News of Anorexia Nervosa Forum

I was reading my personal file that contains all my health documents and going over the various psychological reports given to me over the years. Through this I have realised that I have lived with Ana for nearly 14 years of my life from official dx and probably longer. Since the start, the past two weeks have been the longest that I have ever gone without acting on ED behaviours (not including clinics).

I don't ...

I have organised meal support and I have spent today organising my meal plans.

I am looking forward to having the energy to be more physically active again. Right now I can barely stand for a long period of time and I can only manage moderate pace walking. I miss going to the gym and doing sport. I really want to take up dancing again. I'll keep that as my goal.

I know it might ...

I'd been in constant state of denial that I could possibly have an eating disorder . This started in around April this year. I was always a fussy eater having a long list of foods i dislike and don't eat. But I wasn't BMI obsessed . I have always been a good BMI and never close to over weight . But it all changed in April and I got obsessed with weight loss i wanted ...

I have intrusive thoughts and images. An image keep entering my mind that I will be forced to be around people who want me to break my strict diet and won't take no for an answer.

For example, in the South, the culture includes eating a lot more. Big breakfast, big lunch, big dinner. Some old fashioned Southern women see cooking as a form of love. They show love through feeding people. It's almost spiritual. ...

i have always been afraid of eating since i was a little kid. i was afraid of food. i didn't want to eat because i was afraid of throwing up or getting food poisoning. i never ate at restaurants or if i ate at friends i avoided meat.

my thought was if i didn't eat and i had the stomach flu i would not throw up much. this is very unrealistic and stupid but it ...

I don't eat after noon. It's about control. I have no control over any aspect of my life, not my actions, not my emotions, not even my thoughts (I hear abusive voices). The voices harass me to get married, have kids, etc. I can't get away from them, even if I were able to avoid people.

Can anyone relate? Will I become anorexic?

Whenever I restrict my diet, I find it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I would usually elaborate more but I don't have enough energy at this moment.

Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum, so I would like to introduce my self.
I'm coming from Slovenia and I was struggeling with anorexia for 9 years.
I know, that anorexia is a serious problem and that's why I'm not going to live my life as I did, but I want to help others, to beat it as well. I'm recovered for 3 years now, and I have a lot of experiences from that ...

So before I had my breakdown back in 2016 I was between *mod edit* lbs 5'11. But of muscle. Then I was given "seroquel", and boy oh boy did this make me eat, and not only eat more it slows your metabolism down, so doubly whammy. I jumped up to *mod edit* lbs of fat lazy smoker by November 2017. So in April 2018, I finally got sick and tired of being unhealthy, so I ...

Lately I've been feeling really intense urges to restrict my food intake, over exercise, and count calories. I've been fighting it off but some days my body dysphoria is too much to handle. I'm really proud that it's been so long since I've restricted to the point of needing medical care, but I still have a ton of bad habits to break. I've come a long way but my diet is still so rigid and ...
