Hi, I am new here so apologies for any errors in my first post.
I am a 21 year old female and recently been put back on antidepressants. I have been quite suicidal but have great support from a friend.
I have seeked medical advice but the process is very slow (understandable). For the first time in my life I have noticed a very negative relationship with food. Over the last month I have been intentionally starving myself, I have a huge fear of food. It started with me feeling guilty and greedy - to the extent that I would limit how many grapes I would have (5 was usually my max).
It all began with me feeling greedy for eating more than I needed if I wasn’t hungry (mainly healthy food). But has become a weight loss problem once I started noticing I was losing weight - this has become my main focus.
People have noticed my weight loss - although my figure still looks healthy. People comment that I look tired, drained and gaunt. People eating around me is causing me major anxiety and making me a horrible person to be around. I have pushed all of my family away too - it’s ruining my relationships. But also making me so h
have I got an eating disorder like my doctor says? If so what is it called? Has anybody experienced anything like this before?
thanks in advance, E
