Recently I have just not been hungry enough to eat anything. And I'm starting to feel weak and am getting alot of pains inside me, like chest pains. I feel drowsy and my lower back aches. But I just cant bring myself to eat a full meal.

Not eating...
-
Are you doing anything to address your depression? Do your parents know that anything is wrong? No matter what the size of your village is, you need to get professional health. Suffering just doesn't make sense.
-
even though im not eating, I swear I'm getting fatter. My parents tried to sit me up at the dinner table and I just coultn eat. I had to cause an arguemnt so they would send me away from the table so i could scrape my food into the bin.

You should go to a doctor, there are a number of problems that could cause that. Sounds to me like it could be thyroid. Are you feeling more groggy and tired than usual in the morning, or in general? Do you have less energy and get cold easily?
-
even though im not eating, I swear I'm getting fatterYou understand that you're saying you're anorexic, don't you?Edit: RobBob made a good point, about the thyroid. Keep in mind that anorexia means that you're not eating. Anorexia Nervosa is the condition where don't eat and your self image is distorted. In any case, you're not going to figure this out yourself. You need medical attention if you are not eating.

Im not anorexic.. I am getting fatter. And yes, i keep getting freezing for no reason.
-
Definatly get some sort of help, and in the meantime if you can get yourself to drink something drink a protien shake or something of that nature. You need to get some form of nutrients.
-
whats a protein shake??
-
When you say you're getting fatter, you've gone from what weight to what weight?
If you're not eating and you are not losing weight (measured by a scale!), than you might very well have a hormonal issue (probably an underactive thyroid (hypothyroid)). That can be figured out with a simple blood test. By teh way, it can definitely affect how you feel, and your moods.
-
I dont use scales, i can see my weight in the mirror. Scales just confirm my fears. Im not miniture, im NOT anorexic.
-
now ive just started crying for no reason.. and everyone around me seems happy. I feel really left out in everything, forum's.. at school.. at home. My mum puts anyone before me, even other peoples children. Argh now im so fucking down again!
-
i can see my weight in the mirror. I see.> Scales just confirm my fears.That's not very rational. You know this.> im NOT anorexic.If you're not eating, you are anorexic. That is the definition of the word. Why you are not eating is a separate issue.> Im not minitureIt doesn't matter what your physique is. You are not eating and you are not menstruating. If your weight falls below a certain threshold, you will stop menstruating.The bottom line is that something is wrong. Do you agree with that?
-
well yes.. I usually am constantly hungry. My parents are soon going to realise something is up.
-
So are you just going to suffer in silence and act mysteriously?At first you said...> Recently I have just not been hungry enough to eat anything.Now you just said...> I usually am constantly hungry.Are you saying that you're normally really hungry, but now you're just not hungry? It's probably because you're depressed.
-
Hun if your not eating and claim to see your weight gain in a mirror that just yells out eating disorder to me. Get some help sooner rather than later. Depending on the last time you ate or drank and the amount of time you had already gone without eating there is a very, very slim chance you gained weight. Since after having gone hungry for awhile your body tends to hold on to whatever it gain get. But this situation sounds highly doubtful when I consider what you've been saying in your posts.

Last time I ate a full meal was three days ago. I havent drank anything for 2 days either. Yesterday al I ate was a piece of bread and a little bit of my dinner, about 3 slices of carrot and one potato.
-
ok, look, you are old enough to know that you SHOULD eat AND drink, you are not a baby who needs to be told when to eat and drink. Surely you see this as a symptom of something else?If you don't start to eat, the feeling of tiredness and lack of energy will get worse, until its really too much to go on with your life as normal, going out with friends etc......not to mention the damage you will do to your body....... If a freind of yours had told you this what would you say to her?
-
To eat something, but I cant.. because when I eat just a tiny bit I feel sick and have to stop eating. If I ate a whole meal I would be sick.
-
then don't eat a whole meal. eat something small, a few times a day and build up your strength and your stomachs tolerance for food. You can do this, you dont' want to look and feel terrible do you? As for how you see yourself, that has to be addressed. There is no point us trying to guess how you see yourself, since we have no idea what you look like! However your user ID confuses me, if you have such a low opinion on yourself, the ID doesn't fit! If i was your mum, i would want to know what you were doing, and why you were feeling like this hon, seriously.
-
its the user ID i use on all forums. Its the easiest way of remembering my ID for everything, to keep it the same. And ive had it for like 3 years or sank.
