Support needed !

I've previously posted , but as my anxiety disorder is so severe I can not help myself but seek for any type of support & I'm so sorry too anyone who has been diagnosed and my wishes are with you all , I stand with each of you , but , I have an eating disorder due too a fear of choking , it's slowly getting better , sometimes I can handle solid foods , sometimes I can't etc... But along with that came aches and pains , they're not all the time but they're quite often & it's in my ribs and my back and my shoulders , but my family have said that due too the fact I lost weight so fast because of my eating fears , The pains are just my body trying to normalise the weight loss & also because I'm not eating enough nutrients , for somewhat I agree , but then my anxiety starts making me google things and I get my fear back all over again :( , I hate living this way and it's so scary because I have so much life ahead of me and I just want too get better . never the less , I feel I'll most the time , not all the time sometimes ... but it's like not too sick a little sick and I feel very tired again when I eat littler amounts of food which in my mind is like "it's because of my eating" but then my anxiety makes me google these things and I get so scared . I'm only 17 and my girlfriend and my sisters , my mom all tell me I need too stop googling things and relax , but I can't relax when it's all I think about . I had blood tests & they came back fine , but I still need some reassurance from somebody who knows well :( so please if anybody can help me just with maybe a little info I'd be so grateful :) :( , lucy x

  • Hello Lucy. You decided to consult a bunch of random non-medical folks to help with your multiple issues.  I have been in a similar position to you, not with the eating disorder but aches, pains etc. My advice? Stop looking for problems you don't have. Switch off your internet access, stop taking unnecessary medications & get out more. I would guess that the folks you know have heard it all by now so get out by yourself. The thing that worked best for me was to get an electric bicycle. I call it cheating but it enables me to get out & about without wearing me out! Any bike will do, just get on it & head for somewhere nice. Today I just randomly took some tracks I had never found before & eventually came to a place I recognised. Do this, it will not only improve your physical & mental well-being but it will give you something to talk about other than the same old same old. When you gain more confidence & ability, go out on a low-level organised ride out. Trust me, it works. 

  • Hey Brian , Thankyou so much I really appreciate this reply ! I guess I had no idea what too do but come here , I need more people like you who aren't going too exactly "bs" too me about things they don't really know . My mom calls me Google's best friend , I hate google though , although it's an amazing and helpful place it's also the darkest place too , Just a lil reassauramce gets me through This tho , if you would like too keep in touch on your journeys I'll be more than happy to drop you a message and update you also , Thankyou :) 

  • Thanks Lucy. Do bear in mind that we all need a helping hand sometimes & the folks who say this isn't so are either mistaken or fooling themselves IMO. I don't know how reliable this forum is for keeping in touch & I doubt it allows emails or tel numbers but you could try posting them & I will respond. Otherwise look on FB. Brian, Maidenhead. Good night. 

  • Goodnight too you too! I sent you a friend request if you accept I can message you privately I'll send a number and you can text time via WhatsApp if u like! Thankyou and stay safe :)
