help me please :( anorexia and treatment?
My doctor reffered me to my second outpatient therapy 
I don’t want to go I don’t think I have a problem, I don’t want to waste their time.
I’m 5′9 and 101.4lbs my BMI is 15.1, Im not even thin I want to lose 15lbs or so but my GP told me I was 1 1/2 stone underweight even for my small frame, he told me if I didn’t go to therapy and I continued to lose weight he would section me
Im really scared I don’t want to go back to treatment, the last time they tried to put me into a hospital but i refused and faked a recover where I put on the stone then as soon as it stopped I lost the weight and 2kgs more than at my worst. before recovery I was 108lbs eating 150 caories a day but i binged twice a week, after recover weight gain I was 115lbs. I’m 16 and in england by the way.
do i need recovery, have i still got anorexia? do you think they will make me go to hospital?
thanks and please dont get rude =]
i never said i was fat, i want to lose the weight because it shows my imperfections, its compicated to explain, i got it because of family and my best friend died 2 weeks ago, the other doesnt really understand and believe me every day i hate myself because of what i put them through i cry at night wishing that i was the daughter they wanted not some messed up teen (i have depression, anxiety, ocd and slight BDD) nd taken an overdose i dont do it for attention i do it as a way of coping please dont judge me
hunny you know you have a problem. if you knew you were ok you wouldnt talk about recovery you can only recover if you have something wrong. you know you are underweight and this will cause you serious health issues in later life. please go to therapy and listen to what they have to say let them decide if your wasting their time or not. with anorexia you don’t realise you have a problem your mind is set on making you belive you need to be thinner. your therapist will help you understand what is happening and hopefully make you see that you do have a problem. i wish you so much luck, and please get some help YOU DO NEED IT… its for your own safety and losing more weight could end up in your death or very serious internal injurys to your vital organs.
people just remember this is not her fault you can’t just decide to be anerexic it is a decease and she knows she has a problem but when you going through it you dont see it like anyone else does, you just see it as your way to cope. just offer her good caring advice.
therapy really will help you you can talk through your anxiety and worrys sharing your problems and fears will help you and you won’t have to struggle alone.

There is a link between anorexia and zinc deficiency. Here is an article:

Also, here is a link about a girl who went to The Option Institute to help with her understand why she had anorexia – it is a few videos down. http://www.option.org/custom:single,595
Love and best wishes.

You’re 5′9" and you’re 101? Holy shit, you are NOT overweight. You are UNDERWEIGHT. You need to seek help, or it will be the end of you.

i guess since youre 16 its up to your parents to make decisions about treatment so you should talk to them about it.

I have observed and analyze the situation what you described and I also respect your feelings. But you also have to realize that, you don’t need to judge your condition yourself. It’s like that when we were small children and try to hide our emotions, but our parents easily judge them. So Dr, Psychiatrist/Psychologist also do have feelings beside their professional experience and they can assume & judge the conditions taking all the things into consideration. You are underweight so you don’t have to relate this problem to other factors or mental problem like you mentioned depression, anxiety, OCD etc.
So don’t presume or prejudge the situation. Try to seek help.
Best wishes…
