I Can't Eat...I've Lost 25 kg and stopped Menstruation...wha Posted: 02-27-06 07:57am
I am really scared about what is going on
with me. I have lost 25kg in the last year
and now I cant stop.
I dont eat all day and in the evening I
only have a little bit. on some days I
dont eat at all.
Sometimes I feel like I am loosing my
mind. Looking in the mirror I see me like
I was a year ago - or worse.
I have been to see a doctor but all she
said was to eat. Its not that easy though.
I cant. I am disgusted and even thinking
about it makes me feel physically sick.
I havent had my period for 2 or 3 months
now but Im sure im not pregnant.
I dont know what to do, who to go to or
talk to. My GP wasnt too helpful in the
matter and I have no trust in others.
It seems likely that you are suffering
from anorexia nervosa. Significant loss of
body mass, lack of menstruation
(amenorrhea), and psychiatric problems are
typical for patients experiencing anorexia
nervosa. I recommend you to ask expert
help from a psychiatrist who can help you.
If you have lost too much weight , you
will need parentheral (intra-venous)
nutrition in a hospital.
