Help me, Dr. Internet!
I think there's something wrong with my stomach.
I can't eat. Looking at food makes me feel sick. If I force myself to eat anyway, I can maybe finish about half of what I normally eat before my body goes "LOL NOPE" and I have to stop. (I ate about four bites of dinner tonight before I told Dad I wasn't hungry and went back upstairs.) What's worse is that, intellectually, I know I'm hungry. I've been getting sleepy and light-headed and headache-y because I'm not eating as much as I should--and, still, I may as well be trying to eat mud for the amount of food I'm able to force down.
I don't really have any other kind of symptoms. I don't feel sick when I'm not trying to eat, and the only kind of stomach pains I've been getting are from hunger. Normally this wouldn't bother me--sometimes I just don't feel hungry for a couple of days--but it's been going on for about a week now, which is way longer than normal. And it's gotten to the point where I can't even eat things that are empty carbs, which is usually how I tide myself over until this goes away.
What's wrong with me?
