how come i feel like this?

Question

okay, so i am 22 years old and 5 foot 6 inches tall and weigh 117.6 lbs which is very little if you do the math with my age taken in consideration and such.now all of a sudden i am under so much stress and i do not want my bf or parents or friends to feel sory for me because i can handle all the finals and such. but i am at a breaking point and at a point of where i can barely sleep, barely have time to eat 2 meals a day if i am lucky and i am munching on lots of fruit and some reeces pieces-just like 5 for today and none for last week. i am a health freak yet when i am stressed out i either gain or lose weight. now i i feel like i am 120 or something -lbs that is-and like i do not have rhe confidence that i had nor like my body anymore and feel that everyone can tell if i gained 3-5 lbs which is crazy because people tell me that i should eat more because i am so skinny for my age and height and since my epilepsy medication also works to make me lose weight.why do i feel so conscious?

but the worst part is that i feel so self conscious around my bf and tonight when we had dinner i did not eat as much as usual nor went for something sweet. i feel so horrible in front of my bf like yea i am a size 2 yet i feel that i am not out of shape but more stressed out which i do not let out.is ther something wrong with me or is it just stress?

Answer 1

first of all, TAKE A DEEEEEEEP BREATH! It'll be ok. You are stressed. wow, I could actually "feel" your stress and anxiety as I was reading. It seems like you have so much going on and a little stress from everything around you is making you one big mess. You can't really pin point one thing physically because there really isn't anything that is all that huge. SO you obsess over your weight because it is something phsyical that you can see (or at least make yourself think you see). It's something you can feel and concentrate all of your energy into. There is nothing wrong with your weight. (check it out, I'm not lying)

You need to talk to people. Talk about anything and everything, a lot. Like your day, what you do, things you think about. Don't think about what stresses you in your day, just talk and let it flow. Then eventually some of the things that do stress you will just come out on their own.


..hope I helped

Answer 2

relax honey. you are probably having anxiety or depression problems that's all.
its a part of growing up and everyone reacts differently to stress from the world.
why don't you see a psychiatrist and talk to him/her about your problem. With proper counselling and medicine, your can live a better life. The worst thing you can do is nothing and let this eat you up from inside.

Godbless.
