I don't think I have an eating disorder, and I've been told again and again that I'm not depressed.
When I was younger, I couldn't eat all that much because of some neglect, and so my body got used to not eating very much for a few days, at least. I once nearly collapsed in grade eight because I hadn't eaten for two weeks, but that was the worst of it. I've never been bulimic, but people have asked if I'm anorexic.
For the past six months, I had started to eat healthily, and was starting to feel really healthy.
But then a little over week ago, my girlfriend of nearly 20 months broke up with me. It was a shock. And since then I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly. I don't know what to do because a councillor won't see me, the ones at school don't know how to deal with this. I simply don't have the urge to take care of myself. I don't eat. I don't feel the hunger anymore, and only eat when my intestines growl. And even then, I don't, at times... What should I do?

I think even though you're in shock over your break up, you should try and make yourself eat 3 meals a day.
I know you don't have much motivation to look after yourself right now,but if you're not eating right you will end up depressed. If you force yourself to have 3 small meals a day your mood will improve as well as your health.
It can be fun planning out meals, and drinks. Maybe if you've been eating well for a week, then treat yourself- buy something nice as a well done. Keep going and see improvements in your body! It will take a while for the weight to go on probably but it will be worth it for your health, self esteem and happiness in the long run.

I don't think this is an eating disorder, although there may be an underlying physical cause for this. You should probably go and see a doctor.

When i'm upset I also tend to eat less, and I always have done even before I have an eating disorder. I just sort of start to feel sick when I do try to eat so that's pretty normal, although you should try and eat.
