Food

[Saph_Heart]

Came home today and tried to get something to eat but wasn't very hungry so I didn't eat and gave. Made food tonight for dinner but my friends ate it all...had a panic attack because I can't eat after dinner time and I'm hungry but not hungry and I don't know what to do. What do I do?

If this is a situation that is happening regularly I would suggest you need to visit your GP and ask for an Eating Disorder referral - or ring/email ABC and talk it through with them. It seems selfish of your friends not to share the food out between all of you - perhaps you need to draw their attention to the fact you did not get anything to eat?

They both know I have a problem with eating regularly so I think that they just don't care, though that may be the paranoia in me speaking. And I don't have a GP or any kind of doctor.

I really think you need to get some advice - and it is important that you do have a GP - perhaps give ABC a ring and talk to them?

I know this was two days ago but if it happens again, breathe. You likely went into panic mode as your body needed food. Have you brought it up with your friends that they ate it all? May I ask why you can't eat after dinner time? If you are hungry, you should eat. Especially if you didn't have dinner - if it happens again (which I hope it doesn't) make sure you have a back up plan which is to make dinner and eat it regardless of the time. You need it. Otherwise, your thoughts will spiral due to low blood sugar and you won't be able to make a decision.

We aren't allowed to make food after dinner time which is the reason why I wasn't allowed to eat after dinner. And my 'friends' could care less. They both know I have a problem with eating regularly so when I do eat, it's a miracle. And I used to keep little snacks and small bottles of gatorade in my room so I would have something to eat if it passed dinner time but I got yelled at for doing that so I stopped, even though that food came out of my pay checks. I don't know what to do anymore.

Where are you that you have to pay for your own food, cook it yourself but can only access a kitchen at particular times? Is there a way of talking to whomever limits access?
