ive had an eating disorder for about half a year now, i find that people like my friends dont notice (which is good ) because yes i starve myself but i also binge constantly and only am sometimes able to purge. im 5 3 and have been 45 kilos for a while now, ive actually gained a kilo surprisingly considering my restrictive diet im on rn. I just wrote this bcs i havent met anyone else who hasnt had their weight dramatically plummet or increase during their ed so im just wondering if anyone else is the same.

Hi Chloe and welcome to Beyond Blue forums

Thought I'd pop in to say hi and let you know your not alone. While I don't have an eating disorder, I do have anxiety, depression and PTSD that does cause eating issues. It's the other way for me - my weight goes up, rather than down.

45kg is very small for 5'3. Couldn't imagine you'd want to lose any more weight.

Have you had a look at some of the threads on eating disorders that already exist in the forums? you could do a google search for -

eating disorder - beyond blue

You might find one that helps you out.

Kind regards
