Is it normal or is it anorexia?

Recently, my family have been rather suspicious of my change in eating habits.

I refuse to eat unless it is a certain time of day (a ten minute window between 12:40 and 12:50, and another between 6:00 and 6:10 pm.

i refuse to eat unless i am in a certain mood. i only eat when happy, which is a problem as i suffer from depression.

i only eat when completely alone. if anybody, even family, is or are around me, i refuse the meal.

Am i just fussy or am i anorexic?

    Ugh, people can be so mean.

    You are displaying signs of OCD and when that surrounds food it can often lead to anorexia.

    I can understand what you mean-I used to have quirks about food, like having to chop things up into tiny portions or drinking hot water with oxo in it to fill myself up...anyways-your eating habits sounds like you are subconciously/consciously trying to give excuses for not eating.
    I sought out help and have now thankfully gotten over my quirks as I was worried they could develop; I still have a fear of getting fat, but I've accepted now that you only live once and I didn't want to ruin that by denying myself something I wanted.

    Please seek help, just as a precaution, these things can start off small.
    Good luck, and if you need any advice, just ask :)

    I'd talk to a therapist.

    I'm pretty much the same way. My family thinks I'm being antisocial, but if we'd get together for something other than food, I wouldn't be.

    Wow, people on here are harsh. It sounds to me like you do have a serious issue. Whether or not it is anorexia or OCD or both is hard to say. Either way, please seek help before you get any worse.

    I'm not sure wether this is anorexia, but I would say it is some kind of eating disorder. I would see a doctor and try and get some help if I was you, it can't be good for you.

    Ignore the people on here telling you that you are annoying or whatever, what you have is a health problem, it's like telling someone they are annoying for having cancer. It's not your fault and you can get over this :)

    I'm the same way when it comes to eating around people. If there's anyone around except for the people that live with me, i completely shut down and don't eat. I don't like eating at school, i don't feel comfortable eating in restaurants, or at barbecues or birthday parties. This is why i don't go on dates. If i were to go on a date right now, i'd say "Let's just get some milkshakes and go to the mall."
    However, i love eating when i'm at home.

    youre anorexic. i once saw a girl she ate an apple a day and tried to cut it into complicated shapes so it would be harder for her to eat, and nobody was allowed watching her. its normal if ur anorexic so ur normal but you're anorexic.

    I hope you get better. This is not good or healthy or happy by any means. Eating will make you happy!

    Stop being so fussy about where and when and how you feel before eating. Geez you must be losing a lot of weight. You should just eat more

    That's not anorexia, but rather you being a dumbass.

    Anorexia is where it's psychological and you're afraid of being fat or overweight, so you starve yourself.
