please be drinking lots of water. your body is telling you that its tired and needs fuel. feed it something. when i used to feel that way i would go to jamba juice and get a healthy smoothie with protien boost in it. you wont gain weight.. just feed your body something before it wants to go into shock or before you pass out. good luck

I am the same way. I know the dangers of an ed and I am feeling dizzy while I am at work, like sometimes to the point I feel like I'm starting to black out, but yet I don't care....

That has happened to me countless times. Several times I did pass out.

Drink something, anything. Once you get something in your system, you'll feel better. It's worked for me. And if you feel like your about to pass out, sit down, even if your in the hall. The last time I got dizzy and didn't sit down, I almost cracked my head open on the metal stairs. Not fun.

Hang in there, hun

One of the best things of course is to work on recovery but until you're ready try drinking Gatorade or Powerade. The both come in light versions now so calories are not a problem. You are probably dehydrated and your electrolytes are out of balance. Please be careful, you are at a serious crossroads in your ED where survival is in question!
