recovery gone wrong.....

Posted in Group: 

hey, i'm 13 years old and a couple of months ago i started losing weight. I was a little bit overweight and well, chubby sometimes i would cry because I didn't want to leave the house looking so "fat". So I decided to lose weight and I did , like alot in about 2 months and I loved it I was on top of the world being so skinny and walking in the streets feeling good about myself.... . The problem is is that I was barely eating enough food at all and I lost my period. I started noticing more changes like how I was always tired and upset and my head spun every time I stood up , my stomach became concave and my hands started to dry out and become bony and ruined. But I didn't care as long as I was skinny , that was all I thought about :food , exercize , calories , and anything relating .I became obssesed , that was all I could talk about , and it just got worse , my bones stuck out my cheeks got hollow and I got bags under my eyes , I still hadn't gotten my period for 5 months and I was always feeling drained. My mom finally took me to a specialist and a nutritionist and they tried to help me at first I went too far, I took up binging and then doing CRAZY amounts of exercize. I gained some weight but my heart rate was like deadly low the next week I lost weight and my heart rate was still low , they threatend to send me to the hospatal. Now I got physically a little better my cheeks have color and my eyes aren't hollow and my heart rate got better but" I " got worse. I don't want any risk of gaining weight so I lye about not doing exercize and I find myself hating me when I eat right and I'm kind of losing it. 2 days ago I tried to drown myself just because... I wanted to I wanted the pain , the distraction , and I also have friends who cut themselves so today I wondered why and I tried to cut myself and I was mad when it didn't work . I really am scared in every way so that while everyone else thinks I'm making progress I'm misarable and I'm starting to become dangorous to myself I know it's bad and that I should stop but I just can't Oh , and I also kind of started litarally starving myself of food I'm scared and no one will listen please I need help .....

Honey-you need to get help, DEMAND help from your parents, a teacher, counselor, a trusted adult, etc.. You went from one extreme to another and you need help to learn how to live in the middle, eating, but eating healthy and nutritously, working out, but not to excess, you have to be able to confide in your parents, sometimes even moms and dads can be blind to their own children. Even though you are still so young you have to be the adult and say, "listen, I am sick, if I continue down this path I will get worse, I need help and I need it now!"

Please let me know how you are doing, be brave and get the help you need now!

CK is right. Talk to someone now. You are so young. You have a full life ahead of you. You need professional help. Help is available but you will have to want to be helped. Reach out to your Pastor or Priest if you go to church, or talk to one on the phone. Just do something to help yourself. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayer.
