I can't eat. When I wake up in the morning I am not hungry in the afternoon I'm not hungry and same for evening. It has been this way for the past seven months. I am still the same weight. I haven't lost any pounds or gained any. I force myself to eat even when I'm not hungry. I took a blood test to see if something is going on. If there is more than depression. Yikes! I'm worried about so much now. Moving, money, school and the list goes on. From now on I'm just going to eat lighter. Try and stay positive from now on.

Sounds like you have a lot of stress in your life right now and your ED has kicked in full force. I am not sure based on what you wrote if you are trying to lose weight or not but I am not surprised you have not lost weight. Our bodies will naturally shut down when they are not getting the nutrition they need and when we do eat the body will keep everything it gets from that food. It's a lesson many of us have had to learn the hard way. The body will protect itself as best as it can from starvation.

Eating lighter would be good. Please make sure you are getting the proper nutrition so you can have the energy you need during this stressful time. We wouldn't want to hear that you collapsed because of stress and lack of food. ((Hugs))
