Suffering with an eating disorder that young can really mess you up both physiologically and psychologically.

I had an eating disorder in the 3rd grade and the 8th grade. It was really bad in the 3rd grade. At first I had a fear of throwing up and I felt like I was sick one day so I didn't eat lunch. Then I didn't eat everyday at lunch and it continued. Eventually I couldn't eat because I would feel so sick trying to. My parents took me to the hospital because I said my stomach was constantly hurting (it was) but they eventually dismissed me. I later had dropped 20 pounds and my mom thought it was because of my stomach hurting. I later somehow started eating again on my own. The same thing happened to me in 8th grade but it only lasted about 2-3 months tops but my uncle had visibly noticed I had lost weight and was skinny.
Now I'm at a place where I go to dark thoughts with my weight and I still have trouble accepting the way I look because of my friends and sometimes the way my dad talks to me (always claims I can lose a couple pounds, Never seems satisfied with me) but I don't have the guts to throw up food or starve myself anymore.
