Unemployed and no insurance

Does anyone know how I can get help with my eating disorder if I don’t have a job and I don’t have any insurance. My mom recently switched jobs so I’m not on any Insurance with her anymore. I live with my parents, but they think I’m being dramatic about my symptoms.

I had a really bad panic attack a few days ago it felt like a bunch of hot air was coming out of my esophagus and i thought i couldnt breathe. My mom took my temperature and the reading came back as 96.7 idk if thats normal or kinda low. But its a weird reading with the symptoms I’m having.

In the beginning of my recovery, I couldn’t sleep under my blanket or I’ll wake up with my heart racing. It’s getting a little better now, but it still happens sometimes. Also, every time that i eat i get hot flashes and my muscles feel funny. I feel terrible in hot weather too and will have heart palpitations if the house is hotter than 76 degrees.

My symptoms seem to be related to heat and Ive been looking through the sub and believe I am going through hypermetabolism from increasing my calories. I read how others go through the same thing but in their case they get really sweaty in their but in my case, it’s like Im not really sweating that much. It’s almost like my body is struggling to cool itself off. It’s weird, but I’m drinking plenty of water and my urine is almost a clear color.

I’m really trying to eat more, but this has been getting worse and worse the more i eat but i feel even worser if i don’t eat.

I want to add that I am currently on my period so that could be why I’m having these symptoms. ( i thought i would lose my period but i guess i didnt ) I don’t know if I should get help and just take the debt or just keep helping myself.
