I was anorexic back in high school. I still have some issues with food.

Are you battling one of them?
 
had dealt with that in high school. 5'9" and weighing 120 pounds. Not healthy at all. I'm now closer to 175 lbs and have never been happier with my imperfect body. Good luck dealing with this. It's not easy.
 
circuitboi, so fill me in if you don't mind. If you're not comfortable airing it here, feel free to PM me.

Here's a parable for you:

A man fall into a deep hole. A doctor walks by. He yells up to the doctor:
"He doc, I'm down here. Can you help me?"

The doctor writes a prescription and throws it down the hole and leaves.

A priest walks by. The man yells up:
"Father, please, can you help me?"

The priest writes a prayer and throws it down the hole.

Then his friend walks by. The many yells out:
"Hey, Dan, it's me. I fell down this hole. Dude, help me!"

The friend jumps into the hole with him. Puzzled, he asks Dan:
"Why'd you do that for? Now we're both stuck."

Dan replies:
"Yes, but I've been down here before and I know the way out."

Some of use have been there before, and know the way out. (*8*)
 
I stumbled on this thread and I have decided to post... to be honest I don’t know if I am sick or if I am not....I would like to believe that I am not but what you seen in the mirror isnt what is always true...
 
looseliam, im sure you meant no disrespect by your parable, but some of us doctors have been there before and know the way out too. Not all of us hide behind prescription pads.
 
oz doc, I'm not sure how you took my parable to be disrespectful. I don't.

I have been down there before, and I know the way out.

Aside from that, it's a great saying.
 
not to sound dumb but how does someone actually become extrmemly anorexic
i understand the thoughts behind it to look perfect, but when someone wants to look perfect how do they not see that theyve become ugly by having their hair fall out, becoming pale, and showing nothing but bones.

It's usually psychological. Those who suffer from anorexia nervosa have an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat even though they themselves are underweight. As the self-evaluation process occurs, there is denial of the current weight, thus a distorted self-image. The fear of gaining weight is enough to keep from eating and denying your true body image.
 
When i first saw the heading "manorexia" i thought you meant anorexia due to the loss of a man.

When i was younger and broke up with my first true love my whole life fell apart. I couldnt eat, sleep, socialize for days, i was in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep depression and state of nothingness.

As a result i lost alot of weight and would appear anorexic but i wasnt.

Luckily i had a great support group and i was eventually able to bounce back.

My story is not unique. Lots of people, though mostly women, would stop eating after the loss of a man.
 
i'm underweight and a lot of people think i'm anorexic. it's funny, people thing i'm anorexic and are comdemning, not supportive. i do think i have some issues with food and self-image but i am not anorexic, and i'm trying really hard to put on weight and get to a healthy weight, but my boyfriend says i'm skinnier than i think i am...*sigh* he's really supportive though, and he tries to be tactful! putting on weight is harder than i thought it was going to be but i'm going to the doctor a lot. i was at first put on a diet that made me ill and i lost more weight than i'd already slowly gained :-(

good luck to all of you who are battling eating disorders.
