WHY WON’T ANYONE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?! How can I get out of treatment for anorexia, a disorder I don’t have!!!?
Question : WHY WON’T ANYONE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?! How can I get out of treatment for anorexia, a disorder I don’t have!!!?
My older brother found a bag of rotten dinners in my closet- as my family was eating, I would put food in my sleeve or pocket and then store it in my closet so I wouldn’t have to eat. He told my parents and now everyone in my family thinks that I’m anorexic.
I told everyone that I’m fine and that I’m NOT anorexic but they don’t believe me- I explained that it’s not called anorexia when you’re fat, it’s called a diet. But she made me go to the doctor anyway and the doctor diagnosed me as anorexic, calling my eating patterns “disturbing” and my weight a “cause for concern.” I told her I was fine and she just wouldn’t listen to what I had to say. I went to outpatient treatment and lost more weight (because I could stand to lose a few, not because I have issues) the doctor and basically told my parents I was being admitted to a treatment facility.
Do I have any rights? Can I be re-evaluated by a different physician? I’m 17 years old, it’s my senior year of high school, and I don’t want anyone thinking I’m anorexic or insane. I don’t know what my friends would think, my boyfriend, my teachers, etc. How do I avoid treatment?!
Also, I went from 128 pounds to 110 pounds (at 5’6″). It was only 18 pounds, and I’m only four pounds underweight. Isn’t this ridiculous?

You need to go for the treatment..
If you really feel like you need to lose weight try the healthy way, diet (by the way diet and starvation are two DIFFERENT words) and exercise.
You dont need to lose any weight anyway. Go to the treatement and take it seriously.. the easiest way to get out of it? Do what they say and give it your all and you’ll be out faster. If you fight them you will make a scene getting you more noticed by freinds in a Negative way and the longer it will take for you to go through all of this.

As a minor, you don’t have a lot of rights. Your parents have them, and are doing what they believe is in your best interest.
I, too, find the hiding-food thing deeply disturbing. And you let it rot? E-e-ew. I also find 110 pounds at 5’6″ more than a little underweight for anything but a very slender frame.
Sounds to me like you do have an eating disorder. Denying it won’t make it go away. Facing it and accepting treatment will.

if your not insane then you should know that starving yourself will not make you loose weight or be healthy in the long run. The second you get hungry, your going to gain vack all the weight and even more. Lets be serious though, if you are 4 lbs under weight now and continue your eating habits, you will loose more and more weight. when you become 5, 10 15 pounds under weight and pass out from malnutrition, it will be too late. Don’t be foolish!
