Category: Nail Disorders
I have been dealing with and eating disorder for months now just got out of the hospital a month ago and relapsed a week later and now a couple of my nails are coming away from the skin and im wondering if this is could be do to my disorder or if its likely something else
I just want to add that i am getting help for my disorder but as anyone who has suffered with it its not an easy process and sometimes takes awhile but i am in counseling and have weekly dietitian and dr appt. this is just a new symptom for me and I will likely be going back to rogers memorial soon. but thank you for all your concern

Are your nails tinted a kind of blue? This is common in eating disorders. Your body is made of protein, and if you don’t get protein from food it doesn’t come from anywhere else.

If you are bulimic, your stomach acid can deteriorate your fingernails (as well as your esophagus and the back of your teeth).
As some one else answered though … your finger nails coming away from your skin is the least of your problem. Seek professional help.
