Sick.

Hey, I'm 16 and I don't eat.
Simple as that. I never get hungry and I never feel full. Usually I just forget to eat
I'm 5'7 and 93 lb's. Something wrong with that!
I've looked it up and have been told I have anorexia-nervosa..
Due to a traumatic childhood of not being allowed to eat enough
Now, I don't know I look at myself and I KNOW I'm too thin but I FEEL enormous
I don't want to get fat. I feel like I'm slowly killing myself but eating or the thought of eating just makes my stomach turn.
I don't eat meat because it's disgusting and it'll make me fat.
I don't eat sugar because it'll make me fat (I'm a teenager and I haven't had a slurpee in 3 years)
I don't drink juice or milk it'll make me fat ( I only drink water)
I don't eat cooked veggies it takes out vitamins
So I only eat
Bread
Salad
Water
And plain cherios with water
What do I do now?
I want to be thin and healthy
Not sick looking and anorexic. :(
