Eating disorder or something else?

[Vivian242003]

Hey, so a couple weeks ago my therapist told me she thinks I have an eating disorder or that I'm like withholding things from her regarding it. I don't like food, well its deeper than that I hate it, I don't think I deserve to eat and when people push me to eat I start getting hysterical and emotional. Yeah sometimes I eat but most of the time now I just don't want to I can go for so long just starving myself. Im not sure from where this started or why, I think its a self-hate thing.

Think I have got a eating disorder do you know what the symptoms are for it ?

[Vivian242003 in reply to lorraineforeman54]

Hey Lorraine, Im not a psychologist at all so I don't think its wise of me to say what symptoms are, and there are so many different eating disorders. However, you should look at things like binge eating and then not eating, or throwing up after eating, or counting calories excessively oor/and excessively exercising. But please if you feel as though you have an eating disorder, go to your doctor and then also talk to a therapist/psychologist/psychatrist. I hope you are well Lorraine

This sounds like a possible eating disorder trigger by some form of trauma, treat the trauma to treat the disorder. You are worthy,your body is worthy of food and taking care of yourself is taking care of your psychical and psychological needs. Have you tried yoga, meditation or hypnosis? Some great free resources on YouTube that could help! Take care of yourself! Hope this helps x
