I have to be very conscious of weight gain and loss, as I take medication for ADHD, and this makes me super anxious. I've had struggles with NSSI in the past, and I don't relapse often but it happens. My parents don't exactly, uhm, help the situation. They try but they just threaten to punish me if cut, and it makes me feel worse often. They also comment on my snacking habits (I generally have a calorie deficit of about 1k by the end of the day, and so I snack at night to make up for it, but then I feel like purging, which I don't currently do, luckily) and say I need to stop eating so much, even though I try to only snack on healthier stuff. Then they tell me I "don't eat enough" because if I lose weight there goes the medication I quite literally need to not fail my classes. (I have mixed ADHD.) I also barely sleep, I have an almost complete melatonin deficit, don't ask me how that works, and my supplements have stopped working. My parents don't believe me and think I'm just reading or somehow bypassing their extremely strict screen time regulations to go and draw on my iPad or play on my laptop. I genuinely worry for my friends more than myself too??? And I feel guilty dumping stuff on them? So I just... Don't. Sorry if this is a lot of rambling.
