. good luck!

Answer 4

Make sure you get help now because once you start its like a drug and its hard to pull your self out. I can speak from experience I started not eating and then it went to when I did eat I would make my self throw up. It took long time to get my self to do the right thing.



You need to eat healthy and exercise its a change of life and making it something you stick to and not just do it until you loose the weight that's how it comes back.



Try talking to your mom and let her know you want to start eating healthy.



Good luck!

Answer 5

You know first of all you probably aren't fat, I haven't got a magic ball too make sure but your mates wouldn't lie especially if they knew how much it is bugging you.



Don't cry, no need :)



Like yes I went through this stage of like oh I am fat, like I am not skinny yet not fat, kinda just right as everybody says, lol



But my friends say "Oh god I am so fat, like yuckk"



And its like fuckk me you are way skinnier than me so do you think I am like morbidly obeese, lol



But if this really is bugging you, which it clearly is then tell someone that you know you can trust :)



or you could turn this into a positive, why not eat healthy and go out for like a 40 minute jog everyday or something?



Hope I helped :)

Answer 6

I think you need to cry a little (it lets out toxins and is good for you) ;) but go tell your mom or a friend. I am not going to try to convince you that you are not fat but you need to think about what you are doing to your beautiful body. To yourself, and you can stop now. you hear about models making themselves sick for a job? that is sad.

best of luck!

Answer 7

Yes. You do need help. If you look in the mirror and all you see if fat, then you probably have an eating disorder. The brain tells you your fat, when your not. Get help, now!!!

Answer 8

see a doctor or talk to your mum about it.do you get picked on in school because of your weight?if you do speak to your teacher but stop torturing yourself as its just a phrase you,re going through.remember the ugly duckling as she changed into a beautiful swan :o)

Answer 9

yes, i do infact think that there is something seriously wrong.

you looked up ways to make yourseld sick?...

that is never a good sign or way to go.

one swim at the pool missed will not make you gain weight.

stop worrying about your weight and the way you look for just one week,

nothing will happen & i think that will reassure you.



& i hope helped you.

Answer 10

You do need help. Talk to your parents and probably a psychologist. No one is content with his/her body. It's a normal thing, but you cannot harm yourself in the process.

Answer 11

Yes, yes you do.

It's a mental illness, like any eating disorder... throwing up and exercising too much isn't doing you any good...

Answer 12

I as quickly as had a chum who became very close to to me. as quickly as as quickly as we've been sitting on the fringe of a swimming pool, she crammed the palm of her hand with some water and held it in the previous me and reported this: "you spot this water heavily contained in my hand?" It symbolizes love. "it is how I observed it. as long as you save your hand caringly open and allow it to proceed to be there, that's going to be there. whether in case you attempt to close your arms around it, it is going to spill via the 1st cracks it unearths." it is the wonderful ppl do whilst they meet love. attempt to very own it, assume it, call for it, and it purely spills like the water out of your hand. If there are people you adore, enable them to be loose beings. provide and don't assume. suggestion yet do no longer order. Ask, yet in no way call for. it might desire to sound straight forward whether that's a lesson that would take an entire life to truly prepare. that's the secret of true love. to truly prepare it , you need to clearly sense no expectancies from those you adore, and yet an unconditional being concerned" existence is captivating, stay it. in case you adore something, enable it circulate. If it comes returned to you, without you having to plead or beg, then its yours forever. If it would not then it grow to be in no way meant to be"

Answer 13

Sweetie- First off, stop torturing yourself!!!



It sounds to me like you have an eating disorder called Bulimia. It is very serious and can cause your organs to stop working and you can die from this.



I advise you talk to your mom or ask her to take you to the doctor and talk to them. You will need some counseling to help you through and remember that millions of teen girls and boys go through this....you are not alone but you HAVE GOT TO talk to someone who can help you!!!!!!!

Best of luck and please, talk to your mom.

Answer 14

Yes, and I think you know that to.

Talk to someone maybe a kids help line or something, they can give you the advice you need.



And don't judge yourself so harshly.

Answer 15

yes
