Yes, I think so
Quote From: lyndsaye hi, My name is lyndsay and i'm 15. I moved from Doha, Qatar to California last year. Since then i lost a lot of weight really fast and my mom has even freaked out. I gained it back but i started freaking out. I am 5'1-2 and i weigh between 83-85 lbs...my friends are concerned about me, and i can't eat a meal without excersizing excessively or taking a diet pill. I look in the mirror and i see myself fat. Do i have annorexia?
Please help.
Lyndsay Yes, I think you are anorexic. My daughter was diagnosed in January, she got down to 82 pounds and is 5 feet tall. I would suggest you get help. There are very specific lab tests that need to be done. If you are not eating enough, you will damage all your internal organs, inlcuding your heart. Your total body chemistry will be screwed up. Do you have lanugo (hair growing on your body), are you cold all the time? Are you dizzy and tired all the time. These are physical symptoms of anorexia. I would definitly recommend you get help right away. It is very difficult to overcome this on your own without professional help. Please don't delay!
