I Have Been Having Very Weird Eating Habit. What Is Going On ?
I am eighteen years old and I have been having very weird eating habits this last year. Some days, I hardly eat anything at all, sometimes absolutely nothing and then other days I cannot stop eating, even when my stomach is full and hurting, I can t stop. What in the world is wrong with me? Then there are some days when I eat normal. Most days it is either too much, or nothing. What is going on?

This seems to be problem with your mind rather than your stomach. You should consult a psychiatrist.

Well I'm not eating because I don't want to, it is my apetite that keeps changing. I love food, ask anyone I know. My apetite just keeps fluxating all the time

Yes sir, my ma has it... I think some of it could be related to body issues. But I don't always purposefully eat like that, my apetite fluctuates badly.
