<p>No, I'm not just talking about the "regular" feel of your spine. I mean I can feel my freaking crevices of each vertebrae.</p>
<p>My parents think I am undernourished. I went from 150 lbs to 115 (male) in junior year, and I am getting even skinnier (around 5 11 right now...)</p>
<p>God, I feel so skinny. I try to eat, but every time I eat, I feel I need to take a dump. Like even if it is a banana, I feel that I have to poo....=/</p>
<p>I know this isn't a health forum, but I guess it is due to severe anxiety and now that high school is starting again (senior year) in a week, I feel that I will get even skinnier.,,</p>
<p>Do you guys have any advice on how to overcome anxiety? =/</p>
<p>I would suggest to see your doctor to be honest. I’m sure that the doctor would be able to come up with some solutions to your problem. However, I would recommend that you do more relaxing activities. Maybe you could try sleeping more or doing yoga. Sometimes just playing a sport for a half hour takes away stress. I would suggest you take around an hour or so a day to do something a little more relaxing. Hopefully you are able to return to your normal self!:)</p>
<p>thats normal around here. CCers are always skinny, im guessing the average bmi of a CCer is like 16-17. (thankfully i dont fall into that range)</p>
<p>Thats a really dramatic drop- that could be the sign of something dangerous. Pls make an appointment with your doctor- don’t hope its nothing. Okay, good luck, be healthy.</p>
<p>“Like even if it is a banana, I feel that I have to poo…=/”</p>
<p>I’m so sorry but that made me LOL so ****in hard. hahahaha.</p>
<p>But seriously, pooing isn’t that bad. Just eat and then poo right afterward if you need to. You need to be more nourished than that. 115 at 5’11" is pretty bad. The average guy at my height of 5’9" (and in shape) is 140+. Doctor’s appointment isn’t necessary unless you can’t gain weight on your own.</p>
<p>Whoa, was that drop in weight due to dieting and exercise? Or did the pounds just drop like that without you doing anything? </p>
<p>I wouldn’t be too worried, but still, get to a doctor as soon as possible and get a checkup. You should make sure you get plenty of sleep each night (at least 6-7 hours), try to get at least half an hour of exercise a day (maybe a jog, maybe a walk), and try to avoid junk food. </p>
<p>I was depressed a little during that time period</p>
<p>I think I started binging, except it wasn’t by throwing up…it was on the other end…</p>
<p>lets just say that my eating quantity was less than my poo-ing quantity. I used to be around 120-125 lbs before the 150 lbs, but I got fat and became 150. Sure 150 might look good, but this was pure fat…I started doing sports, like running for xc, but pple made fun of me for being slow, and idk…stuff just happened</p>
<p>This made me lol so hard! Hey, my BMI is like 24! :D</p>
<p>@coolman1234: The first thing that I would do is see a doctor. And soon, like next 2 days soon. I dropped 15 pounds 2 summers back (health issue), and had to see 4 different doctors over 1.5 weeks to finally find somebody who correctly diagnosed & prescribed medicine. Go to a doctor quick, and get more opinions if they give you a BS answer. </p>
<p>I would excercise for 1 hour a day (or if you have a busy schedule, 30 minutes is great). Play recreation-level sports, lift weights, or get a personal trainer for fitness. This way, people shouldn’t (foolishly) ridicule you. </p>
<p>As far as defecating so much, perhaps it was from such an unhealthy diet that your body is detoxing itself? I mean that may be the case, but I really am not that sure. When you got up to 150, did you eat junk food and sweets all day, because I’m guessing if it was “pure fat,” then you had a pretty bad diet. Sleep plenty, eat right, and see a doctor!</p>
<p>Sorry you went through that, best wishes! :)</p>
<p>aww its okay, but you do have an anxiety problem. you should check this stuff out at the doc. and throwing up, poo-ing indicates you’re depressed or something…go eat nutella, i heard it calms you and makes you feel good.</p>
<p>Considering that anxiety is the reason you’re underweight, I would address anxiety first. Sure, you could change your diet a bit, but reducing anxiety would be much more beneficial. Try a few methods of relaxation. Yoga (cheesy, I know), breathing exercises, listening to music, drawing, going on a walk, writing in a journal, etc. Just something to get your mind off of whatever you’re anxious about. Also, I’d try to address what exactly you’re anxious about. Getting good grades? Getting into a college? Maybe thinking out each scenario and finding the positives may help you relieve stress. If all else fails, see a doctor/psychologist.</p>
<p>^^I agree, you should definitely take care of anxiety issues. You sound to be worried about school, and sports helps me take my mind off of school work. You should find you “thing” that you enjoy that is “stress-free.” Also, 150 lbs does not seem “fat” for a 5’ 11’ guy, did you know your body fat %? It sounds like anxiety pushed you to over-eating and/or a bad diet. I’m barely 5’ 10" and I weigh 170 lbs, just to let you know. I’m not fat, but rather fairly skinny.</p>
<p>my anxiety issues= friends and pple liking me. i don’t feel popular and i feel pple treat me like left over entertainment. its not that my social skills suck, i have no idea what it is actually</p>
<p>also, i just turned 5 11 in junior year. i was like 5 7, 5 6 in frosh-soph year when i was 150 lbs and you could se emy thighs bulging and i had like a triple chin…srsly arghh</p>
<p>That’s strange, because I was 150 lbs when I was 5’ 7" and i was skinny, but atheltically msucular (idk if that’s a true phrase, but it is now! lol).</p>
<p>With the insecurity issues, don’t try hard. Just have a good core of like 5 friends, and you’re set. If you have family, hang with them. I wish you the best of luck :), and do not take anti-depressants if doctors/parents push you to. I think that they are not good overall for you.</p>
<p>You should start drinking liquid dietary supplements. and not one of those high calorie/vitamin drinks you can get at the grocery store. I’m talking about the ones you get from the drugstore, like nutridrink and resource. you might need a prescription though, but they are not hard to get. They contain everything your body needs, I lived on those for 7 months (meaning I had NOTHING else to eat during that time, not a single gum).</p>
<p>But stay away from the rasberry flavored.</p>
<p>Being malnurished contributes to feeling stresseded out, and makes everything harder to deal with.</p>
<p>I agree, don’t try so hard. You could also look at it like you’ll be in college in about a year and will meet an entirely new (and hopefully more mature) group of friends. I guess that could alleviate (sp?) some stress. Sometimes I go what you’re going through, but you always have to remember they’re not worth it. No one is worth being stressed about, just laugh it off. Hold your head up high and don’t let them get you down (cliche but very true).</p>
