Do I have an eating disorder? Or is it linked to my illness?

Lately I find myself only eating one meal a day, and a couple of biscuits. I like the feeling that I am stopping myself eating because a lot of things are stressing me out, and I am freaking out that I have a swollen abdomen, it looks kind of like a beer belly. I've always been skinny and my skinny clothes still fit, but I find myself not eating because I don't ever want to be fat. I thought that I would never have problems eating because I like food and everyone told me that I'd always be skinny. Food has disgusted me since I started work in a restaurant and I find myself unable to eat very much at all.





I've been having back pain and a sore abdomen since I started taking the pill, I then later found it sore to urinate and according to the doctor I have traces of blood in my urine, but I wont know what's wrong exactly until I get the results back from my sample that was sent to be examined in the lab.





Are these linked in any way? Or am I just being paranoid?

Reply:If a woman has an eating disorder, it definitely disturbs our menstrual cycle. Skipped periods are very common. Early bleeding or spotting may occur because of the malnutrition.


I understand. I too, am eating once a day now and I work at a restaurant too! But I am vegan so I am very aware I may be damaging my body but its a mental battle.


The pill may encourage hunger but I doubt weight loss. The pain may be due to the bleeding in your pelvic area.
Reply:They "may" be linked, but I would wait to hear back from your doctor before acting on anything. I'm sure it must be an awful feeling but if you try to solve the problem before you know what it is, you may make it worse.
