Eating Disorders...all new to me.

[jumpskyhigh82]

This is my story.
I am in my junior year of high school, doing well and have many friends. In thenth grade I suffered a bad horseback riding injury, I was competing jumping and fell on my head. My personality has completely changes (mostly my eating habits) I was just never hungry so I just didn't eat. I lost about XXXXlbs over the summer, everyone said how good I looked when school started again. Then one day I felt just like I was going to be sick, when the nurse called my parents, they told her that I was not eating and I had to see a school social worker.

This was all new to me. I kinda felt like I had a mental problem. But I know I dont. She started asking me questions related to ED. I did not like talking to her so, I started eating more, but now I dont want to eat anymore. I feel really guilty if I do eat, and I feel that eating is just taking time out of my day. I got sick again and have to see the social worker at school, she thinks that I may have an eating disorder. To be honest I am scared and embarressed!! Patty (the social worker) said that if I do not start to eat at least three times a day she is going to call home. I am scared of what my parents would say.

I have looked over some of the things about ED, and took the questionarie, and said yes to alot of the question. I am not overwieght, but not underwieght, so i dont know if I would be considered to have an ED. I don't know wheather I should talk to someone about all this, or just drop it and hope that I don't lose to much weight.

Hi! Thinking that the fact that you have taken the trouble to post it sounds as if you are concerned deep down. Also, others around you sound as if they are also so I definitely would take this further and get some more help even if it is only reassurance. Good luck, x
