I have a 14 year old daughter.....normally she does not eat breakfast, and I don't know if she eats her school lunch, she does eat a normal amount of dinner.....in the past week i have noticed AFTER eating dinner she will go into the bathroom, lock the door, run the water in the sink, i have listened thru the bathroom door and hear sounds of spitting in the sink, which i fear she maybe THROWING UP......i first thought/hoped she was brushing her teeth, but would go in after shes done and her toothbrush is DRY.....in the past few months the family has noticed a weight drop......in our extended family no one has dealt with this.....i fear for her health......dont know how long its been going on, if it is going on......just need some insight on this matter......i have not talked to her just yet, but plan to soon.....just want to check some resources first.....PLEASE ANY INSIGHT WOULD GREAT......is my instinct correct?.........MAYBE someone has a similiar situation and can give me advice.

hmm...it sounds like it...consult a theripist or something, or check to see what type of therepy you can do

DO NOT PUNISH HER, i would flip if my mom ever did that& i'd prbly just do it more, and dont bust in on her in the bathroom, i would prbly freak out if my mom did that too

and dont pressure her to eat, thats horrible. it takes time.

see if you can get her in group therepy or something. :]

good luck

hiya hun.
i am sorry to say this but it sounds like your daughter has anorexia with bulimic tendencies.
this means that she doesnt eat a lot and whatever she does eat she throws up.
when you talk to her about whats going on you need to be very careful about how you handle it because it is a very sensative issue.
firstly i know its hard but you have to try not to be too emotional when you talk to her, but stress that you are worried.
she needs to know that you are not mad, but you are worried and you are here for her.
You need to try and find out the full ins and outs without it feeling like 20 questions.
but whatever way she reacts she will know in her heart of hearts that you are there for her and that you are just worried about her and that you dont mean it in a nasty way or anything you are just concerned.
are you and your daughter close? if so and you are wondering why she hasnt come to talk to you its probably because you are so close that she doesnt wanna dissappoint you and she doesnt wanna let you down, often its harder to talk to the people you are closest with.
if you need to chat about anything.
then you can email me.

i am sure i can talk to you, with her perspective as i am only 15 myself and i can share my own experiances with you.
good luck hun.

Why are you waiting to talk with her? You are her mother for goodness sake! You know what? Forget the "talking" at first. Take her in your arms and love her! Hold her, tell her you love her, tell her you want to be helpful to her for what ever reasons she may need. Just love her....

i would say that she is anorexic with purging.. i would talk to her right away.... it will get worse if you dont talk to her.. or get her help.. see my mom never knew about my eating disorder and i was 132 and i dropped to 97 really fast.... after i left there i was 79 lbs and i was not satisfied at that either so i wanted to go to 66 Lbs and than thought after that maybe lower ... i never reached 66 or anything b/c ppl took charge and cut in and made me get help,,,, i am still struggling today and i am 98.9 lbs and enterin a hospital in Kingston ont to try and get rid of it once and for all... but please talk to her and get her soe help...
thanks
