Thanks for your question, Annie.
Not having a desire to eat may be a symptom of anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder. However, you also say you have feelings about wanting to give up. In combination, these symptoms may be caused by major depressive disorder. If you are having any thoughts about wanting to be dead or to end your life, you should call 911 for emergent psychiatric consultation. If you feel you may be depressed, you should seek out care from a primary care physician or psychiatrist, as there are many treatments for depression including antidepressants and psychotherapy. I hope this helps.
