I am 16 and have posted about this before. Last year when I had my first major bout of anxiety my appetite completely disappeared from June - September. And until about April I had actually started to gain back the weight I lost.
I was coping during my exams until my friend took something and ended up in hospital. I told myself it wouldn't affect me and felt surprisingly calm. That day I sat down to eat dinner and I just didn't want to eat it at all. It wasn't appealing and I just felt sick.
So far this has been going on for almost a month and I really really don't want it to affect me any longer. I suppose it's better this time because I am actually eating rather than running away from food, but it hasn't stopped me losing weight. I now think I have some kind of disease.
I'm scared people are going to think I'm too skinny and think I have an eating disorder, I'm already a vegetarian so that doesn't exactly help lol.
If you can relate, how long did your appetite take to come back?
I want to get rid of this so much, it's the only thing I think about anymore.
Thanks
