it will be ok, just find something to distract yourself from thinking about it all. watch your favourite movie wrapped up in your duvet on the couch - always works for me!

please don't take the laxatives. Like you said you ate very little, so keep that little bit inside. If you empty yourself out you're going to feel even more exhausted and tired.
I would love for you to get some gatorade to replenish your fluids. Hope you feel better.

Karrin is right the more you empty your tummy the worse you will feel. Try to keep something in even if it just gatoraid. I also struggle with the fatigue and exhaustion mostly when I am not eating. the less we eat the harder our bodies have to work to stay alive. Don't give in to the sleeping , not too much. It is another way to avoid food. It will definatly be o.k. you have people here who care about you and need you to work on getting stronger.
