Hello,
I got an eating disorder. I wanted to know, if anybody know something about it and maybe can help me get out of it. I'm getting very tired of having one. So I really want to get out of it. I tried so often, but its so hard. My body and my mind say Yes, go out. You can do it. But the voices in my head say no. Its to hard to do it alone. But I dont want to go in a clinic.

I've lost 18 kilograms and was underweight. It was a hard time. I thought it was the hardest, and badest time of my life. But then I gained 14 kilograms and then I realised that this will be the hardest time of my life. About 6 month ago, I wanted to weight about 32 kilograms ( 70 lbs ) but then I worked on my self and now I want to weight 45 kilograms ( 99 lbs ). I think it is a great work that i've done it alone.

Please, if you know how, help me! It would be great.
And sorry for my bad english! :/

    If you talk to your doctor or nutritionist, or a counselor, they can recommend you to the appropriate in or out patient treatment facility.
    If you are at a stable weight, they can provide you with a psychologist to help you figure out this problem and deal with it in a healthy manner. And your English is very good!

    You're only 15 years old!

    PLEASE, talk to your parents. They can help you... you need to talk to a doctor and find a psychologist (an ED psychologist). You need treatment and ASAP.

    Myfitnesspal is not going to help you overcome an eating disorder. EDs are real mental problems. You can only overcome them with an appropriate treatment.

    Thats incredible that you want to get help. Tell someone, your mom or dad or another adult you have an eating disorder and want help. Not all treatments require being in patient. It's very easy to recover at home.
    I know this all sounds like bs, but believe me... I've over come my eating disorder twice. You can do it, it's hard at first... but you'll be ok.
    Just tell someone, anyone.

    You really really should talk to a therapist/psychologist. Germany has pretty good public healthcare, since you're a minor you should be covered under your parents, please let them know what's going on (or if that's not an option another adult that you trust) and see if they can't help you find someone to talk to. Seriously, if you find a good therapist that you like (and sometimes you may have to do a little digging to find one), it can make all the difference in the world.

    I've dealt with disordered eating myself (mostly compulsive overeating/binging/laziness followed by periods of restriction and overexercising, wash rinse repeat) and it's not fun at all. I've mostly stopped the first one, and I'm to the point now where I'm just trying to maintain my current healthy weight and not go any lower. I use MFP to make sure I'm getting enough calories each day (my daily caloric intake would probably make most ED people cry but because I'm so active it has to be high so I can maintain) and surprisingly, counting calories, albeit in the opposite direction, has really helped me focus and fight the temptation to restrict.

    I'm mostly just a lurker around here since I feel like my reasons for using MFP differ from most peoples, and some of the weight-loss talk can be triggering for me, but I really wanted to respond to this and let you know you're not alone. Wanting help is the first step to getting better!

    I'm in the same boat as you are ;) though I'm still trying to loose way - but just the healthy way. MFP really helped to get a healthy vision of what I should eat and that I need to eat to keep my metabolism going .. just stick to your plan and you'll be fine. But I would as the others said also trust yourself to your parents...

    Du kannst jederzeit mir eine Nachricht schreiben wenn du gerade Hilfe brauchst :)

    My problem is, my parents hate me. And I hate them. And there is really no adult people I could talk with. I dont want to go in a clinic because of my school. It would make much problems.
    But I read often, there's a way to recorver at home. They say they did it, but then don't say how.
    And my second problem is, that I really want to loose weight, i made a plan wich shows me how much i should weight. I want to go to this point. But how? I've tried it like hundred times. But always got more in the disorder. I'm desperet. I'm ot patient. Thats why I can't do a healthy lifestyle. I would take too long.
    Any tips how I can be more patient?

    thanks for the replys. (:
