Hi, I am new here and need some one to talk to

I have all the characteristics of anorexia.I have recently had a blood test confirming that I am severely anemic and have deficiencies in almost every vitamin.I am currently having therapy for depression and can't face admitting the fact that I am sick to my mum.I want to be skinnier but I know that I can't loose much more weight. I have been anorexic for three years now and am five foot six and just over seven stone.I won't eat anything until late evening and then I will binge on junk food and foods with no calories. I write down everything I have eaten in my journal.

I need someone to talk to

Thanks

Ellen xxx

Hi Ellen you can talk on here what advice do you need i can see if i can help.

I would definitely recommend talking to your mum but if you can’t do that then talk to your GP

Thank you so much it's nice to see somebody actually cares

ABC have a helpline - so do call that. It sounds like you need to get some help - so please do speak to your GP and if you are in school/college do talk to a nurse or member of staff. EDs take over so quickly and you really do need to tell someone about the being sick as this can cause long term health issues for you.

Hey Ellen if you need a friend right now you can always message me. I'm new to this so not quite sure how it works but I know that anorexia is painful and horrendously lonely so if you do need to talk just message me, I'm in recovery right now so I understand completely x
