writes:I found it quite hard to write this question which indicates to me there IS a problem. Still i'm not certain. i am a size 10 (in England) and i feel i could have an eating disorder. I do fear gaining weight and hate looking at photos of me because i just think 'do i actually look that disgusting?'I have in the past purposely made myself be sick and not eaten for periods of time but the confusion comes from a bad situation going on in my life right now that happened on the 13th of August (i drunkly slept with someone and now have thought only about it and its repercussions since... literally i think about it sooo much i don't realise i am and i can't draw a line between the last time i thought about it and the current thought of it going through my mind...it's a constant) and i find it occupies my time to think about being hungry rather than that! It can't be normal... what's wrong, do i want attention? i don't think it's that. I'm so confussed.

 Original poster:
They will actually help you in other ways besides making you gain weight. I can't really say what they are because I'm not a specialist, but those people know what they're doing and they will help you overcome this.
Please, don't hesitate on going. Although you can overcome this by yourself, it's extremely hard and psychologically tiring. IT's better to have someone who has dealt with this along with the help of your family and friends.
Show your parents the websites I gave you if they have no idea what to do. This problem needs to be solved by a specialist and making you gain weight is not the solution. Tell them with evidence.

Harree is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you, it's extreamly hard to hear that and except it... and believe it! It makes perfect sense it's just so hard to except however i need to understand it and resolve it i guess even though i'm not thin at all. I'm not like obese agian im size 10... i am just worried that if i tell some one they will make me put on weight just cause they've dignosed it as an eating disorder when really i don't think i need to gain weight...

It sounds to me that you have anorexia. Here's a website that can confirm it, http://www.mamashealth.com/anorexia.asp
This is a real desease that if left untreated will cause terrible consequences on you, possibly death.
So please, discuss this with you family. The first step of fighting something like this is recognizing something is wrong, and you have done that big step.
This is not your fault. I really don't think you even want attention. It's just things that... that happen. With how society dictate us how females should look like now and how many people are falling for that... it's not so surprising finding people with your problem.
Check this website for further help about your problem:
http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/Eating_Disorders/self_help_3.asp
They will help you a little on how to overcome this problem. But I first recommend you talking to your parents and show them the website I gave you that gives you the symptoms for anorexia. This will convince them to help you out.
Please, take action. This is a problem that will grab your health and shorten your life span if you don't do anything quickly. You have been wise for having recognized something wrong, so be wise now and take action.
Good luck.
