Childhood anorexia? Any experiences? Please help!

[Iamshy]

Have been to see my dd who is nearly 10 headteacher today who with the CAHMS team have questioned whether my dd has anorexia. I'm in bits at the moment, I know with the team that will be behind us, she will get the help she needs. Anybody know anything about it and how we can help her. Please help.

I am bumping this for you. I am sorry to hear about your dd, I have no experience of aneroxia, But, I couldn't ignore your post and not offer my best wishes and prayers for the future for you, your dd and your family

I do hope she gets the help she needs. How worrying for you.
My DD2 aged 9 is quite "well built". I'm not at all worried - she is very similar build to DS at the same age and he is now 6ft 3inches tall without an ounce of spare fat.
A couple of the girls in DD2's class were teasing her last year , calling her "Fat", and she wouldn't wear shorts all through the summer . I remember thinking at the time that this is how young girls get really hung up about their weight.
I'm so sorry your DD is going through this - it could so easily have been my beautiful, sensitive DD2.
My very best wishes to you both.

Have just come back to this as have been in work all day so has taken my mind off the situation for a little while. Thank you very much for your support, really need it at the moment.
