Eating disorder?

[Danfalc]

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem i have.. havin been through sommat similar or just maybe knowing a bit more about it.Im pretty sure i have some sort of eating disoerder/problem... except i dont think its because of my self image or weight issues... like alot of them.

Im not in to giving myself labels..but it really is a serious problem now.I just dont hardly eat at all.. i might have a bowl of cerial one day then go the next 2 without eating.. when im really forcing myself i might have one tiny meal a day :? but that doesnt happen all that often.I do sometimes binge eat.. and fill myself with crap.But im just never hungry and ive got into this rut of not eating.. and ive been like this for over 3 years now and i think its contributing so much to my illness... why i have so little energy.. lethagic depressed ect.. and im practicaly starving myself.

Ive been to the doctors.. and i get the same sorta answers everytime.. they just dont really seem too intrested.. I get told well you look okay you dont look ill or malnourished.Or i get told.. to eat lol.. or eat small portions.. and build up from there.. which alot of is common sence really but i just cant... sometimes i do it for about a week but all it takes is one off day and im back into the cycle of not eating ive been in for 3 years.

Im 5 foot 4 and about 8 stone i think.. im not in bad shape cos i go gym.. but there isnt a gram of fat on me...i dont think i could physicaly lose any more weight... yet because im just within whats considered the average weight range for my height.. my doctors wont take it serious.It pisses me off that id have to loose about a stone and get down to 7 untill they would take my weight issue seriously but ithink id probaly put myself in hospital if i started eating any less and lost any more weight. :?

One thing you can try is a nutrition shake. A lot of them taste pretty bad but some are alright and have quite a lot of good stuff in them. I'm not sure of the specific types over there in the UK but I know they do have them there. That in combination with an energy supplement might do you good. That's the setup I had when I went through my phase of not eating much. Typically I'd have breakfast and then a shake for lunch and dinner. I was skinny, and it's no replacement for eating three times a day, but I think it's better than skipping a meal entirely.

Ta for the reply mate.And yeah i know any type of supplement drink isnt a proper replacement for food.. but i really have gone on too long trying to force myself to eat and not got anywhere.. so i just want somthing till i can start eating again cos i think it really is fueling the depression.Anyway thanks for the advice ill have a look at the local chemist
