Hi im a minor who has difficult eating problems. I think it started from me not accepting my body for how it was. I dont wanna tell my parents nor my siblings. I dont feel comfortable expñaining it to them. Once, it slipped out of my mouth how I hated myself for eating something and they kinda sidetracked it btu my mom just warned me that I better not be anorexic. But i really wanna know what I have. All i ever hear about is Anorexia, and Bulimia. But I think I dont have any...
I have been like this for months now and dont thinks its right. I may want to eat something because Im somewhat hungry but then I will convince myself that I dont need it. And instead, take in a lot of water. I have developed forced hatred towards specific foods that were a regular eat for me. Such as donuts, ice cream, popcorn, and so much more. Sometimes, I get caught up in the momentum of hunger and eat a snack but after doing so I feel hatred, and upset with myself. I will try to go by without eating for as long as I can.
However I have strict parents who always make me finish whatever I am served, so I do always end up eating three meals a day. And i noticed that I would alwyas be the first to finish eating. (I have never vomitted food on purpose) Only once, I had to eat a cookie so I put it in my mouth meanwhile they were with me but directly went to the bathroom to spit it out bc i didnt like the chocolate it had.
The day I noticed that I should try to change my behavior was when my mom had made oatmeal for everyone but she added on some condensed sweet milk. So i started freaking out about it and my mom was arguing with me saying it was an exaggeration. But she briskly just told me at the end to not eat it and I went to my room and cried... I dont know why. Please help me
hi, i’m not a specialist but i did a year of psychology before quitting and we vaguely looked at eating disorders. there’s restrictive (restrict yourself from eating certain foods), purgative(vomiting) and excessive exercise (when you burn off more calories than you consume).
anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are when you vomit. i don’t t...... reply
I think you might need professional help. If you can’t tell your parents, try telling a friend, a teacher, a relative, or some other person you trust will help you. Please get help early before you become really sick. I believe in you reply
You'll wanna go through medical websites to make sure, but it could be be puberty. I also used to eat a lot, but I've grown to hate sweets, oily foods, and most foods that aren't Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). It could be that you want foods you didn't grow up with, which would be the opposite of what happened to me. You could also try some foo...... reply

I don't know if this will be of much help, but from what you said you are indeed suffering from an ed... I can't really specify which one so I'm taking my experience into account.
I suffered from ed back in 2018 and recovered, so I know how much pain you must be suffering.
You are not alone and it's not wrong to eat, your body needs it and you will...... reply

Hi! I think you may have ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder). I'm not a professional but I made research about it (since I may have the same thing that you have). It can be base on its taste, texture, smell, presentation or even past experience that you had with the food. I avoid eating certain types of food such as vegetables or frui...... reply
