Anorexia

Question:

My best friend told me I am anorexic......... I don't really know if I am or not and I have no idea what to do!



Answer:



The first thing that I believe would be helpful for you is to understand what Anorexia is to see if you fall into this category. I would encourage you to talk to an adult who could walk with you in this and help you process your situation. It would do good if you could walk through this with someone and let them help you see if you do have Anorexia. A website that could give you a good understanding of Anorexia is http://helpguide.org/mental/anorexia_signs_symptoms_causes_treatment.htm. It may be that you have feelings that lead in this direction or it may be that measures need to be taken. If it's a couple beliefs that need to be altered, a couple websites such as www.findingbalance.com and www.river-tree.net/onelife are helpful sites in seeing a healthy view of how God made you and how He wants you to view who He has created you to be. If this is something that you know is too much for you, we would be happy to help you find professional Christian counseling to help you walk through this.
