hey,

i'm 15 and i've noticed that i'm getting really skinny. More like scaryly skinny. I've been losing weight rapidly but have also lost my appitite and am not eating as much and missing out dinner? Is this anorexia? it's been happenin for a few months now and I don't want to go and see a doctor i know incase if my parents find out so i was also wonderin if anyone else knew of any other places i could go?

thanks

Rennerz

hiya. not too sure what this may be coz it could also be stress related, as you say that you are 15 so it might be stress from either upcoming exams or a change.

anyhow i think you should go see your doctor, its confidential and they will only ever tell your parents if they think its really serious, but they normally just advise you to tell your parents. also your doctor already knows your medical history, and even your family medical history, so i think it would be better.

Anyhow whatever you choose to do, i wish you luck xx

anorexia nervosa is basicaly affects you mentaly first, so its probably not that. if you have lost your appitite i suggest that you get expert advice from your doctor. why would your parents mind if you lost your appitite? surely thats not your fault?
