Okay yeah so basically my whole family thinks I'm anorexic, I mean its not like I stop eating or anything like that. I mean.. I feel guilty and all after eating a lot, and I try like every fad diet out there at 15, and it feels like all I think about is my weight. I also feel depressed all time, alone. There's seriously no one to talk to in my family. My mom passed when I was six and my dad has a girlfriend who he's spends every second with. So do you think that I need to go to therapy or something? Or is this just another one of those teenage phases.
(Below are my "symptoms") <Measurements-- 5,5 130 pounds.>
-Feeling fat all the time
- After eating too much I feel guilty
- Trying every fad diet out there
- Feeling depressed and alone
-Have had thoughts about how it would be if I'm not.. here
-Checking the amounts of fat,calories etc.. in each food that I eat and setting limits

What do you call eating too much?
When you eat can you eat a full meal without feeling sick?
Are you losing weight? Getting weak?
Do you purposely skip meals?
You definitely are not fat at 5'5" and 130

Whatever feels too much for me I guess. If I eat more than I think I should I feel bad.
Yeah I can eat a full meal without being sick
I've lost 2 pounds. And I'm tired all the time
If I try to skip meals my fam. Will notice and they'll force me to eat..

I'm not getting the impression that you're annorexic from what you're writing. But therapy might not be a bad idea anyway. It sounds like you're having some other problems and sometimes its just nice to have someone to talk to that you know you can trust and that can help you through things. A therapist might be able to help you with your depression and help you understand your eating habits better.

Have to spread the rep
I don't think she IS either but if she is obsessed with weight and eating she could be on her way.

That's true. But hopefullyif she gets help now she won't get to that point.
