very scared!anorexia/eating disorder and very early menopause symptoms?
i am very scared right now.for a while i have been suffering with an eating disorder,i am 5’4 108lbs and 14years old and eat very very very little.i have an extreme fear of gaining weight,and i have been loosing it extremely quickly.its tuesday and since friday all i have eaten is a peeled cucumber,diet soda,green tea and water.i ignore my hunger,drink water,and dont eat much at all.even when i ate the cucumber,i was on the treadmill and i walked it off not long after.i dont meet the citeria for anorexic perfectly (im not 15% under a healthy weight) but i think i have an eating disorder.
and now,i dont know if this is what it is,but im getting really wierd,horrible symptoms,like menopause.a wierd heart beat,mood swings,hot flashes,dizzyness,lightheadedness,sleeping problems,extreme fatuigue,headaches,anxiety,aching muscles and joints,when i stand i lose my vision,my tounge and lips go numb and i lose my balance for a minute or a little less..
im really scared right now,and i dont know what to do,and i dont want to go to the doctor about it because i dont want anyone to know about my eating problem,because in all honesty,i dont want to eat,i dont want to recover..
but i am really scared and i dont know what to do.

Go to the doctors. even though you dont want to you need help!!
hope it helps
Hun,
You meet all the criteria for a diagnosis of EDNOS – and I don’t think you would be posting unless you wanted help.
Your symptoms are those of starvation, not menopause – but your body will stop having periods if you are not eating,
Speak to your Mom or another adult you trust – print this off and show them if you think you can’t talk about it.
The not wanting to eat and the not wanting to recover is part of how the anorexia affects your brain – you do need help and you can get better.
its not menopause ur anorexic sorry but you have all the symptoms. i used to be that way and im a guy I weighed 260 sum pounds and didnt do shit and now im 135 and i dieted and exercised. but after i lost it i was soo afraid of gaining it back i was alil anorexia nervosa and i told myself that gaining alil weight was ok and that i wasnt fat. i still struggle with not wanting to gain weight but im fine now and if you dont get it checked out and get help you will die if it dgoes too far you are not fat and i tottaly understand but u can get better
Ok so as you have told us this is not good.. You have got anorexia nervosa and it is a serious mental health disorder that needs to be treated right away.. It must be really difficult for you, i know that you might me embarrased to go to a doctor but you really need to.. Go with someone that you trust like you mum..These symptoms are not good and you are in great danger if you dont get yourself some help..
good lluck and take care of yourself!!
Hun, this is not menopause, it is an eating disorder. Just because you do not meet all the criteria for anorexia, doesn’t mean you don’t have a disorder. Your symptoms are very serious and you need to speak to someone about it. I understand that you don’t want anyone to know, but the only people who have to find out are your parents and the doctors.
I know exactly what you’re going through, because I am fighting an eating disorder right now. I was struggling for two years before I got help. I was just like you. I didn’t want to eat and I didn’t want to recover. But when I finally ended up in the hospital and almost died, I was forced to get treatment. Had had almost identical symptoms as you, and they are very serious, and need medical attention. My disorder caused an irregular heart beat as well, and that is what sent me to the hospital. My heart had become so weak, that when I was “over exercising” as a always did, it gave out, and I had a heart attack. I don’t mean to scare you, but the other symptoms I had as well. And if by menopause you mean not getting your period anymore, it’s called Amenorrhea. I had this for a while, but luckily when I began treatment and gained some weight and gave my body the nutrients it needed, i got my period back.
Please tell someone what you are experiencing. I know you don’t want to recover and eat, but just think about it for a minute. Would you rather eat and be healthy, or would you rather end up in the hospital and possibly die? Trust me, it is worth telling someone and getting help. I am finally realizing this myself. If you want to talk or need advice or have any questions, please feel free to email me.
