[DoneIt_EndedIt]

Are you anorexic if you barely eat... or is anorexia just where you stop eating all togteher?
I'm confussed because in June i was barely eating... and i felt faint all the time.. was i becoming anorexic.. i did want to lose weight and i thought i was fat.
Any help?

anorexia

I think it's a pretty common myth that anorexics don't eat anything as if that were true anorexia sufferers would die pretty quickly.
There's a few key points that doctors tend to use to reach a diagnosis of anorexia: loss of periods, BMI below 17.5, intense fear of gaining weight/becoming fat despite being very underweight, body image disturbance...

If you're worried about it perhaps make an appt with your GP or get in touch with Beat.
