You just don't want to eat (can't put food in your mouth)? Can you take in liquids? If you are concerned about starving, go see a doctor or someone who can help you.

Why don't you want to eat? Afraid of getting sick? Afraid of gaining weight?

well i do have a massive fear of being sick. I get all panicy if i feel sick etc. But i know i need to eat, but i just dont fancy the food. Just getting over a stomach ache ive had all week and at the mo i feel quite week and low on energy because i have not eaten a lot of food today.

Wow, I thought I was the only one like that! If someone close to me has a "stomach thing" going on, I won't eat either! I WANT to, but I am so scared! Yea, we have a "problem", but at least you know you are not alone with this! I was so afraid of getting sick, I made myself SO bad in 2002 that I ended up continuously nauseated! I finally had to see a doctor and he told me my electrolites had gotten really low - almost like what happens to an anorexic! So please, eat, you will be really really sorry like I was! I don't even think you are as bad as me!
