Advice needed please……

I’ve been on and off various medications for anxiety and depression for a while now. I’ve noticed more recently that the current medication which is actually working very well, is also suppressing my appetite.

But in addition to this, in the last week or two I’ve become very focused on not eating and loosing weight. I’ve been documenting what I have had and calories etc and I’ve had a total of 800 calories since Thursday.
I feel lightheaded and tired which is expected but strangely I feel pleased with my self which obviously isn’t good and with each day that passes it feel good that I’m not giving in to eating more.
How do I nip this in the bud now before it escalates?

You work out what’s behind it- why now, why this way of communicating how you feel.

You work out who you’re trying to communicate with, and why you’ve chosen your body to do this.

You find other ways to regulate your emotions, name and tame your feelings and talk to people about what’s (really) going on.

The way you nip it in the bud is by eating more - unfortunately there is no other answer. A meal plan has helped me in the past when I have struggled to eat sufficiently - feel free to DM me if you want an example. Once you are eating more and your brain is functioning properly again (it won't be right now because it is starved) you can begin to work out what is behind this new desire to eat so little - counselling/therapy may help. Good luck
