~*Extreme Confusion

[Confusion07]

My ED is ednos, I am real confused about this I have had both Anorexia and Bulimia over the past four years when my cousin died. But now I have symptoms of both which confuses my doctors, but I'm at less risk for protein definicy (does this make sense to anyone?) Here is my story if anyone is interested. At the beginning of August 2006, school started back and I was under a lot of stress, I mean I liked most of my teachers, and I had two that was familiar with (both in second semester instead of in first semester) and I really disliked only one of the ones I was stuck with for first. I got tons of homework every night, then I had to come home and hear my parents argue for hours on end, plus fighting with mine and Ana.Red09's younger sister. My friendships weren't too good either, but one good thing was happening one very important friendship was taking roots, the Lord sent me in the path of a Junior to help get her saved (she is coming along quite nicely if anyone is wondering)... anyway, a few months later after august, I just got real obsessed with my weight. One week I didn't want to eat, food absolutely freaked me out (that I suppose was the anorexia symptoms) and then the next week I was obsessed with binges and purges... it was sort of a yo-yo affect, one week I was anorexic and the next bulimic?!?!... so I was took to the doctor and after talking with me about my eating habits they diagnosed me with ednos. Does anyone know of anyone else with this "new" eating disorder? I'm sure they will eventually give it a name... and I have another question... Anorexia is represented by the color red, does anyone know what color Bulimia is represented by??

please everyone pray for me... I have so many things ahead of me in life (as the rest of you do I'm sure) and I have a dream to be a teacher someday, and I really don't want that ruined, and I have that girl to worry about, if she finds out then it won't be good. I hate being confused like this... help and pray.

I'm sorry you are struggling so with eating. I know how stressful this can be. I have never been diagnosed with anything specific. My doctors dance around what is wrong with me depending what symptoms I'm showing at the moment.

I know that you are wanting to know more about your condition and to connect with someone that understands. What I find to be important in your thread and post is you. You are searching and looking and obviously have an eating disorder. If I could diagnose myself, I would label me as EDNOS. I go through many of the same things you describe. Food freaks me out to the point of mentall breakdown at times. Others, I eat fine then later fill my body full of pills to get rid of it all.

Are you seeing a therapist or anyone to help you talk about it and sort through your emotions and feelings about food and your weight?

Also, many times eating disorders can run thick in families. My mother and sister both struggle with weight and eating. My sister is currently under weight. My mother is right on the cusp of being underweight. We all compete with one another and have a very sick relationship with food and each other in many regards because of this.

i think right now your eating behavior seems a little chaotic. i don't know if a physician would be able to put their finger on what you have until you have a little more time in it. it seems like it's been two weeks. who knows, that may be it for you and back to normal eating you go.
