I got out of the hospital Monday. I was hospitalzied for suicidial idealzation and I also stabbed myself with a razor after 2 weeks in treatment I was let go. My medicine makes me eat an enormous amount I can't control my cravings for food and I can't stop eating when I should be. I want to starve myself so badly so I can be skinny I see these Celeberitys on TV and I say to myself gosh they look so skinny. I want to be that skinny and the way I'm eating now I'm gonna be fat. I don't want to go back to the hospital and have a whole bunch of new problems but I want to be skinny even more what should I do?

don't do that. i think your weight shouldn't be your biggest concern right now. you could also try switching medications, like courtnee said.

Whatever you do, please do not starve yourself. If the medication causes you to put on some weight worry about taking it off later. And when you do take it off, please do it in a way that is safe and healthy. Last year I put on a lot of weight. I reached 200 pounds. Since I am 6 feet tall, even at 200 pounds I wasn't exactly huge, but I was oveweight. Since the start of this year I have been watching what I eat and getting some exercise and I am down to 185. My ideal weight should be between 170 and 180, so I am getting there. My point is that there are ways to lose weight which are much safer and healthier than starving yourself.

I am glad first of all to know that you are still with us. We were worried abt you.

I don't know if you admitted yourself or if someone had you admitted, but that is the first step to getting help. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR, NOT US, REGARDING YOUR MEDICATIONS, THE SIDE EFFECTS AND ANY OTHER MENTAL, PHYSICAL ISSUES/QUESTIONS. They are the professionals. Just tell them the truth and be honest abt how you feel abt the weight gain and so forth.

And for advice I would do exactly what Irene said.

dawsongirl · 08-04-2006, 09:07 PM

A lot of anitdepressants, etc. mess with your stomach, especially SSRI's, because you also have some seratonin in your stomach (or so my doctor told me anyway). So switching meds may be the answer.

And not looking to celebs for weight. Those pics are so airbrushed it's ridiculous.

I don't know what else to add, I agree with everyone else. Just get better, Tootie, and don't hurt yourself

Tootie · 08-04-2006, 10:04 PM

thanks for the advice

Hollow · 08-04-2006, 10:16 PM

if you think starving yourself will end up making you happier (and i'm not scolding you, just informing you), you know nothing about what it really does. the effects of developing an eating disorder would send you MUCH deeper into your depression. it's a good thing that you're trying to recover from all this; just don't think that hurting yourself in the process will help at all.
