Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed that at a very low BMI (around 12–13), the longer it persists, the more it seems to affect cognitive abilities. For me, I’ve noticed increased panic, restlessness, and a general sense of fear about life. I’ve also observed that phobias can develop, impulsivity can increase, and OCD-type behaviors or intrusive thoughts seem stronger.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I’m curious about whether these kinds of mental and cognitive changes are common with prolonged extreme low weight.
I am currently eating 950 calories and would love to increase without gaining but I truly don‘t even know anymore if you can maintain that bmi with 1200 calories while being active.. just confusing
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
