[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 378109, member: 2423"] My 12-year-old daughter M had an eating disorder at age 8. It started with what you're describing -- she said she would choke and die if she ate. She limited her intake so severely that she ended up hospitalized and being fed by a feeding tube for a month. The medication Zyprexa eased her anxiety and obsessive thoughts about choking and dying and she began to eat again. She is now doing well and eating normally. As you have gathered, your daughter needs help with a qualified professional. I wouldn't wait until it spins out of control. Eating disorders tend to gather steam very quickly. The symptoms you're seeing could very well be part of her mood disorder and need addressing as part of her symptom complex. Please get her help ASAP. [/QUOTE]
