Hi. I've been volunteering lately on an economic summit. I saw that as an opportunity to fast, and thus fasted for over 2 days. In the end I fainted and slept for 15 hours. I lost only about 0.6kg (1.3lb) and completely broke down as a result. I decided that I should regain some strength, so I ate something (a salad). I felt so full and disgusting, why did I eat it, I wasn't even fucking hungry?? Now, 2 days have passed, I'm still randomly passing out at night from the exhaustion, even though I'm eating 2 300-400kcal meals a day. What the fuck is going on? I'm monitoring my vitamin intake to be sufficient every single day. Help. I can't learn for school any more, since my brain doesn't seem to work. I eat and I'm still exhausted every single day. I get these suicidal thoughts because of it. I'm useless. Can't do school, can't lose weight, can't think and can't starve. EVERYONE would be better off without me, my life is literally so. fucking. pointless. Why do I bother? What am I doing wrong?

Ate a salad and want to die (TRIGGER WARNING)
okay first of all since you are new you should that we don't give tips on how to starve yourself. second of all, what you're doing is going to get you very very sick. you actually need to eat something, fasting is not efficient nor is it going to make you feel good. a salad isn't going to get you fat. the reason you are exhausted is because you are restricting too low for your physical out put. most people who low restrict are fairly sedentary. you are going to need to up the intake. i'd say start eating between 1000-1200 a day. you won't gain weight, it will be a slow an sustainable weight loss. if you don't eat enough protein you are going to start to get tired. so focus on that. basically the reason why you are exhausted is because you are literally running on empty. we have all been there. but the times i was eating low restriction (200-600 calories a day) i would go to school and then come back. and that is it. there are many factors. also drink water!
