Although I am obese the past couple

of month’s I have not been able to eat

my lunch at school because I am scared

Ppl will think I’m eating too much and I want

I have tried multiple times to purge myself

But I still eat too much at home because

at one point my mom realized I was

not eating as much

Do you get a voice telling you you are overweight ? Or do you have new urges and intentions of losing weight and you aren't sure where these intentions came from but you are going with them ?

Sounds like you need to talk to someone - and thoughts/attempts at purging suggest you have issues you definitely need help with. So do get an appointment with a medial professional or ring an Eating Disorder helpline to get pointed to a source of assistance.

Everyone deserves help no matter whether you’re overweight or underweight it doesn’t matter, an eating disorder will still cause damage.You should talk to someone, you could try messaging BEAT first if you’re more comfortable with that but you should probably see a doctor.

I agree talk to BEAT or at least visit there website. Is there someone you can confide in? It's really great that you've realised that this could become a problem and admitting that shows real strength of character. I would definitely try and speak to someone. Talk Ed are really good too. In the meantime look up bodyposipanda. Good luck.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling the way you are at the moment. I hope that during this difficult time you are remembering to be kind to yourself despite what others might say or think. I think that the advice previously mentioned may help you and seeking medical assistance will be beneficial. I just wanted to add to that by saying that you must prioritise your own health and well-being. Don’t let the opinion of others at school shape the way you think of yourself, try focus primarily on getting yourself to a healthy state physically and mentally. During this difficult time try to be mindful of your actions when it comes to eating and maybe with the help of a medical professional involved, they may assist you in uncovering the issues which are hidden behind the weight and eating.

I hope this helps, even if it’s just in a small way.
