I have been suffering with health anxiety severely for the past month. In this month, I have suffered stomach cramping and I have therefore associated feeling ill with eating. The sheer level of the anxiety has also meant that I haven't been able to relax enough to eat. I have gone from 11st4lbs to 9st13lbs in just over a month. I understand this is not an unhealthy weight for my height but it's more the reason and time frame in which I have lost it.
Although at first, I was depriving myself of food purposely, I would not class myself as anorexic as I am not purposely depriving myself of food anymore. I simply don't want to eat it because I feel so awful.
I wondered if this was classed as anorexia. I have an unhealthy relationship with food now, and do not want to eat. I enjoy the feeling of emptyness in my stomach as I relate that feeling to keeping stomach illness at bay.
Would like to know if anyone else has experienced something like this.
