Q: I Can't Eat...I've Lost 25 kg and stopped Menstruation...wha

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 27th, 2006

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.

Eating Disorders Answer A902

Anorexia nervosa manifests as significant loss of body mass, lack of menstruation (amenorrhea), and psychiatric problems. I recommend you ask for expert help from a psychiatrist who can help you with a diagnosis. If you have lost too much weight, you will need a parentheral (intra-venous) feed in a hospital.
