Hello, I have been on this site before but not for a while, would like to start coming here as i do have a big problem with food and my diet, or lack of one.
OK, don't really know where to start. OK i had a very bad fall in 2011 and lost about 50 lb's or more the right way with my sisters help and from the trauma. Kept it off for all these yrs wicth is great, but i have a very poor almost don't eat diet, or i eat too much of the wrong thing. This has given me many health prob's including the worst one is Gastritis, really bad. Have been to ER 2 times this yr because i thought i was dying or something. Had the colonoscopy/ endoscopy. The whole nine. They just said i have severe chronic gastritis. I get these terrible attack's and have to induce vomiting, they tell me that's very bad and i know it is, but it hurts so bad that i have to get it out somehow, i also have severe chronic depression/ anxiety also along w' some other thing's. My family and everyone say's oh you are so skinny and my aunt is convinced i have anorexia. I didn't think i did because i do eat every day. I look in the mirror and i see fat, i don't really over exercise, really need to do some, but i am week a lot and feel frail. Have slight agoraphobia also so i am home alot and live on the 3rd floor so my leg's are the strongest. I am older now, so i can't eat or not eat like i used to. Have family and grown child prob's also, i feel like my life is so out of control, and now i have to watch what i eat and i am supposed to eat little meal's all day. It's so hard for me. I am all-way's worried that i will have another attack. See a doc, physiologist, and i have a social worker, on waiting list to get back to counseling but it's a long list. I don't even know what my question is if i even have one. I know that if i keep going like this, it will be bad, and i am very worried. No body really get's it. Don't think i even get it. I love food, but i hate food also. I just thought maybe i could re join this group if you will have me and maybe i could get some feedback if anyone else has any of these prob's. Thanks for listening to my book. Ha
Gentle Hug's to you all

Took it last night and got the best night sleep ive had in a very long time. It did not increase my appetite, but it seemed that i didn' wake in so much panic that i always am. Has anyone ever used this drug? If so did it work? if i don't increase my food intake, i will have to go to the hospital, really don't want to do that, any input would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any info.
