13 and bulimic?

Question

Okay so I’m 13, and I don’t know what’s going on. I have really bad mood swings all the time, I get anxious a lot, and I think I’m really fat. My bmi is only just above underweight, but my weight fluctuates a lot of the time. I’ve tried to make myself sick and failed 4 times, and my parents stop me from going into the bathroom after dinner Beacuse they thought I was making myself sick. My sister suffers from BDD. I don’t like posting pictures online and I have to wear loads of makeup to make my face not look fat. Someone help is this an eating disorder?? What should I do my parents don’t believe in mental illness.

Answer

it's not an actual eating disorder yet but if you let it go any further it will be. 
At your age I thought Bulimia was a GREAT idea. so I tried it. I puked 3 times a day everyday in the shower. I even starved myself so eventually I was just dry-heaving. it was horrible and it made me lose over 20 pounds in less than a month. I couldn't move or do anything so all I did was cry. 
I quit puking but to stay my new terrifying weight I ALSO became Anorexic. I ate once a day... one serving. And I worked out so hard because I was in highschool gym class. 
it got to the point that I passed out because I hadn't eaten enough & it was so bad they thought I had a seizure so I was immediately rushed to my doctor.
my hair thinned and fell out. and my period completely stopped for almost 2 whole months.
it was f*cking miserable and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
BUT GUESS WHAT. An entire 4 YEARS later I'm still suffering. it goes away and then comes righhhtttt back. I'd give ANYTHING to stop my 13 year old self from puking that first time. Because I am going to have this for the rest of my life.
so just a word of advice: Don't. it really isn't worth it. you will suffer. you will wish you were dead...and if it gets too bad, you will be.
keep your head up, you're beautiful.

Answer

No because I’ve met so many girls your age who have felt the same way and I hate to use these words but I can’t think of anything else that quite puts it the way I’m trying to but maybe it’s just a phase because those girls who felt that way are perfectly fine now but if you do feel like throwing up maybe go talk to a school councillor or a teacher or someone. I am currently suffering with an eating disorder and I have been in and out of hospital and possibly going back in soon so I’m even if u just want to talk to someone about little things like how u feel mentally then definitely talk before anything worse happens
