I've decided starving myself is the best option to help feel something other than numb. I need some advice on where to start. How to curb hunger. And what things I can eat as to still have some energy

i would worry about you doing this :( i used to restrict my diet as a young teenager - starvation can be very painful at times, and if taken too far, can cause drastic damage to your organs.
if you decide to do this, it might be helpful that you snack small and often. healthy snacks like nuts and fruits will give you little boosts of energy throughout the day :)
feeling numb is terrible - i'm sorry that you're experiencing this - stay safe <3

Before you go down that path, don't. If you think life is hard now, you would be adding panic attacks over 10 calories in a stick of gum, wanting to cry because the number on the scale went up by 0.1lbs, and realizing you can't go out with anyone anymore because it would mean having to eat and please dear god don't make me eat I cannot eat, on top of it. It may seem logical to want to lose weight or starve now, but believe me when I say you will regret every minute of it once you're there. It consumes every aspect of your life. It is agonizing, both physically and mentally. Stop before you get to a point where you can't.
You will be so hungry you think you're going to throw up, so weak you want to (or do) pass out, your hair will fall out, your legs will go numb. You will be too hungry to sleep but desperate to sleep so you don't have to think about food anymore. You will panic if you can't purge or over exercise or are forced to eat. If something doesn't have calories listed, you will cry. It is actual hell on earth. And if you think you have control over it, trust me when I say you won't for long, you mind will be taken over.

There is something called VSED; Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking. You can't have any water at all to make it work. It takes 7-10 days or more and is not comfortable...but it works.
I feel your message so much. I'm trapped in that cycle right now and its fucking hell. I think about food non-stop, freak out over the scale, dreading family gatherings thinking of how to not eat majority of what is being served, counting calories and yes those 10 calories mess with your head. It's hard to get out of this hole i'm in. But ya your words really resonated with me and i hope it can help others from going down this miserable path.
