Question: Help, I think I may have an Eating Disorder.? Please help..?
I think I may be suffering from BDD (Body dismorphic disorder)
I am very afraid to let anyone know about this problem, because I am a very small/skinny girl and I think my friends and family will just think I am being stupid. But I think I have this disorder because everytime I look in the mirror I lift up my shirt to look at my stomach. I am so obsessed with it getting any "fatter" and I am constantly doing sit ups because I really want it to be skinnier. Just my stomach though, I dont really worry about any other part of my body.
I feel almost sick if I look at it and it looks any chubbier.
Then I dont feel like eating for the rest of the day.
I feel extremely guitly when I eat.
I am constantly worrying about my weight and worrying that I do not get enough exercise. I am 5'3 and weigh 96 pounds and for some reason I am very terrified of weighing over 100 pounds.
Could this be BDD.? If so, what do I do to treat it.?
I am very scared, I am 16 years old and I dont know what to do.
Help would be very appericiated.
Thank you.Health Question & Answer

You are absolutely way too tiny. And you know it...But something in your head is making you think you are fat also. Because you look in the mirror and say "I'm fat" then you come on here and say "I'm a very small/skinny girl" So you know that you are skinny. You really should seek counceling for this. It is dangerous to your health.Health Question & Answer
omg im 5''3 and i weigh 76 lbs and people are always on my case about it and its just nice to be thin... if your scared that you have it... talk to sombody like a school counsler or your mom or dad and possibly go to the doctor. I can understand your fear of weighing over 100 lbs! i have that too and i think that thats just normal.Health Question & Answer
