im 15 and for about 2 years i have hated eating. The thought of food just makes me want to cry ! everyone says that you need to eat but i just can't bring myself round to eating and when i do eat i get so depressed. Does anyone feel the same? Can anyone give me some advice on what i should do ?

I really can not understand it myself...I LOVE FOOD! (I think it shows! HAHA! whatever....)
But do you mean that eating just gives you no pleasure? you don't get anything from tastey flavours?
Or is it issues with health and weight that makes you not want to eat?

It's both to be honest. Eating bores me and I'm scared of gettin fat. I never used to be botherd about my weight but since my 'friend' brought attention to my weight it made me think about a few things and since then i never really wanted to eat.

That's really terrible....If it never worried you before, try to go back to that! I mean, don't ignore it completely, having a well balnced diet is important, but don't let it dawn on you too much.
for some people it's the only thing they can think about and it's really terrible, it's no good for your head!
I don't really know what advice I can give, but it isn't healthy for yor to think about it too much. food is important, as long as your not snacking or binge eating, please eat!
(I cannot comprehent how food could be boring...maybe you should start eating more interesting food! buy some cook books to get ideas...lol...
or go out to a different style restaurant to what you normally eat and try something new...be inspired!!)

thanks, i'll try, But i don't think it will work because i dont want to eat. In a way, i know its weird, but im scared of eating. i might try some different foods to see if it makes me want to eat. I am also allergic to LOTS of foods so its quite difficult finding food i can eat.

perhaps you should see a gp incase, becuase these sort of things can cause more serious problems
but good luck with trying new foods

Wouldn't it be ironic to die in your living room?

this is sort of the early stages of anorexia. I think you should talk to a doctor to get some proper guidance but whether you like it or not, get depressed or not you should eat at least 3 meals a day. You would have to force yourself to do so just so you remain healthy.

I went through 2-3 months of hating food, having a snack as my 1 main meal a day and i have to say though it appeared food depressed me, it was really not having food that depressed me. Now i love my food, cant imagine hating it again.

anorexic ? i don't think so. Thats like a really serious problem and i probab;y dont have it, I have a friend who is bulimic and i dont think that i have an ED.

I have heard that if you eat food, it can make you fat, or give you energy or something, i can't remember... i know it has some kind of purpose though...

*tallie*

you may not have a proper eating disorder but if you carry on the way you are you will do. If it was only for a couple of weeks then i would say get over it but 2 years is quite a long time to go hating food and being depressed about it. And it could so easily turn into a serious problem.

I don't feel like i can talk to anyone in my family though. If i were to go and see my GP i would have to ask mum to make an appointment for me so she would fin dout an di dont want to upset her. I can't make an appointment of my own because i live to far away from my doctors to get there myself.
I'm scared my friends will not believe me if i told them how i felt, they might think i'm jsut saying it for attention. What should i do if i can't talk to my friends, family or GP ?

i love eating specially chocolates and i would never be able to understand but you have to see a counselor or something like that..

I'm to scared. If my family finds out they will be disappointed and i don't know how to talk to a counciller. I know thers one at school but they will tell my mum, i cant trust anyone.
