Eating difficulties

Ok, This has taken my everything topost this so please don't give me a hard time.

I have problems with food, I don't think I'm fat, I'm 5'3'' and weigh roughly about 7.5 stone, I can't eat, When I eat I get horrendous indigestion and feel awful, I don't like feeling full and I panic I'm going to be sick. I live on a diet of soup or minimal amounts of whatever the rest of the family are eating.

I have been to the GP and he said it was depression and anxiety I was put on Anti-depressants and have been on them for 2 years, I don't feel depressed, Have had the tablets changed a few times, I have a great life, A very supportive DH and 2 lovely DC. I am happy aside from the usual stresses of life!!

The GP has also put me on anti-gastro tablets which I am on the max dose for, They really don't seem to be taking it seriously and I am fully prepared to admit it probably is all in my head, However I don't want to be 'scared' of eating anymore.

Now do I try again with the GP or just live how I have been.

It really affects my life, I'm tired, Run down and in a vicious circle.

My DH is so supportive, Doesn't moan, Pressure me or get cross.I've been like this for about 10 years or so, It was a lot worse last year when I dropped to 6 stone but have managed to keep my weight at 7.5 stone,I don't exercise because I'm scared of losing more weight, So I'm pretty unhealthy.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll be back on after the school run
Thanks in advance :-)

The only thing they did was blood tests which didn't show up much except anaemia!

I'm going to book another appt and take DH with me.

Thank you for your reply
