I've been super exhausted for months I'm waiting for a blood test but I don't want to eat anything because I've already put weight on. I had a baked potato for lunch after work at my sit down job and that's it. I'm hungry now but don't want to eat because I've been asleep after work. I feel ugly and fat please help. I tried walking and exercise at home but it causes me to be tired for days on end.
I always feel guilty for eating. I looked at myself on the mirror today and I was really down and depressed what I saw

Ok, so I am no expert in eating disorders, but it feels like you're in a viscous cycle of not wanting to eat because you feel fat, but not eating won't be helping your energy levels.

It sounds like there could be an underlying physical cause like maybe anaemia? Hopefully the blood test will show something that is easily treatable, then you can concentrate on eating and excersiziing properly, and feeling more like yourself again.

So you posted this under eating disorders…. Have you been diagnosed with an eating disorder?
