I have a bit of a problem that I need some help with. I think I might have an eating disorder of some sort. Lately, I don't feel like eating, but my stomach hurts because I'm really hungry. I've been having trouble sleeping at night because my stomach hurts so bad, but I just don't have an appetite. It's been bothering me because I'm already underweight as it is, but I don't have health insurance. Every time my mom tries to mail the papers in, they send them back and think of something else they need. I really don't know what to do, and my mom always says it's because I don't eat the right foods, even though I've been eating the same way all my life, and I've never had this happen, before. Please help me!

Something like this happend to me. Sometimes you have to force your self. How about trying protein shakes, smothies, or possibly yogurt. If you can eat fruits thats really good. You should always eat.

you need to eat. if you stop eating for a long time, your body with go into recession which is why you dont feel hungry.

Once you start eating again, your appetite will build up.
Also do exercise, running or a bike ride or swimming will get your metabolism back up and running.

YOU MUST EAT. even if your not hungry.

honestly it sounds like you may have gastroenteritis which has the symptoms you have described. I would say go to the hospital and they have to see you. You can pay them $5 a month and that'll be ok. If not taken care of it could be dangerous and if its not this it could be something that still needs medical attention.

you should probably try and eat something small even i you don't feel like it. just because you don't fancy eating doesn't mean you don't need it.

You need to eat when you are hungry, whether or not you have an appetite. If you force yourself to eat (healthy) food when you know you are hungry, your appetite should return.
