You know how when some people are stressed out they turn to food and gain weight? well, im like the opposite. when i get stressed out and i AM, i start losing weight, and right now i am not even moved at the sight of food, it makes me feel nauseous. I dont like being skinny enough as it is, but im feeling sick from not eating. Earlier today i thought i was gonna die. I was so tired that i could not stay awake anywhere, and when i got home i got to sleep from very early in the afternoon(dont remember) and woke up @ 9:00. my mom tried to take me to the hospital but i refused cuz i was so
exhausted.
Any advice?
Please, someone help me..I dont feel like i have long.

To be blunt, I think that you need to smoke a little pot. You'll regain your appetite and calm down quite a bit. Sure, marijuana is controversial, but it's a whole hell of a lot milder than alcohol. You probably won't take this seriously, but I honestly suggest that you try it. There is a high chance that if moderately consumed, pot could positively counter your issues.

Try to reduce your stress. If you take deep breaths and slowly exhale and do this a few times, it will help you to relax. This is very important b/c when you are stressed, you might produce excess acids that can cause other problems which is worse if you have nothing in your stomach. When you feel better, try to do a little excercise, go outdoors, have some fun with friends, it improves your appetite.
Then, You just have to try to eat, small meals, small bites. Try to drink juice, shake, whatever you like. You need the calories. You could also not be eating as much as the calories spent b/c stress uses alot of energy and b/c eating may be a chore you think your metabolism is fast but ur body is just not getting enough.
Finally, You really should get a blood work up to find out what is going on and why you are nauseous and without appetite.
Take care

Lol ..Girl Your Normal. It's Called A Thyroid Gland && I Know Because I Have One. Nothing Serious But You Should Go Have A Test Done To Confirm That's What It Really Is. They Have An Active Thyroid && Non Reactive Thyroid Gland. I Have The Non Reactive One Which Means That I Always Be Tired && I Eat Alot But Dont Gain Any Weight && When I Do Gain Weight I Lose It Back Within Days.The Active Does the Opposite.(Makes You Gain Weight).

Been there and done that!
My X would tell my daughters that i was anorexic!!
He was an abuser and had NOTHING to put on me, so he would use that, when in reality, it was all the stress from his abuse that made me so thin....In fact i had to be put in the hospital ...so FORCE yourself to eat SOMETHING!!!
My daughters at the time were 8 and 10 and i weighed about the same as my 10 year old who is TINY herself....
My English friend kept me supplied in WEIGHT GAIN product that you make milkshakes out of . It comes in Banana Split , French Vanila and all kinds of great flavors nowadays....
Even though i couldnt drink a whole shake every BIT helped! good luck!

hey - i would suggest drinking Ensure - it looks like a slimfast shake to lose weight but it is actually a supplement that has a lot of vitamins and good stuff in it. When I got my teeth pulled I couldn't eat for a few days and my doctor said to drink that to keep my strength up. I know when I have times where I cant eat without feeling nauseous, drinking doesnt have the same negative response.
and try some yoga or something to ease your stress!

Try to snack throughout the day. Dont' eat a lot at one setting. I do the same thing sometimes and it's hard to build an appetite back up. When this happens to me I usually will snack all day long on something like crackers and I eventually get hungry again. It's not the amount you eat at one time, it's the frequencey of eating. Tonight my appetite is back in full force. I ate two plates at Ryans and I was THRILLED. It's awesome to be hungry again. It's hard for people to understand what NOT BEING HUNGRY feels like. IT SUCKS

My advice would be to listen to your mom and get to a doctor immediately! She should have an ambulance take you and not listen to your refusals. It sounds like your health is seriously compromised, and even you realize that you could die if you don't do something about it. It sounds like this has gone beyond not wanting to eat when you are stressed, and if you should get a cold or the flu, it could kill you.

Try and get some professional advice...your problems may be easily fixed with medications or bio-feedback techniques.
As for being skinny, there are weight gain supplements that could be of use to you. Just see a doctor, and they can help diagnose what's wrong so that you can get over it quicker.

Ooh, I'm sorry to hear about that!
There are meds you can take for that....Tyra Banks takes them, too, I remember hearing. You should talk to your doctor, though, just to make sure that is really what is going on. He will probably want to run some tests on you and may also refer you to a nutritionist, who can help you figure out how to stay healthy.
I hope that you start to feel better soon!

Your body is not responding because it lacks nutrition. A good supplement is Juice Plus+. You can take capsules but they also have a fabulous power to make up vitamin smoothies. check it out. http://www.juiceplus.com/nsa/pages/Home.soa?site=Lb53116
