My diet.

Or more, my lack of one.

I have noticed that ever since about a month ago, I have basically stopped eating. I just started eating less. At first, I simply didn't finish dinner and the like, but now, it's progressed to the point of me literally going 4-5 days without eating. Anything. At all.

My mom is flipping out at this, but I don't want her taking me to some doctor where he'll proclaim that I have some bullshit eating disorder that he BS'ed up on the spot. I just wonder why this is happening. I basically have lost all motivation to eat. I don't feel like eating or drinking anything besides.....well, nothing really.

It hasn't gotten to the point where my physical health is detoriating, though. I hope it this just post-school-start depression.

    ....

    You claim that the doctor will "proclaim that you have some bullshit eating disorder that he BS'ed up on the spot"

    But you REALLY don't think there is something wrong with not eating for FIVE DAYS?

    That could easily be an eating disorder.

    Also, I don't know how you could possibly do that. The human body should be really fucking weak after not eating for 5 days.

    If school if depressing you enough that it is affecting your diet that much might I suggest seeing a therapist or counselor about it?

    Is that even possible?

    And I don't think he'd have to make up an eating disorder. "Not eating" is fairly basic in terms of diagnoses.

    It's possible that he simply hasn't noticed his physical health deteriorating...

    Just to clarify: I do eat sometimes. However, it is nowhere near the normal amount.

    ^^^ I doubt it.

    ^^ Probably that.

    Start eating more or see a doctor.  That's really unhealthy.

    Your exact words were you eat nothing at all.

    "An unstable home environment is detrimental to the emotional well-being of children, even in the absence of blatant abuse or neglect the stress of an unstable home can contribute to the development of an eating disorder."

    Well, given how fucked up my family is...

    Okay, so go see a doctor already.

    Chagen: That's kind of my point as to why speaking to a professional would be a good idea.

    Yeah, and that reasoning is hardly bullshit.

    Not eating is something you could probably fix on your own, but I don't think loss of appetite is.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Do see a professional about it, Chagen.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    Is that even possible?

    No it is not.

    Stress in the home environment can lead to the development of eating disorders, but I am not quite sure what level of stress it would take to prevent you from eating for five days straight.

    Just considering how weak that would make you feel makes me doubt your story already, not even considering how bad the hunger pangs get.

    After just a couple of days of not eating, your body basically starts to consume itself to sustain you. It begins by feeding off muscle and fat... And generally starts with the muscles first.

    Also, beyond the first couple of days, your body begins to scream at you to start eating. Severe hunger pangs and the like. Unless you're deliberately starving yourself, the temptation would be severely overwhelming.

    It also cuts down on the amount of nutrients being sent to your brain.

    I'm calling bullshit, Chagen.

    As I already said, I did eat sometimes.

    I just didn't eat anywhere near the normal healthy amount of food thay you should.
  • NovaNova

    In that case, I recommend going to see a doctor about the severe malnutrition you should have developed by now, 'kay? ^_^

    That would require convincing my parents to get off of their asses and take me to the doctor, and convincing them that there's something wrong with me.

    Something I'm pretty sure they'd would utterly refuse to do.

    I'm going to eat something right now.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    Didn't you say your mother was freaking out over your eating habits in the OP?

    OP made it sound like your mom was trying to take you to the doctor, and you were fighting it. 

    Shouldn't be too hard.
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    Well, my dad.....I just have a very low opinion of him. I mean, he might take me to the doctor.....but I have this irrational feeling he'd not do it just because it would cost too much money or something like that.

    But what about your mom?
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    She's a better choice. Perhaps.

    This is probabl just depression. I've been eating more a little bit in the last few days. I guess from now on, I'll try to make an effort to eat more until it passes.

    Just made some sausage and pancakes. Gonna eat them right now.

    And now she just pissed at me for eating her food.

    So Chagen's mom peed on him after he tried to eat her food.

    "That would require convincing my parents to get off of their asses and take me to the doctor, and convincing them that there's something wrong with me."

    What?! It's your problem and you're pinning responsibility on your parents? What a spoiled, conceited brat!

    Even so, his rhetoric implies they are being lazy about a problem he has, which smacks of entitlement. Besides, if he did have a starvation problem, his teachers and classmates would notice something. I have difficulty believing he cannot contact anyone in the school about it.

    But of course he was just exaggerating. Again.
