My parents don't care about me at all and still claim to do so?

I'm 20 yrs old weigh 39kgs and 5.2ft tall. I don't like to eat anything. I've been skinny all the time. Both my parents are doctors. Other people do seem to care about me and when they tell it to them -What my parents answer is that she doesn't eat. That's it. I agree its my fault but i've told them 100 times i don't like to eat. I'm a medical student myself and i know its psychological and a form of anorexia and definitely not figure conscious one. After begging for hours my mom agreed to get my thyroid test done which was normal. But they don't care about me at all. I'm now living in hostel and getting weaker. All they say is start eating. Its so easy to say for her. Why does she not realize how difficult it is for me.

Your parents never had the feelings that you are having. They may think everyone gets hungry and has total control of their own bodies. I think they care about you. Often people tend to think people who can't eat properly are just looking for drama in their lives. Please do not misunderstand me anorexia is kind of new to the older people it never used to be an issue like it is now.
I think you had better seek help on your own.
If you were the parent what would you be doing for your adult child in this case? Best of Luck to you.

your parents do care for you. You need to see a head Dr. as this problem sounds like is in your head.

Sweetheart instead of worrying about what your parents are saying, it seems to me like you are in the right direction. You have already noticed that there is a serious problem. Take matters into your own hands and take care of the situation yourself. you do not need them to be there for you if they do not want to be there.

you obviously haven't been eating the right things try going out and having McDonald's french fries (the best) go grab an Ice Cream (who can resist ice cream) eat foods that taste good and you will want to eat. If you keep eating eggplant tofu paste, then I don't blame you for not wanting to eat.

I think your parents try to give that tough love......
But you are 20 years old souldnt u have your own insurance ?
you should take your self or your parents should take you to go check that out. Cuz that is not healthy at all fa real.

I had the same problem once. the good think is that you realize your problem. So, once you do that, cause first, you have to know it and believe it, visit a doctor, specialised in this problem. your parents may be doctors but they see you as their child and they cannot see you as a patient cause you are family! and nothing wrong can happen to their family.This is what all parents believe for thei own family. But if you go to another doctor, it will help you very much. I ddn;t have my parents by me, neither my friends.And, if you have frinds, talk to them, it is very helpfull. I had only one, and that person helped me a lot. Dont think of anyone or anything!It is your life alone. Good luck

you need to start eating don't you want to live, have a boyfriend have children have a life i don't care you don't like food but you are to young to throw your life away you wake up young lady or your parents are going to have to start preparing for your funeral because you have so much self-pity what could they possibly do for you what is the real problem i will email your parents myself if you want attention that bad or go to clinic get some help do something so your parents will be proud of you its good you a medical student

If you are a medical student, you are old enough to know you have a problem that needs to be helped with or without your parents support. You can't always count on the people who love you to fix your problem. I suffer from anorexia and my family simply didn't know what to do. This is not something parents are taught how to deal with. If you are in trouble, go see a psychologist and get yourself on the right track. Only then can you deal with the obvious problem you have with your parents.

hi!
you know your parents do care about you. You're just saying those idiotic words inside your head. If they don't care, they woudn't bother to tell you to eat, and eating is a habitual thing we do since birth, but they still reminded you to do so....now also that you're old enough to understand the consequences of not eating. don't worry about stuffs that they don't care and you feel alone and stuffs like that.. Just pray to God, and i will too for you.!! ^______^

hope my answer will help you

hey babe
sounds like you need to see a specialist doctor that deals with this specifically. Please dont rely on your parents to do tests. go and see a GP and get a referral for specialist dietician.

Even if it is psychological, you will still get help. My neice had the same problem and she looked awful. Now she looks rosy and healthy.

Good luck hun
