I stopped feeling hungry and went downt to 40kg (1.65m, my ideal weight is around 60kg). I just didn't feel like eating at all.

It took my doctor a lot to find it, as he thought I was anorexic, but when he did, a few pills, and I felt better and full of energy again.

Nah, I don't have that.
I use food as a control thing. Not quite anorexic as I don't have "weight" issues, but pretty much borderline. I just have to force myself to eat, even when I'm really hungry as quite often it's too much of an effort.

I've managed to come through the last couple of (very) difficult months
And I've not killed anyone, not even myself.

I'm approaching normality again.
