the troubles of being extremely thin - overactive metabolism

Dicko [Edit] [Delete] 22:03, 30 December '10

okay, i'm going to explain some of the problems i have being extremely skinny through an overactive metabolism rather than a psychological condition.

firstly, there's the hypersensitivity to temperature. like, i spend a lot of my time shivering. even when i do not feel cold, i am shivering. anytime i get out the shower, i am shivering. and the opposite is true. i get too hot very easily, even in the middle of spring.

organ pains. i get a lot of aches and pains in my stomach. sometimes it is brutal. it's like someone stabbing you with a knife repeatedly in the stomach. other organs are affected too. it's almost as if my body stopped growing, and my organs wanted to grow further, so much so that they now crush themselves.

support. there is absolutely no support for this really. i mean you can get weight supplements and i've tried them but they don't really work. anyone you talk to is always "I'D KILL FOR YOUR METABOLISM" or "MAYBE YOU SHOULD EAT MORE" but that's dumb. i eat a lot and it just has no effect.

bodily reactions. a lot of the time, it feels like i'm popping a lung. it really does. it's very hard to breathe sometimes. sometimes i will wake up in agony and distress at just how painful my lung feels.

appearance. my body is awful. i hate how exposed my ribcage looks. i hate how skinny my arms are. a lot of people suffer from thinking they're too fat, but i bet you never thought the opposite was true.

anyway, i am really drunk, and i was wondering if anyone else suffered any/all of these problems. i should get off the internet but i won't.
