As for the past decade almost I have had trouble with the way I look. I suppose in the past year it has gotten worse. I don't really have the side effects of anorexia, mainly the one is I still get my period. My BMI is 14 and doctors, families and my counselors all seem to think I"m in the danger zone. They want me to seek treatment at a hospital and two weeks ago, my doctor had a freak out over me losing more weight and sent me to the ER. However, I am not really anorexic because I still get my periods. How can I tell everyone I'm fine when they don't believe me? Yes, I do restrict my eating, yes I weight myself three times a day, and yes, I see a giant lump of nobody when i look at myself. However, I get my periods. I am 27 and I buy my clothes in a size 12 in the girls department, but that doesn't mean I'm anorexic...I have no idea. Everyone says yes, but the the main focus i have is the period. Help me. I need real answers from real women. Thank you!

There are a lot of other signs of anorexia, and I think that maybe relying on the fact that you still get your periods could be
