I can't eat... Does anyone know if something is wrong?

I don't know what's going on, but I've been getting very queasy and nauseous whenever I try to eat food! This has been going on for about 5 days now.

I don't feel ill. I really don't think I'm sick (with the flu, or a virus or anything like that).

My parents think it's psychosomatic. Like depression, or maybe even anorexia. And that makes a lot of sense, but I'm generally a very cheerful and confident person! This past week I've definitely not been nearly as happy as usual though.

I've never had major cares about weight, because I'm really thin and have a metabolism issue. (I digest food so fast, that if I don't get over 2500 calories a day I lose weight). Already in the past five days I went from 110 lbs to 106 lbs. I hate being super gross and skinny like this.

I really want to eat! I don't know why it's making me throw up though!

*Sigh* And I LOVE food! I love eating, but now I feel repulsed just taking a bite of an apple!

Has anyone here experience something like this before? Or does anyone have some suggestions or ideas?

    heyy i experienced this before.. like 5 years ago.

    i would wake up and not want to eat breakfast. lunch would be two saltines with a gulp of water. dinner would be like a palmful of noodles. that would be my day. i would feel naseous and turn away..

    my parents thought it was in my head because my best friend just moved away. so i went to a psychiatrist and that didnt really help but...

    so it was like depression for me but...

    for me this lasted like almost three weeks. yeah (luckily it was during the summer) i lost so much weight and i had no idea why i didnt feel like eating,

    then one day i threw up like water (i know gross) so my mom took me to the hospital and they said i was dehydrated. so i had to do iv's and everything. then i got home and my mom just forced me to eat.. that was that.

    i mean, i was 10. i didnt care about my weight or anythin back then.

    now i really like to eat. lolz.

    suggestions: try to eat your favorite foods. and drink a lot cuz u may just b fatigues from dehydration? maybe you could like make smoothies or eat crackers.. start small and soon your life will be okay, like mine :)

    hope i helped... contact back if you have more questions.

    Burning up calories was child's play for me when I started using acai berry. I understand they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they definitely worked for me, and they've been shown on CBS News too. There is a free trial on currently at http://hacepby.ozziesworld.com/ , try it out, what have you got to lose?
