Re: worried that I might have developed an eating disorder - June 4th 2012, 12:46 PM

Like Elizabeth said,
ED's are VERY complex. it sounds like some of the mindset of an ED is there... But notthe symptoms that make and eating disorder an eating disorder.
It sounds like you DO have a low self-esteem and some self-consiousness... But there aren't symptoms present for an eating disorder.

No one here on TH can diagnose you. We are not doctors.

If you have any symptoms like restricting calories DANGEROUSLY, obsessive exercise (an this doesn't mean 30 minutes everyday. When i was at my worst point I was exercising in secret 3 hours on weekdays and 5 on weekends.) purging, laxative abuse, binging, or fasting... Then you absolutely need to speak up, because that is eating disordered behavior, and it is extremely dangerous.

I think you have the low self-esteem that contributes to an eating disorder, but I wouldn't say you have an ED.


I wanna fly. So I do gymnastics instead.

I'll just keep holding on to what i believe and oh I believe in you. Give me the strength for the fight and the heart to believe cause I've got to believe in you. I feel so alive.
