I’m getting assessed by a doctor on Tuesday but I’m just curious and trying to figure out if I can stay in college while getting treated.
-I’m 19, 5′ 7" or so, about 100 pounds, been thin my whole life but have been losing weight recently
-periods have pretty much stopped, I get dizzy a lot and sometimes have trouble remembering things and concentrating (I also have slight depression)
-don’t binge, purge, or purposely restrict
-eat very little in quantity
-have very little variety
-don’t think I’m fat and have those body issues
I think it might just be restrictive eating and selective eating disorder that develop when I was very young and has stayed with me. I know that I don’t have anorexia, bulimia, or a typical eating disorder.
Do you think they’ll recommend residential treatment or partial hospitilization? Will it help since I don’t have one of those typical eating disorders? I’m already seeing a social worker and he says that I need more help than he can provide. I can’t just force myself to eat, but I can’t explain why.

Most likely you just have a pancreatic insufficiency or low stomach acid. The dizziness can come from low blood sugar that is typically caused by eating too many carbs and not enough fat. Eating lots of good fats will not cause you to gain weight. Not getting good minerals or eating lots of SOY products will deplete you of the minerals you need. Your adrenal glands are most likely exhausted from making cortisol that you are getting most of your energy form. That will make you dizzy and if you do not get good sleep at night, your adrenal glands will not recharge as they should, making you feel dizzy.

Sit in a chair for a few minutes and then stand up quickly. If you feel faint and dizzy, that is your blood pressure dropping as a result of exhausted adrenal glands. Eating lots of carbs and sugar with low fat will cause this problem. We were designed to eat lots of fat.

Go see a Certified Nutritional Therapist and they can help you become healthy.

good luck to you
