Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are just 17 years and I can strongly think that you are Anorexia Nervosa. Are you? Do you find utmost interest in loosing weight to the point that you just don't eat even the needed food? That is one question I would like to ask you. Secondly, If you wanted to say it might be depression, compare with disappointment. I said disappointment because of two reasons. One is your age (adolescent) in which affair related disappointment is common. Second is disappointment can also bring on symptoms that resembles clinical depression. You may consult a psychologist for counseling and proper diagnosis. Take care.
