The last few days I've been very weak. This morning my vision went blurry and than everything went black for a few moments. I could barely stand and I'm so tired I'm almost falling asleep. Like I said I almost fell asleep on Jed's lap at the dance on Sat. I'm also so cold lately all the time and more so after I eat. I just don't understand why i'm feeling so weak. I have no energy.

Also I need to find away to be better for me and Jed. I don't think. That's one thing I need to change but I don't know how. I'm looking up ways to make things better and I know that I have to work on my self-esteem and I'm doing that but I really need to learn how to stop, think and not jump to conclustions.

When you eat what are you eating? Is it enough to sustain your body? Also have you checked to make sure these aren't side effects or your medication? Call the doctor and ask don't just look it up. You're also anemic correct? Have you been taking any iron suppliments because if you're anemia gets worse it can cause these symptoms.

With Love

Ok first seriously, call your doctor and let him know how your feeling it may be the medication. Secondly tell him about the anemia. You may be eating enough your body my just not like the anemia and meds or another combination.

I am with Z, I would call your doctor as well. I think maybe with the diet you are following it may not be providing your body with the nutrients it needs. Please don't let this go, it's not normal to have blurry vision or blacking out. May be a combination of things. Please take care of yourself. Hugs,Ann

Cassie hun I would get checked out if this continues. I have anemia and if it gets bad enough it can cause these symptoms. And even if it is not that something is not right. Maybe something minor but it would be best to find out. You sure don't want to black out and get hurt hun.

Cassie precious little sister, Please hold on extra tightly right now! You have made such progress- so keep up the good work as know you can, make yourself feel proud- be your own best friend in resisting the temptation to cut your beautiful self please.

Have you seen a doctor to discuss your nutritional needs- hope so, or at least speak to a nutritional specialist?

If you feel like this then you need to talk to someone who maybe is either a professional or is impartial or even be your own life coach- yet do whatever it takes to get over this hurdle for you are far far far too precious to cause your lovely self any harm.

Write poetry- write your feelings down. Distract yourself. Talk to Jed. Just do whatever you need to do so you can make it through this without hurting yourself.

You need to eat a balanced diet. Worried that you are not eating enough that you feel so weak.

Praying big time for You right now sweetpea.

Hold on tightly. Praying that angels as well as earth angels keep you safe.

Much love to You, gentlest of hugs from your big sister Clarita
