My brother is 15m, I am 17f. My brother has always been really into football and wanted to become a goalkeeper but before he just went to his training once a week and ate well before a match. Now, he does nothing but exercise. For about 6 hours a day he uses chatgpt to come up with intense workout sessions for him and it's all he does - he even hurt himself today and kept doing it. He doesn't eat anything that isn't to a very distinct set of what chatgpt had deemed good for him - its killing him. Today I'm pretty sure all he's eaten is a beetroot shot and grapes. He says he can eat high calories but it must be low fat, low protein, low fucking everything. He has gotten noticeably slimmer and I'm not even sure it's about the football anymore. He said to my mum today that despite his injury he needs to keep working out and he'll just miss football training if he must, this is a recent development and it makes me think its not about the football. My parents are actively encouraging it. My mum is praising him and constantly saying how good he looks and my dad is finally speaking to him more. I have developed severe issues and I always wondered how my brother escaped without anything but I think this is his version. I'm really worried, I've told my parents how unhealthy this is and been told to be quiet and even be more like him. Also, I am not diagnosing my brother - I am simply seeing these signs and it is disordered eating that appears dangerous to me. I have no clue what to do seeing as they won't listen and is this even bad? I feel like I'm exaggerating and seeing as everyone is telling me I am, maybe I am.

I am the stupidest person alive. I hate myself. I'm so so so stupid. I can't believe I didn't think of this. Its currently 1230am and I am wide awake but no revision is going in and I can't sleep. The exam I have tomorrow is for a subject I struggle with and is going to determine things about my future. I'm so so stupid. I have to wake up at 5am too. I'm so stupid. What do I actually do? How am I going to stay awake or do well at all in the exam tmr? Seriously I need help
EDIT - slept at 3am, exam start is in an hour, my brain is fried, im not passing philosophy
