I have been depressed over the past few weeks. lately i have stopped eating.

(i fell for my best friend and she hops from guy to guy constantly. she sucked off some guy she had gotten with a day or two before. i confessed to her today. i got rejected.im a girl as well,i hadnt liked a girl before and i felt sickened by my feelings for her.)

ive lost a lot of weight from not eating. whenever i have food in front of me i feel like being sick, just the thought makes me gag. what can i do? is it normal for depression to have this effect?

    Yes been there and done that. But you need to realize this person is having a profound negative impact on you and your life. Nomatter what, they are not worth you compromising your health by not eating. Don't let others affect you so much. Develop a tough skin and live your life.

    Yours is a typical case of separation anxiety disorder anorexia nervosa.That's what traditional psychiatry says.I guess you also tend to be a person growing easily attached to lovers.And having some troubles finding new ones after the separation occurs.
    I suggest you buy yourself a dildo or a schnauzer.
    Or both.You won't be disappointed.

    Are you sure you didn't stop eating just to lose weight so she would find you attractive again and eventually get into some serious scissoring?
    My friend here says:You can do better girl!
    Anyway,your malnourished state can result in serious medical implications.Such as a catastrophic B12 deficiency.You'll probably soon start binge eating and self inducing vomit.If you don't feel like eating at all at least buy yourself some vitamins and other supplements.Or you can just stop giving a crap about what you think other people you wanna sleep with think about your body shape and get your goddamn schnauzer.
    Anyway,yes,depression can manifest itself in a variety of ways,so it's not normal but it sure is one of the usually associated symptoms.

    Totally normal, been there and lost a lot of weight too. Try eating little and often, and also bulking foods, like using full fat milk instead of semi and having cheese on toast instead of just toast. Adding a few
    Extra calories here and there without eating large meals helps keep the weight up.
