i apologize if this breaks the medical advice rule, i’m just trying to get some insight on this. i have ARFID along with health conditions that have caused me to lose a lot of weight these past few months. yesterday i ate 2-3x as much as i had been for weeks because i got a random burst of hunger, and for the past 24 hours i’ve had extreme fatigue, body aches, and some flu-like symptoms. i don’t FEEL like my life is in danger and i haven’t been throwing up. i think i’d know if i needed immediate help, but i’m still scared. does anyone here have any advice? i may go to the ER just in case but i’ve also been a lot in the past due to health anxiety, so the doctors there don’t take me very seriously

has anyone here had it? i recently went from eating about 400-800 calories a day to all of a sudden being able to eat like 2000. i only did this for 2 days, but i’ve felt really weak/fatigued since then along with body aches and chills and idk if it’s cause for concern or not. urgent care just told me to talk to my specialist who takes up to 48hrs to respond

i live in the US so i’m aware of how privileged it is to be worried about this. everything with iran is scaring the living hell out of me and i’m convinced the world is going to end in the next few days. i know there’s nothing i can do to stop it and im powerless to figuring out when or if it’s going to happen. that doesn’t stop me from being scared. i feel so selfish because we are not the ones bearing the brunt of this. it’s all just making me feel crazy
