Shaynups Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have this crazy obsession with wanting to gain weight.daily when I'm going about my business I tend to look at the body shape of every soul my eyes come in contact with I find it pretty sad really,but then I compare myself to them thinking that im worst off because I don't shape a certain way. I try to gain weight I haven't tried any supplements yet but I've been going to the gym that only makes me skinnier because I'm not getting enough calories daily its really frustrating because I really want to gain weight and it isn't happening I feel I'm going to go to some extreme measures soon ...help!!!

ILostHer Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Are you underweight? If yes your doctor/MH team could help. If you are underweight because of anorexia they will help you. Have you asked for help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaynups Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 No im not underweight my bmi is 23 which is quite good knowing the fact that im 5ft6 weighing 143lbs ...its just the mental aspect of it... when I look in the mirror I see skinny and I don't like it...

AppleCrumble Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Have you tried protein shakes or more protein in general? Do you feel it's an unhealthy obsession? Might be worth visiting your GP if you feel that it's the thoughts that are wrong, maybe CBT would help? Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyStrange Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Are you obsessed with gaining muscular bulk... or just weight in general? *Muscle dysmorphia aka bigorexia or reverse anorexia ~ causes depression. Constantly comparing ones physique to others. Obsession with gaining mass. A form of emotional psychosis, paranoia and feelings of inadequacy.

EmilyStrange Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Are you a compulsive binge eater? You eat and eat until you feel sick.. but don't purge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy2 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I find this hard to understand as someone who is over weight and totally hate my body it makes me want to cry when i look in the mirror i wont eat in public incase people say look at her so fat eating in public, it has ruined my sex life i wont be naked at all i constantly compare myself to thin people seeing them somehow as better and more attractive people, its a hard one, i guess i can relate to how you feel in an opposite way.
