So i think i have an eating disorder... basically for the last 18-20 months i haven't been able to eat in public without feeling sick and i can never swallow the food in my mouth... like my body won't accept it or something so when i just try and force it down it comes straight back up (along with anything else i've eaten that day).

Only in public though, i can eat like a normal person when i'm at home. But if everything is the same (same food/same people etc) i can eat that... and just that, like for lunch i can eat an apple and most of a sausage roll before i feel too sick and full, but if theres one extra person there i can't eat anything which makes it hard for me to do anything really.

My friend thinks i have something called bullimia but i'm not sure because she said its when you make yourself sick, and i've never made myself sick. I'm not asking anyone to diagnose me so inb4 bf2s is not your doctor... because i'm going see if theres anyone who can help at my college tomorrow and if not i'm going straight to the doctors.

So i was just wondering if you have any advice on what to ask the doctor and if anything like this happened with any of you. Thanks.

EDIT: about 6 months ago i weighed 8 stone 9

then around December i was 8 stone 6, then went to 8 stone 2 in 2 weeks because of this

Ask the doctor wtf is going on with you.

This sounds like a psychological problem, not a disease. You'll probably have to go see a shrink.

Just go see a doctor, this is pretty serious.

Bulimia sounds about right.

ed. No? Hmm... I dunno. Go talk to a quack about this and ask for further advice if you should see a shrink or sumtin.

This sounds serious mate. As Zimmer said, I'd see a shrink as opposed to a doctor.

Well obviously it's a psychological problem, and by saying you're not making yourself sick, but that's just what happens in public and it's totally involuntary. Well, that only makes it about a hundred times worse. See a doctor and a shrink.

Either that or you're lying, and you have bulimia, which is forced vomiting, and you're just being in denial about it all by saying that it's all involuntary.

i'm 16, i'm 6 foot 2 and 8 stone 2 is (about 119/120) pounds but last week i was 8 stone 1 so i'd say maybe 117 or something if you don't like using stone

No i've never made myself sick, i've been sick, but i don't make it happen.

Yeah, you're seriously underweight. This is a lot like the problem of pissing in public; but it just has a lot more serious repercussions if you don't eat healthily. You need to bulk up.

No. Bulimia is when you intentionally eat excessive amounts of food then force yourself to vomit.

It definitely sounds like a psychological issue. Maybe some kind of event happened while you were eating in public to trigger it, maybe not.

Although good on you for realising yourself that you need help

You could stop being diagnosed on a gaming forum and go see a doctor. Just sayin.

Some people are nervous about eating in public. You should see a psychologist.

Did you have a bad experience while eating in a public place before you started to have problems?

Might be caused by anxiety. Maybe you subconsciously are embarrassed of how you look eating or something.

Shit I always get stagefright, unless I'm drunk.

My brother had the same, it tied in with his social anxiety.

he grew out of it after a year or two

he also gets stagefright its hilarious knowing that he's standing at a urinal pretending to piss if someone walks into the room

I cured my stagefright by pissing with my girlfriend in the bathroom.

It doesn´t need to be directly related to a bad experience. Matter of fact, it would take a HUGE bad experience to have an impact that severe. This is most likely rooted elsewhere.

No matter what the docs say, I would recommend you to take at least a few sessions, or see your school councelor over a few weeks, because there might be an issue.
It happens alot to adolescents, so no need to feel ashamed about it. You should have gotten help sooner though, before losing all that weight

Health insurance does cover a part of the costs btw.

Dude you're really underweight. You need psych help and eventual referall to nutritional support to get you back to a healthy weight.

Only a Doctor can sort it out.

Aside, with places or people I'm unfamiliar with I can't eat much, otherwise eg fave curry house I eat like a horse and no problem

When I've had to work with people I don't get on with I can't eat breakfast - just comes straight back up.
I know top flight lawyers with the exact same problem before going to court, its a stress thing.

Can be specific stress related to the situation or general underlying stress.

Go to a Doctor.
