i'm starting to think nobody can help me or the people i trust just think this will pass or its just a faze
i dont know what to do, im around five foot ten an underweight an have been for 3 years now, i was in a car crash and had a trakeostomi
and i find it hard to swallow food and sometimes it makes me sick, and i cant get the proper help,
i was in the doctor's today an he just gave me a prescription for weight gain shakes and fosfer which he gave me before
and they didn't help much, any ideas that would possibly help?

Do you purposely restrict your food intake through fear of gaining weight and an obsession with calorie restriction and the feeling that you are fat and feel guilty when you eat food? Because if you do those are symptoms of an eating disorder. But if it is just that you have difficulty eating for physical reasons like you find it hard to swallow, that doesn't sound like an eating disorder. Eating disorders are mental illnesses. I'm not really sure how to gain weight if weight gain shakes and things aren't working, maybe ask at a health food store about healthy ways to gain weight? Sorry my advice kinda sucks. Really glad for you if you don;t have a mental illness though, it is lovely to hear Smile

thanks and no your advice doesn't suck, you are probably the first person that has tried to help in any way other than telling me just to eat and stop being a girl... which doesn't help,
i know that this site doesn't deal with these things but i just needed to say it because i felt sort of crap last week
and very unhappy, i just want to gain some weight
thanks for not giving me a hard time because of this Smile
