I was never diagnosed with an eating disorder. Even though I fit h e criteria of suffering from anorexia. I stop eating. I started feeling dizzy and cold all the time especially in the summer because I had lost so much weight. I should have been check into a clinic. I am now where I am supposed to be. But now I am concern of the physical damaged that is done to my body because I m now suffering from physical health problem. Anyone ever experienced this?

I was very blessed in that the 2 major anorexia periods in my life which were when I was 43-45 & then again 51-54 I had absolutely no physical damage come from it. It was a miricle actually considering how low my weight got to & the fact I was hospitalized medically many times during those periods of time.
Hope you are ok. __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck. We went everywhere together like this. Leo my soulmate will live in my heart FOREVER Nov 1, 2002 - Dec 16, 2018 |

Now I live alone on a farm that requires me to be well to do the care necessary. The grief of losing my soul mate doggie on Sunday has really messed with my appetite & I have to be careful because it is things like this that have triggered my anorexia in the past __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

In treatment all they harped on was that I had body image issues. What they NEVER touched on was the REAL CAUSE which was the stress of everything I was going through & no one even thought to consider my bad marriage because it looked good from the outside. Ah....what we really learn years down the road when everything comes to light & starts making total sense to us.

If you're not feeling well, Buffy01, I think you need to go to a doctor and see how it goes from there. Hopefully that will help. I'm sorry you're struggling with this, I know it's hard. Please stay safe and take care of yourself. Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you

Remember Karen Carpenter also abused laxitives & other unhealthy things to increase her weight loss. I remember reading that ipecac abuse was the real reason for the condition her body got into & the heart problems that actually caused her death. Often we do things without knowing or caring at the time what the REAL consequences will end up being.

I have damage to my body because of 24-25 years of severe anorexia. Severe pain, and pain medications dont help much. Many issues. I wish I had decided to get better long before i actually did.

You could. I know way to many other people who died from their eating disorder. Eating disorders are serious. You can very easily die from it. |
