I think I may have an eating disorder. I have eaten once in the last 32 days, and even then I immediately made myself sick. I am suffereing from depression just now and feel like I have control over nothing else apart from whether I eat or not, that's something that no-one can make me do. I was sexually assaulted when I was younger and it all came out a year and half ago, not through choice. I've felt very isolated by my familys response to this.
I have spoken with my doctor and psychiatrist about the length of time it has been since I've eaten but they don't seem concerned. I also told them about how I am self-harming but they also didn't seem concerned about this.
I am currently waiting on an appointment with the psychologist but they apparantly have a long waiting list. I have to go back to the psychiatrist in four weeks. I know that I can't go another four weeks without eating but have no idea how to eat without feeling a failure and that I've lost control.
I am also currently feeling very dizzy and light-headed with constant headaches. I am unsure if this is due to the not eating but i have had to stop my anti-depressants because of this.
I just don't know where to turn now.

I'm stunned that your doctor and therapist were not concerned about your eating. An eating disorder is by definition a disorder when you do not eat normally, so you do need to seek out help. If anything try to see someone as soon as possible who can help you eat. Is there a different doctor or therapist you can go to?

You have an emergency here and i am shocked that no one is treating it as such. I am slso surprised that you still have enough energy to get out of bed in the morning. If you don't get some help immediatly, you will get sick due to lack of nutrients. I am cluless to how you have maintained this long without proper nutrition.
Don't wait 4 weeks, get yourself to the hospital and tell them you are self harming, they will probably admit you, which is what you need.

My friend hasn't eaten for four days. How many days can you go without eating before you pass out?
