health help: I think I am developing an eating disorder…. - Help.com

eat in small amounts. Eat light foods that your body will easily digest like cookies and breads and things like that. Basic foods that our body works best with. Also have things with vitamins like fruits and stuff so your body will be healthy. The problem with these is that the body doesn’t break fruits and vegies down too well, so make sure to have some of those breads. Just a little food, enough for a snack. Take care of your body and it will take care of you, it’s the only one you’ve got. If you do have an eating dissorder we have to talk about that, because that indicates low self esteem and clearly your a smart person and should think very highly of yourself. THe doctor won’t lock you away, even if you did have an eating dissorder, but doctors are there to help, not get you in trouble. Don’t worry, it’ll be okay.

No, a doctor can’t just lock you up in a psych ward.

If eating makes you ill though, there could be other reasons associated with this. You should see a physician and go from there. Constantly being worried over this CERTAINLY isn’t helping.

You’ve already decided to look in to the problem, so that’s a step in the right direction. Keep that up.

Just remind yourself to eat. every hour eat a few crackers or something. and a doctor wont send you to a crazy home if you ask for help with this. just tell him/her your story and i bet they’ll understand. there are other people out there with this same problem.

i feel nausea when i eat but i know i still must eat so i tend to eat less just enough to get by on the rest of the time i drink sodas or juice or tea but mostly soda i dont know if that helps its just what i do

I had that for ages, I just didn’t feel like eating, and the smell of it would make me feel ill too. And when I did have an appetite once in a while, I got really crook, and my tummy felt horrible. It was a stomach ulcer, you just get a script from the doctor for the treatment pack for Heliobacter Pylori (the bacteria that gets out of control and eats holes forming the ulcer), it lasts a week, and then you slowly improve after that. I feel a lot better now a month after finishing the treatment. Make sure you tell the doctor if you have any allergies to antibiotics, as they may then have to make you up a different treatment pack. And just by the way, its your body, nobody can lock you up just for your eating habits.
