*update*
i refused to eat for a day and a half.. But I have slowly started to eat something.. But still can't eat much and am not motivated to eat.
I now weigh 91 lbs.



I have just been hospitalized for a month for depression. I've been losing weight... But I always refuse to eat, and am never hungry. When I do eat, I eat very little. I don't make myself throw up though. I feel fat... But ppl tell me that i'm not. I'm 5'1, and 94 lbs....

Do I have an eating disorder on top of depression? My psychiatrist suggested that.. But he's not sure.. Cuz I didn't tell him what I mentioned above.


I'm confused and scared.

It can be.. In doctors we should trust, because they know it better.
How are you feeling now?

My Thoughs..
Well, from the information in which you provided, you might have a eating disorder. What causes you to think your fat? Hun, your only 94 lbs. A person thats 5'1 should be at least 105 lbs. Thats an average weight. At 5'0 - you should weigh 100 lbs, every inch after that you should be 5 lbs more weight.
5'1-105
5'2-110
5'3-115
5'4-120
5'5-125
and so on..
I dont know what would cause you to think your fat but ma, your not. Always think posative. You have a life to live ahead of you. You dont want to be regreatful for the rest of your years, do you? You need to think of positive actions? Make goals for your self, out of this world and achieve them, it will deff. Make you feel better.Depression dosent do anything but let the devil control you. Its showing him that you dont care what happens, you just plan to be down. Come on ma, cheer up. I hope that with my words of expression, you cheer up and decide to get your act togeather and make progress. At any time feel free to im me. I also have aim, yahoo, msn. Let me know what I can do to help you. I am here for you always n forever. Just let me know what you need.
