Hi so I have been skipping meals a lot, I sometimes feel like I don’t deserve or need to eat then for a while I’ll eat agin then stop eating. I starved myself as a kid sometimes and it obviously just got worse. Pls don’t tell me I am to young to have this problem because I am 13.

Hello, Have talk about this issue with your parents? What triggers you to think you do not need to eat?

@lilballofstress17 - definitely won't say you're too young - these types of things can happen to people at any age. But it is definitely concerning to hear you're skipping meals, and especially for reasons like deciding you don't deserve or need to eat. Sometimes it can help to challenge those thoughts by reframing as though you're thinking about someone else. If you think you don't deserve to eat the meal, why don't you deserve to? If someone you loved said they didn't deserve to eat for that reason, would you still agree?
