You need to eat, you need to be healthy! You will only cause yourself more health problems. Im glad you have a therapist appoitment and I hope it goes well!
Be honost with your doctor because that is important too. They need to be able to help you as best as possible and being truthful is important for them to be able to do that. Why are you not eating? Is it because your too depressed to eat? Talk to your therapist about it when you go visit him/her. Together, your therapist and your doctor can help you, as long as your honost!! Ive been depressed since I was 10 or 11 I believe. I was diagnosed with bipolar manic depression a year and a half ago or so,   I just turned 16. I know how it feels to feel empty all the time. I will be praying for you to get better! Take care of yourself, your life is to valuable and tell your docotors the truth!!

Yes from my health issues I believe I cover it up very well with the doctors about being depressed and saying I eat but I am depressed just depressed being stuck in here and not knowing what's wrong with me.. I think the worse of what could be wrong with me. I see the NP. Today at 3pm and see new therapist Thursday and new doctior in Aug I tell everyone I am eating but really not eating much at all..They say u look like u starving Urself.

Hi!

Im so sorry that you have been going through that!! Maybe do start taking your recommended dose just to see! As for being depressed, is there anything you can think of thats causing you to feel this way? Is it because if your current health? Knowing whats making you feel this way can help a lot with getting you feeling better !
I reccomend that you at least seek a therapist if your not comfortable with taking more meds. That may be all you need! Find things to do that can keep you busy enough to where you can keep your mind off things.
And please dont deprive yourself of eating because thats doing your health absolutely no good! It might make things worse and that could be why your doctor questions about your food intake. Take care of yourself! Its important! And always count on your friends here if you need anything!
