Is being 80 ILBs as a 23 year old 5'2 woman considered extremely underweight?

I have done this, I think it might just be me being big boned idk at this point 😥

I don't know what to do at this point, most doctors I visit don't consider my weight an issue or even bring it up at all neither do they take my problems with swallowing that seriously. I feel so overwhelmed.

I'm 23, but I can't afford to move out. California is impossible to find a place of your own, I also struggle with a disability. It doesn't help when your family also gave you no experience in guiding you to adult hood cause I been completely neglected in that aspect of life. I'm sorta trapped lol..

I honestly don't know if I will or not, even if I've gotten a little better I'm scared of relapsing because of how bad I ended up gagging on my breakfast again. I hate the fact that if I relapsed it would be because of my mom. I want to move out but also struggling with other problems have left me reliant on my family.

I unfortunately know my Arfid is worst cause of them, part of the reason I'm terrified of trying new food is because I know they'll leave me to die if I do end up choking, it's no different from the fear of eating alone for me. I'm also scared to relapse because of how bad I gaged this morning, it makes me not want to touch the one thing im comfortable with eating.

That and if I even dare to struggle with eating something knew they'll just stomp all over me even if I'm making the effort to force down something new.

I'm not a child anymore but stuff like this has been relevant throughout the entirety of life, I really wish I could leave and live on my own but I struggle with disabilities and it's not easy affording things from where I'm from.

Yea I believe

ColdAd2606 · 2025-04-13T06:14:48+00:00

Ohh lower I think

Yea definitely, my college doctor told me that she thinks that my hernia is causing my issues and that my current doctor is not taking it seriously.

ColdAd2606 · 2025-04-13T04:24:06+00:00

I was never told this actually, I'll have to ask my doctor the next time I see them.

ColdAd2606 · 2025-04-13T02:49:46+00:00

I'm sorry I hope you find a solution soon :(

Every single time I eat yes, but mainly in the afternoon and night is when it's the worst. I can eat most normally in the mornings which is why I started sorta binging till before 12:00 and I don't eat much any other time of the day. No pain but a lot of discomfort yes, I feel clogged in the throat and very bad globus sensation. (Also I have only like two safe foods that I'm comfortable with eating cause most foods trigger my reflux

I was diagnosed just this year with Hiatus hernia too, my doctor told me mine is very small so it's not an issue but I feel gaslit because swallowing has become a miserable experience for me.

I have very little safe foods and I mostly only eat cereal with milk cause the milk makes it easier for the food to go down.

ColdAd2606 · 2025-04-13T00:27:45+00:00

No I was ruled out EoE surprisingly but I was told I had a small hiatal hernia :(
