I am too nervous to eat.Am i anorexic?
Are you losing weight? Do people tell you are underweight, but you still think you are fat? Do you obsess about being too heavy? Do you force yourself to regurgitate food?
If not, you are most likely not anorexic. We cannot comment on the "too nervous to eat" issue, because you did not mention how long you have been that way, how much you are able to eat, what you are "nervous" about, and a variety of other factors.
However, if you feel you are unable to eat normally, we suggest speaking with a therapist who can help you sort out the reasons. Check with your local Mental Health Association for referrals, or look online for those in your area who work with eating disorders. DON'T just go to your family doctor and get some pills. That is not the answer.

- Overeaters Anonymous can work for some individuals, but not for others as the individual has to want to better themselves. Not eating enough or overeating can be psychological control over oneself because they cannot control other things in their life. Also, people who do not eat enough or too much should get a full physical from their doctor to be sure there is not another cause for their weight gain. If an individual is religious and believes in Jesus they can gain strength from that to help them stop overeating, but, if that individual is not buying religion or, they feel the control is taken away from them it may not work, but it's worth a good try.

I am really underweight through anorexia is there any way you can help me gain weight?
I have the exact same problem as you. I am a 16 year old male and I weigh 8stone when I should weigh about 10stone. I do not eat much as I am scared of getting fat. I see myself as having a huge belly and big fat legs when I look in the mirror but everyone always tells me I am way too skinny. I dont know what to do about it as I see myself as fat but I can see my ribs and my bones stick out. I am trying my best not to get any skinner but it's just keeps getting worse.
AnswerYes, eat more and you will gain weight. AnswerThe answer above isn't very thorough. DON'T eat a lot. Because of starving yourself, you can't digest a lot a time and if you force it down, that's not good. Here is what you really should do: Go to a doctor, tell him/her your anorexic story, and ask them for advice. They will give it to you.Hi, try eating lots of carbohydrates such as potatoes,rice,pasta and a lot of meat
Hope that helped :)
You can become belimec if you induce vomiting frequently to allow yourself to eat high calorie foods. This is done to control your weight. If you want to control your weight you should eat low calorie foods like fruits and vegetables. Bulemia can cause damage to your esophagus due to stomach acid damaging the lining of your esophagus.
Bulemia must be stopped immediately because it is a sign that you are eating foods that are too high in calories.
Is Satiation the sensation of feeling hunger?
No, it's actually the opposite. Satiation is defined as "to satisfy (an appetite or desire) fully" by the free online dictionary.
What type of treatment is useful for those recovering from any eating disorder?
To start boosting their self-esteem, gradually building up to eating. Once they are eating at least a litte, it will slowly start building up to actual meals. But you can't pressure or force them to eat and keep it down. You must keep being supportive and building up their self-esteem to make them see that they are amazing just the way they are. But in the end, if it does not work out, I would say a rehab center would do just the trick :) Positive words and attitude will work amazingly.
Not really. Laxatives are very dangerous - they can even be fatal - and should seldom, if ever, be used. All they do is clear out the digestive track and eliminate food and waste matter from the body. They do not actually cause any real weight loss.
How do you get anorexic people to eat?
You cannoy really force a person with anorexia to eat. It may be possible to get them to eat a little (as the disorder would allow them to), but real food consumption can only really be obtained through treatment and professional / medical help.
