Underweight

Asked for Female, 18 Years

Hi I’m 18 years old and I weigh 73 lbs. This has now been my lowest. I’ve always been skinny but not as I am now. I now believe that I do have some sort of disorder. My problem is that I choose not to eat. Not because I will look fat or anything. I used to love having some body shape before. A bit from the behind but now I’m just flat, a “stick”. I don’t really know what’s my problem. I cry everyday now because of the way I look and I hate it that I made this to myself. Can you maybe advice me?
