Okay, well I could go on forever but obviously I won't so I'll try and keep it short and sweet.
I have recently been diagnosed with an eating disorder, I had an assessment earlier this week with CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services). I'm almost 17...
I was told I am 20% under what I should be in weight. Apparently, I should be at 100%, anorexic people are classed anorexic at 85% but I am 80%.. however I am not anorexic. I weigh 45.7kg... I was told I am starving...
So basically, I need to try and get better asap, my parents are saying if I don't get better I will have to pull out of college, which is the last thing I want to do. However, I am finding it extremely difficult to eat at the moment and when I do I am told it's not enough, then I feel really ill. I feel soo much pressure right now to eat it's horrible!
I have also been experiencing some new symptoms, I feel sick a lot, I find it hard to breathe sometimes, I get really hot occassionly and I have had a bad headache.. Pretty sure this is all as a result of me not eating :L
I do feel really upset that I am trying and dont seem to be getting anywhere, after my assessment I felt depressed because I didnt realise how serious I was. I now feel loads of pressure to eat and it is making me worse.
I am struggling to eat in the morning and at college...I guess I am asking if anyone has any advice or techniques to help me, cause I desperately need it now!
Thank you!
