anorexia-anemia

This morning when I was getting ready for church, I started to feel very very dizzy. I began to black-out…and eventually I did faint and I woke up like 5 or 10 minutes later on my bathroom floor. The day before I didn’t eat anything…and today I haven’t felt hungry at all. Most normal days, I don’t have the urge to eat anything…like maybe one small thing a day. I never feel hungry or want to eat. I’m not concious about my weight or anything…but does anyone maybe think I’m anorexic?? I’m not sure but it’s starting to scare me because I know this isn’t normal. Also, my boyfriend is getting very worried about me and told me to go to the doctor, but I haven’t yet. … My other problem… is that I am very white. I’m not white in a pale way…but I can’t tan. What does this mean?? Please help someone!!! Thanks!!

Answer #1

You’re probably not feeling hungry because you’re so sick, get to a doctor immediately! Being pale is usually a sign of iron deficiency, but it could just be your natural tone. My advice: Eat, even if you’re not feeling hungry (but get to a doctor first)

Answer #2

no this is not normal, blacking out should be a clear sign of that. i would have to agree with your boy friend you need to see a doctor and start eat even if you dont feel hungery. as for the tam=n thing i cant tell yah. plz get help soon like today.

Answer #3

I had a friend who got so thin, she had to go to hosital for a yr - so for gosh’s sake, EAT!!!! dont worry about the tan, im know someone like that and she’s perfectly healthy. i wood see a doctor. do u drink a lot of fizzy drinks? cos that can ‘fill u up’ as it has so much sugar. and i thought anorexia was actively starving urself, not just not feelin hungry. normaallly exercise makes me feel hungary. how much exercise do u take in a day? try walking briskly for 1/2 an hour, then see if u feel hungary afterwards.

Answer #4

Anorexia is mental - it’s when you starve yourself because you want to.. But yes, you should go see a doctor. SOON.
