disordred eating or eatting dissorder

ok i never herd of disordered eating// is that something new?..lol.. sounds the same in a way

Eating disorders are psychiatric illnesses characterised by frequent occurrences of under eating, overeating, purging, or a combination of these behaviours.

The most commonly discussed eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. If an eating disorder is allowed to carry on for long enough without help or treatment the health consequences can be severe.

Disordered eating patterns describe irregular, unhealthy eating behaviours such as binge-eating, dieting and purging. They also come under the umbrella term 'Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified' (EDNOS). Food behaviours are not as frequent or repetitive as those seen in clinically defined eating disorders, but are still a serious cause for concern.

Hey hun,
I dont think youve got an eating disorder yet, but i do think that you are headed towards developing one. And let me tell you they are not nice. They mess with your body and mind. You could end up in hospital or dead, and you'll end up depressed with low self esteem. Not a road you want to go down.

With the dsleep thing... do you know why you cant sleep? Try writing a list of how your feeling. Then ask yourself why your feeling that. For example, if oyur tired, why are you tired? Becuase you cant sleep, why cant you sleep? etc...
I also suggest taking a bath before sleeping, buy some shampoo or body wash with lavender in it, this should make you feel tired.

I think you should tell someone about your eating habits, a teacher or a parent? They could take oyu to see a doctor or a nutrianist. I think they could help you.

Take care or yourself,
PM if oyu want to talk.

When I went to school I had a healthy diet, like I ate breakfast and everything, but since I stopped I never eat anything before late afternoon, and finally I give up and eat dinner. If I eat breakfast I feel guilty, and the same with lunch. At the end of every day I feel terrible for giving in to the hunger and eating dinner. I'm not skinny though I'm kinda chubby, I'm like 53kgs (116Lbs) and 165cm tall... I don't know if I have an eating disorder or not, if so this would just add to my problems -I have severe depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and self-esteem problems...

Tamsin, your BMI is 19.5 this is normal weight. Thought under 18.5 you would be counted as underweight.

Thought you may still have an eating disorder, i think that this would be a EDNO, or maybe not an eating disorder at all. I thin k you should talk to a nutrienist or your doctor for proper advice. You dont starve yourself completely, so your not exactly anerexic, and you dont purge so your not bulimic...
But you have got a bad attitude towards food, are you eating enough calaries?
Food is good hun, you need food for survival, we should be thankful of the fact we have food available. Do you feel like you have to be thin?

If oyu need to talkim hear, though i really do think you should see a doctor, just in case.
