Do I have an eating disorder? Or is this normal?!


Question: Do I have an eating disorder? Or is this normal?
I have not been eating for the past few weeks... I don't feel the SLIGHTEST bit hungry, and have no desire to eat. This all started when I started going out with my boyfriend... But I don't want to eat... And I have been suspected of type 1 diabetes... Does this mean I'm a diabetic now??

It's possible. I would see a doctor as soon as possible.
Although you may not feel anything wrong. your organs can be damaged.
Are you constipated? do you feel light headed? is your heart racing or having pains?

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder. & the only reason why i wasnt eating was because i also had no appetite!. anorexia means without appetite, you get to a point where you just loose it.
It's like your bodies emotionless.

I hope I helped(: really go see a doctor and see what exactly is the issue.



if you are not eating because you are not hungry this isnt an eating disorder

if you are not eating because you are insecure about your body/ feeling fat/a voice in your head telling you no/ wanting control over something etc you probably have an eating disorder

myself



Definitely not a sign of diabetes, if anything it is the exact opposite of diabetes. You should see your doctor, to make sure you don't have any problems with your stomach, or intestinal tract.

I am a RN, BSN



it depends. are you not eating because you legitemately aren't hungry, or are you purposely not starving yourself.

the second one could be an eating disorder.
