Eating disorder. Help.?
I've been suffering from anorexia for 2 years and a bit now and I begin to improve and then I drop back again it's an on going thing but lately I've been having the urges to just completely give up like I have no reason to live anymore because it's becoming too difficult. I've spoke to my parents but they think I'm just saying it and that it's phase I'm having and i'll come out of it soon. But each day I find myself thinking of ways to die and what would happen if I did because nothing is happening that I'm alive. Nothing good is happening, I just keep getting worse. I go to hospital to see people but they're of no help the pressure is too much. I find myself crying on my own because all I want is to be skinny and happy but I can't, I just feel so greedy whenever I eat something so I throw it up. I want to lose more weight but I just get threatened by the people I see at hospital if I've lost a slight amount when I go. I just want them all to leave me alone so I can do what I want. I'm not allowed to exercise because I've been told my pulse and blood pressure are too low... I just can't seem to keep going anymore. Someone please help me, I'd appreciate it so much!
But I'm not over weight! I'm 'Supposedly' Underweight but I really don't believe that at all!

Hi!
When one is overweight and knows this and wants to reduce then the pattern of eating you face is common. It is not uncommon to be depressed, not eat for periods of time and then go for binge eating. However, the feeling of wanting death points towards a higher level of depression. You need to consult a psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. Also depression would need to be treated side by side. Please consult your parents, maybe your school or college therapist and some else whom you can trust and who can talk to your parents. Please try and see a therapist as soon as possible. Just remember, though you feel as though you will not get over it, you will soon be able to follow a diet and exercise program that will help you eat and lose weight. Take care!
