hiyaa

ive kinda been like this since i was 12/13 and im now nearly 17
none of my family know because im soooo scared to tell them and ive never had it properly diagnosed but ive looked at the symptoms online for anorexia and ive got most of them :/

Symptoms of anorexia nervosa

There are a range of symptoms associated with anorexia. If you have anorexia, you may:

- have a body weight that is much less than expected for your age and height - it isnt that low (5ft 5 and 107lbs but its been lower…. the lowest was 90lbs) oh and im 16 and female
- eat very little, if at all, or restrict types of food, such as any containing fat - yh i dont eat alot, sometimes i got without any food for a few days
- be secretive about food - im always like this and make lies up saying that i have eaten
- cut your food into tiny pieces to look as though you have eaten some, and become obsessed with what other people are eating - yh i cut food into little pieces so it looks like ive eaten some and im really slow at eating aswell
- deny being underweight or having a problem with food - i do kinda realise that there is a problem with my eating now but i still think im fat
- obsessively weigh, measure and examine your body - i always weigh myself and if ive put on any weight im upset for the rest of the day
- have a distorted body image - some people say that im really skinny and pretty but all i can see is me being fat and ugly
- be obsessed with exercise - yh i kinda am …. when im really bad i sometimes pretend that im going to my friends house to have dinner but then i dont go to my friends house i just go for a long walk so i skip diner and also exercise
- use appetite suppressants such as diet pills - no ive never had any diet pills i would want to but i cant because my mum would realise … ive ate icecubes instead of food so i dont have any calories though
- make yourself vomit after meals or use laxatives or pills that remove water from your body - ive made myself sick after meals a few times… sometimes even blood comes up :/
- wear baggy clothes to disguise your weight loss - yh most the time but sometimes i wear baggy clothes (like my coat) because it covers my fat

Apart from weight loss, the physical signs of anorexia can include:

- losing hair from your head - yes all the time …. my hair is thinner than it was when i was younger and everytime i brush my hair or something a handfull of hear comes out
- having fine, downy hair on your body and face - yh i hate it !!
- feeling cold all the time - yh i always wear a coat and sometimes people are saying that there really hot and ive still got a coat on and im still abit cold
- altered sleeping patterns and insomnia - i can never get to sleep (the time i usually get to sleep is about 3/4 am)
constipation, bloating (feeling full) and abdominal (tummy) pain - yh :(
- puffy face and ankles - not really …. i sometimes have a puffy face but not that often
- light-headedness and dizziness - yes all the time!!
- tiredness with aching muscles - yh my mum always moans at me for being tired all the time
- difficulty concentrating - yes all the time
- mood swings and restlessness - yh i get angry really quick and i always cry now
- delayed puberty (as anorexia affects hormones)- no because i first came on when i was 11 (so it was before all this started)
- missing three or more monthly periods (in women or girls who aren’t pregnant or taking the contraceptive pill) - i think i have once but its usually just missing two months or it being irregular

i really dont no what to do :( …. i cant tell any of my family or anything because dont want them to blame themselves or anything
i know its got worse though :(

do you think i am anorexic …. i think i am but i just dont really know how to deal with it properly :/
i live in the uk

I have a receding hair line and products like rogain dont work with receding hairlines but only with balding spots on the back or something like that. I have a while before I can get Hormones due to job issues. I dont want to lose my hair! i couldnt handle being bald, heck i cant even handle have the hair i have now. My father went bald at my age and lost all his hair around 23 im 21 (turned in march) My doctor told me theres not alot you can do with genetic hair loss but i never told him im trans and plan on using hormones. How do i fix this? I read HRT has helped alot of trans females with their hair loss. but I cant take it for awhile. My questions are. Is there a point of no return for hair loss that even hrt cant fix? is there any way I can reverse it with out basically coming out as trans? I was told i would need to get prescription medicine for it from a specialist. I dont want to be bald! please help

We have 2 female Miniature Pincher’s about 3 years old. They both have a hair loss , and it is in a pattern on them, it has been progressive so that now only the backs of both dogs have a normal amount of hair. With one of them, it began when she had a cyst operated on and removed at the base of her neck, on top, where shots are normally given. The vet surgeon told us that at that time, perhaps some bacteria entered with the needle and that was the probable cause. Whatever. Then her sister started the same thing. Our vet advised that it may be a hormonal problem, not uncommon in little dogs, they are both under 5 pounds, and he gave us medicated shampoo and advised use of benadryl. The hair loss continued but slowed, maybe.

Now I have been reading about hair loss and for humans, we need protein, iron, most of all, increased in our diet. I have been giving vitamin supplements to them that I got from the vet but so far, no obvious regrowth. Oh, yes, also omega fish oil, that was recommended to give them *and for us to take also*.
Another interesting thing to me. We have another min pin who mostly plays outside and he has experienced NO hair loss. I am wondering about all this.

I have learned so much from others on Yahoo Answers in the past, I hope someone may point me in the right direction again. In the past for example, I had never heard of Capstar until one kind girl on YA told me and I shall forever be grateful to her. Capstar solved our problems. We have 9 dogs and as many cats. Thanks all.
Kathleen, I did suspect allergies and we put the dogs on California Natural varieties, no artificial anything and a bit expensive. The love it but still aren’t growing the hair back. It’s been a while. Baths are not more than once a week, or two, they are indoors most of the time so aren’t dirty. We use the medicated shampoo from the vet and also the AllNatural Oatmeal Organic. We take more care for our little dogs than we do for ourselves !
Jake ! You may have hit the target. I have been gone a lot, doing surgery in Central America, then 3 more weeks doing dental work, and a month with my grown kids away also. I wonder if it could be. The dogs definitely are ”my” dogs, and prefer me to any family members when I am home. Although they seem to love everybody, almost, it’s clear that they consider me The Place to Be. You have opened up a new area of consideration for us Thanks.
