ITT: Discuss eating disorders.

Feel like writing about myself. This is going to be about my complete loss of appetite.

---

Alright, so the reason I want to talk about this is because I don't ever talk about my health with anyone. Probably because I don't talk to anyone. This loss of appetite could become a problem in the future. Perhaps it already is a problem. Maybe there's an underlying problem causing the loss of appetite. I can trace back the symptoms to January. I don't ever talk to anyone about it, but back in January I had an epileptic seizure. That I know of, that's when it all started. I've had trouble sleeping and remembering to eat since then. It wasn't untl this past month that I realized the gravity of the problem. I realized that I eat only out of habit, albeit sometimes for pleasure. I'm never actually hungry. The way I discovered this was when I was tampering with my daily schedule so I could fit more work during the day. It was the second semester of school and at times it was necessary to make adjustments.

So I'd find myself thinking "Alright, you need to complete x amount of work. You're not sleeping tonight. Sleep is postponed until after you come back from school." Obviously, this throws off everything. Everything I do is moved to a different time of the day. For a normal person, things like eating and sleeping are done naturally. They don't need to remember to do it, they feel either sleepy or hungry when they need to do those things. They don't need to rely on forming habits to do things like eating or sleeping.

I'm not like everyone else. When I decided to change my schedule to work more, I also broke habits in the process. That's when I realized there was a problem. I didn't figure it out at that moment, obviously. It took a while to figure it out. What happened was that I broke the habit of eating at a certain time, I went about my day doing other things, and all the while my attention was somewhere else. When I found out there was something wrong was when I was feeling starved. But I didn't feel hunger. I felt the effects of having been starved. Exhaustion. Lethargy. Migraines. Not hunger. When I started feeling sick, I had to ASK myself what I'd done in the past couple days to feel so terrible. It took a while, but eventually I realized I hadn't eaten anything in the past 30+ hourse. That's usually how long it takes for symptoms to show up.

I've been trying to be more careful, but in the past couple weeks I've had slip ups. There's been a couple occasions where I go over 30 hours without food in the past month alone. My biggest fear is having to visit the hospital again in a catatonic state. If that happens again, I'm getting labeled as an epileptic loser for the rest of my life and then everything goes to .

Does Carlos die in the end?

Go see a doctor or something.

Lol, F that. I'm not labeled with anything yet. At my age, I realize the negative consequences of being labeled with things like ADHD, Autism, epilepsy, and whatever the hell else I have.

As far as anyone else knows, I'm highly functioning and a genius (lol) and JUST that. No one needs to know the ugly side of the truth.


But yeah, we ain't living past 60, man.

Boy, I'm staying as arrogen as I've always been. (In other words, not arrogant at all.)

I'm not dying yet either.

Where's Alpaca? She needs to lend me the power of tumblr.
