I’m not anorexic, but I get made fun of for it all the time. What do I do?
I have a gluten intolerence and SEVERE stomach pains due to anxiety. I am getting much better now, but over the summer, it got to the point where I couldn’t leave the house for fear of collapsing of stomach pains, and for fear of throwing up (I’m an emetaphobe). Because of all this, I am EXTREMELY thin. I was malnourished for the past year, and I am now (brace yourselves) 74 pounds, and 5’1. There is this one girl in particular who always makes fun of me for being this way. She calls me anorexic, says she wants me to be admitted to a rehab center, and says she thinks she should give me an IV kit for my birthday. It’s beyond frustrating now. This has been going on the whole year, and I really need help. (My parents say that she is insecure and jealous becuase she is overweight).
Anyway, I need advice as to how to make her stop (she already hates me) and how to get my point across that I am not anorexic. I NEED HELP!
I totally understand! I have Celiac Disease also and spent many many y ears being SUPER skinny! My friends thought i was anorexic too bc since i had Celiac, I was always running to the bathroom after I ate! They thought I was going to throw up!
Well I will tell you this, if you are sticking to your gluten free diet, in time you will gain weight. If you are in a normal BMI, I wouldnt worry!! Trust me I have gained 20 lbs since going GF after being diagnosed!!
There is really nothing else you can do except tell her the truth. Maybe she just doesnt get it. maybe she’s just expressing her anger towards you for her own insecurities and issues. Maybe she has her own issues with food? Maybe she’s anorexic herself and hoping you are so she can have someone to latch on to? I m just throwing out suggestions!!
If you are seriously concerned, please speak with somone in your life, clergy, school counselor, another friend, etc. You ar enot alone and you should not be harassed or intimidated.
I hope it works out!
Best of luck,
Amy Chairperson of local celiac support group
