What is wrong with my body?

[SakuraChii]

I know that I shouldn't be asking this but it's urgent and I can't find anywhere else to ask. So lately I've been feeling depressed, my mom can't afford much food so we don't eat much and when I'm depressed i don't like to eat. I haven't been really eating much lately either like I'll have a piece of bread or a hot dog a day. Today I stayed home and after two naps I woke up feeling dizzy, my head hurting, my stomach hurting really bad and not a cramping or dirreah feeling. I told my mom how I was feeling and she just made it seem like I had a little stomache ache, but this is the worst pain I felt, it doesn't even feel like cramps, I can't describe it and she can't relate. So later I tried to eat because I felt hungry but I still didn't feel like eating, so while I was eating some of the oatmeal, it kept coming up my throat and I had to force myself to swallow. I couldnt eat anymore because I ended up chocking.

Now I'm laying down because I feel weak and can't move without effort,
Am I going through some type of starvation? And how can I get my mom to take me to a doctor or hospital?

Thanks for the advice, going to a doctor seems like the only way because I can't force myself to eat

First of all, your stomach is properly shrinking and it's hard for you to eat, also because you're not eating you're not getting any energy and all the vitamins you need, you really need to start eating, in a month from now you will feel amazing, start small, eat anything you can, however much you can, just do it, then tommorow, try to eat a little more, if you can't try again the next day, up until the point where you can and you start feeling better.

If you want to go to the doctors, tell your mom you're serious and you need to get some help, nag her about it, she will come through :)

It's most probably Gastric Ulcer. Your stomach secretes hydrochloric acid at a steady rate. So if you don't eat the acid accumulates and the fumes (gas) fills the stomach. So when you try to eat, the gas pushes the food outside. Drink lots of water. Consult your doctor. He might give you Omeprazole/ Pantaprazole or other relevant drugs. Take the medicine, wait 30 minutes and then eat. Make a habit of eating something at regular intervals (atleast 3 times a day). Do not skip breakfast. Drink lots of water.

I've been there I grew up where at a time I survived off a can of vegetables a day. You're suffering from dehydration caused by insufficient nourishment. I'm not sure where you live but if you live in America the state does supply emergency foodstamps and there should be some sort of food bank nearby or local church that donates food. I know sometimes its hard to ask for assistance but when its life or death put pride aside. .

You're suffering from low energy from lack of food in the short run. Long run, who knows what's happening.

You need to eat more calories. Oatmeal, eggs, rice, vegetables on sale are cheeeeeap. Canned tuna is cheap too. You don't need a ton of protein if you're eating enough carbs but you need some, and you need some fruits and vegetables for nutrients.

Not taking care of that will make you feel worse, tired and more depressed. Both of you.

Please, please, please DON'T starve yourself! You can easily die from it if you take it too far. You have to eat in order to stay alive. It damages your body system inside. You need to start eating more and you should go see a doctor as soon as you can.

To be honest. Im not sure how to resplve all your problems but I can tell you this: If you actually can't afford the very food you need everyday, steal the food, but dont starve. you're probably in a serious state of starvation. I think you should just tell her what you're feeling and find a way to see a doctor. Its evident to me that you need not only regular health care but also psychiatric help. This situation cannot go on.

You should see a doctor or something to make sure it isn't anything serious, even tho that is kinda serious. Try eating yogurt and other easily melted foods, and drink water. Good luck and if you need to talk or something just hit me up! :)
