Is it normal to have disorders but not feel like you have a problem?

6 Comments

I'm a girl who for a couple years has lived with different disorders, but for some reason, I can't accept it or believe I actually have a problem. It never feels like an actual problem to me. I make myself throw up, but because i'm not that obsessed with my weight and I don't do it all the time, I don't feel like i'm bulimic. I've cut myself before, but only a few times and it's not exactly an addiction, so I don't view myself as a cutter. I'm not sad about my problems and I don't identify myself with them, but I am secretive about them and hide it. Help me out with advice and suggestions.

    If you are hiding these things, then you have a problem. The fact that you don't see it as an issue is the strongest argument for getting help. Many people with disorders don't see them as a problem until the behavior becomes life-threatening. Please, seek professional help.

    A lot of people with mental disorders don't think they have a problem. In that sense, it's normal. The cutting, I would say as long as you aren't really hurting yourself you don't neccessarily need to change. Bulimia though is a serious problem that can lead to all kinds of complications down the road. not just bad teeth and throat problems but stuff like kidney and liver problems. Even if you're not obsessed with your weight, don't you think that's something you should get checked out?

    It sounds like you are in denial or underestimating the danger of the habbits you have seem to aquire. if you don't have a problem have you tried to stop cutting or making yourslef throw up, if you can they you don't have a problem if you can't then you do and you are addicted to them, cutting doesn't necessarly have to be bc of some extreme reason or feelling of pain some people cut simply bc they are bored.
