One thing I think is worth mentioning before talking about what's happening is that I was ALWAYS fat when I was little.I had many health problems and took a lot of corticosteroid-based medication, which, in addition to making me gain weight, left me with some permanent side effects (such as constantly trembling).
But around my 9th year in school I lost about 20 kilos in about 2 months at most, and that continued to decrease rapidly. In 5 months I was about 6 kilos below my minimum weight. A year and a half later I was 10 kilos below my ideal weight, the amount of weight I was losing started to decrease and it "plateaued" at 17 kilos I'm below the minimum weight for my height. But since I ended my relationship about a week ago, I've already lost another 2 kilos. My psychiatrist said that being underweight for so long is extremely dangerous; besides weakening my bones, my body is slowly devouring my own muscles, including my heart muscle. She's afraid that at any moment I could die of a heart attack simply because my heart can no longer beat properly, as it's so weak
The thing is, I never wanted to stop eating or get to that point. On the contrary, I eat relatively well and even healthily. In fact, my blood/urine tests show I'm extremely healthy. I also got tested for STDs to make sure it couldn't be anything like that, and nothing came up. I don't really know why all this is happening. My doctors have no idea either, and even with supplements I continue to have these problems.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you find out why? I think the only thing I haven't done yet is get tested for tumors. But given how long I've had this, if that were the case, I probably would have already had symptoms
I am currently 1.78m tall and weigh 51kg (5'10" and 112.4 lbs approximately)
