Boyfriend needs an answer

Hello all

For the last .... 3 months I have had problems with metabolism.  It started not long before I moved back home in October, I lost my appetite and found myself not eating for 20+ hours unintentionally.  As a result I was feeling very cold and tired.  For month at home (to until just before new year) I was sleeping 12+ hours a day with naps in the day, I was constantly cold to the point where I had my duvet around me everywhere I went in the house.  I still found it hard to eat.

Since then my sleeping pattern has shifted and has improved slightly, I am still sleeping 12 hours a night but I sleep during the day maybe once or twice a week instead of everyday.  But my eating is still a huge problem, more so then before.  I can't eat breakfast and I often don't eat until midday, no matter what time I wake up.  I have a small lunch that lasts me until the evening when I waste half of my dinner because I start feeling really sick when my stomach is almost full.  I don't often snack but when I do it's during the night.  My intolarence to cold still exists, I still get fatigued and I am finding it really hard to concentrate and process information, to the point where I want to say a word or name and I can't speak!

My boyfriend is getting annoyed.  I don't want to see a doctor because like anything (like my kidney stones at the beginning of last year) it goes away and I feel like a prat wasting his time again.  My boyfriend is thinking the worst at the moment and suggests I see a doctor because it could be cancer.  I don't have any common symptoms for cancer, or gastro diseases.  I have anxiety but it hasn't been an issue for ages.  I'm not pregnant because I'm still having periods.  It's psychological because I want to eat, I just can't because I feel really sick if I even attempt to fill my stomach (now he thinks I'm anorexic).

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Its time to go to the doctor and get it sorted out i would say. i think you are wasting time by not going where you could be having fun with ur bf. There could be a medical reason why it comes and goes but i really think you need to see a doctor

It won't let me edit the post but I was meant to say "It's NOT psychological because ...."

Oops
