What Causes Weak Hair, Stomach Cramps And Depression While Dieting?

weighing 14st, i started a diet in January. When the first few pounds dropped off i became obssessed. Dropping calories, weighing myself 3 times a day, dropping even more calories. My friends started to worry bout me, said i was getting to thin, but i isolated them, i isolated everyone. My husband said I was fine the way I was, but I could only see the girl who I was before the diet. I started to take laxatives and other things to help and I just cant stop. Since the diet started I have lost a total of 5st, everyone says thats drastic. Now my hair is strawlike, always cold, suffer with cramps in stomach, always get headaches and bad depression i have thought bout suicide on more than one occassion. Please help. have I got an eating disorder?

Hello,
You seem to have anorexia.
The hair fall which you are having is because your body is not getting proper nutrition.
I think you should start with tablet paroxetine 25mg in night daily. This will relieve your symptoms.
Start taking fruits and non-fatty food to avoid fear of getting fat. Take food in small quantities but in short intervals.
You wil feel better.
Thanks.
