I have to go and see my gp about the concerns my family and friends have for my health as she has recommended I write a list of all the anorexia symptoms I feel I am experiencing, both physical and emotional.Although I know what I am feeling obviously, I do not know whether all the symptoms are those of anorexia. Would anyone be able to help me out with what classic anorexia symptoms are (both physical and emotional.)
What I am experiencing:
dramatic weight loss in a short space of time (self induced)
obsessive exercise
obsessive toward calories and i mean OBSESSIVE.
tiredness
constipation
this month my period has arrived way too early and rather than actual period like substance it is more just like coloured water literally.
I bruise easily now.
My bones are protruding.
The thought of gaining weight terrifies me
I feel as though I cannot get away from these thoughts and constant obsessions.
I feel run down all the time.
I am either grumpy or tearful.
I fear going out with my friends for meals or to parties because of the calorie consumption involved.
Are these all anorexia nervosa symptoms? I have battled anorexia nervosa before although I was only very young at the time (as in 9/10 years of age). I have also battled bulimia nervosa and have been threatened with admission to an eating disorder clinic. I have lost 12 pounds in the space of nearly four weeks. I now weigh 116 and I want to get down to 100. I am 5ft 6".
Any more symptoms any one knows of will be helpful as my gp knows of my eating disorder history and is very tough on me about these things. Thank you x
Danox is right.Please go see someone.how old are you?you have a lot of stress in your life.?your experiencing grumpyness.-that could be bi polar.-mood changes.

All classic symptons but you are aware of it and should do something about it, go to see someone and just forget about what you will look like and forget the obsessions because what if it turns fatal? start eating more steadily and like i said go see someone
