Sick and Cranky...

Alexis the tiny-
I pick up on repeated references to weight and eating... someone you know suggesting you gain weight, certain days that you say you 'can't eat at all', dizziness, fatigue, and your saying that you are trying to gain weight.
Pushing one's body to 'train' and exercise more and more while not giving it enough nourishing food and calories to build muscle and maintain good health can result in serious illness that will also show effects including dizziness, 'incredible tiredness', sleep problems, getting frequent colds and flus, etc.
I hope you are smart enough to try to get further professional help for these issues and help in managing your anxiety levels. Good luck to you on your quest for wellbeing, young woman. :)

I've found yoga very helpful -- and it doesn't take much. I had constant minor ailments when I was stressed by serious illness in the family. Yoga really helped. Good luck!

BleeckerSt Girl, yes, until last year, I was on the scale of being severely underweight due to a combination of genes, having been a very sick kid and some issues with control. Training is actually great for me because I can channel my energy into something more productive like making sure I'm eating well and making sure I'm gaining some weight every week or so. I have a therapist I've been working with for 3 years and I'm still seeing her. It makes alot of difference having professional help when it comes to anxiety management.
