People recover from eating disorders everyday- so yes it's totally within your power. However, I think it would help to talk to a counselor about it or at the very least people who have been through it (neither of which I am).  I'm assuming it's as pleasant to overcome as severe depression, which I have had experience with. For me it took lots of help, support, and hard work. I saw a counselor for over a year, was on medication for 8 months to help regulate me back to normal, and had lots of support from family and friends. Eating disorders, from what I read, are usually tied back to a dysfunctional idea of what you look like (aka, you're not skinny enough, you don't have enough muscles, you're not that fat, etc.). I don't know what it will take to get over this- but keep in mind that you can only get better once this cycle ends. And if it doesn't- it could kill you. There's no sugar coating it. Anorexia and bulimia are life threatening and even when only slightly employed have a severe effect on your health. (Aka only eating one meal a day will effect your metabolism, energy, and nutrient levels enough to cause your body harm.)

Your school might have a teen hotline you can call to talk to if you want to talk to peers. This site also has people to talk to who are either currently dealing with eating disorders and people who have overcome it. The school counselors, in my experience, stink. But you never know, it might be worth talking to especially if you want support from your parents. Your doctor would also give you good information on where you can go and how you can recover. He/She would also be able to refer you to a counselor who will help you deal with any emotional or psychiatric causes that might be influencing this.

Hi ducky406

If you have an eating disorder that is damaging your stomach/intestines the only way to reverse it is to overcome your disorder. Even that, depending on how much damage is done might not be enough. (For example it isn't unheard of for someone who suffers from Bulimia to have a problem with heart burn.) If you have stopped doing whatever caused the problem, talk to your dr again. You may need a upper GI done to see if there was any permanent damage done.

I suggest you seek psychiatric help if you are still battling this disorder. An eating disorder is life threatening and it may help you talk to other people who have similar problems. (There is a forum on this site for eating disorders).

Hi ducky406

[ducky406]

Have your parents take you to the hospital. If the pain is preventing you from sleeping its important to have it seen by a dr.

Your temperature should be 37C or 98.6F. It really is probably nothing more than period cramps or maybe just gas and a bad poo coming on because of something you ate. No worries for now. Although if on the off chance you're fever is above 38C or 102F you need to tell a parent, take a paracetamol or acetaminophen (same thing), and then call dr. If it gets any higher than that you need to go to the ER.

[bb108]

Thank you but I don't know if it is abdominal pain or some thing else or its time for period I do Have periods but it not on yet and what shouldl my temputure be

[ducky406]

Period cramps are between the belly button and the vagina usually just above the hip line (at least for me). They can be anywhere form annoying to excruciatingly painful and nauseating. If you're on your period and that's where it's cramping it's probably from the period. If you're not on it atm, you very well could be starting it soon. Some good advice is to always keep a tampon or pad with you at all times. I used to have one in my backpack, sports bag, and locker when I was in school. The first year you have your period it could be pretty irregular so you'll be thankful if you're caught off guard. Also even if you never need one of these hidden treasures there's a good chance a friend will at some point or another. Also if you're ever caught off guard and don't want to/can't pay for a pad out of a machine, a school nurse will always have a pad free for you.

Now on the off chance your cramping is somewhere else there is a possibility it could be related to a food intolerance (like lactose intolerance), constipation, or even food poisoning. If you aren't on your period I would suggest checking your temperature. If you get a fever, let a parent know.
