I've been pretty ill recently so my housemate dragged me to the doctors univrsity health service on friday. they think i have an infection so they gave me antibiotics etc.
But because of the massive medical history of my family and also my old issues (had treatment for an ed a year and a half ago) the doctor decided to do a swab and blood test.

The results show that i'm anemic, have low magnesium, potassium and sodium. also that my blood pressure is very low and my heart is slow.
and sometimes i get palpitations.
its quite obv what it is.
however this time i'm scared. hes warning me that if i continue, soon my kidneys are going to start to fail.
but i just can't seem to eat. i have no food in the house atm and i can't remember how to cook or what food i'm suposed to buy. i don't know what to do.

what the hell do normal people eat? what type of foods am i suposed to cook? i'm confused.

Start out small and work your way up. Make sure to eat a lot of veggies and fruits so you can get all the nutrients that your body needs. The thing to remember is to start out small so you don't make yourself sick. Just be safe and remember to eat.

Start slow hun and build up. Don't worry about what normal people would eat to start with, you need to ease your body back into being used to have food.
Buy porridge/oatmeal, you can make it with milk or water depending on what feels safe for you. It's a good source of protein,fibre and carbs. It's also very easy to cook (microwaveable) and you can add things such as fruit/jam etc if your feeling brave.
Yoghurt would be another good thing. It's gentle on your stomach and full of calcium which is important because being at a low weight can really affect your bones.
Any kind of fruit or vegetables are good, beans of various types also make good meals when made into soups/stews.
Also maybe get some cereal bars in, they're handy to grab when you can't be bothered to prepare things.
Look after yourself hun, it sounds like your on the verge of becomig very ill.

thanks guys. its just stressy trying to remember what food i've got to eat. thanks for all the tips!

yeah possibly. the health service has always freaked me out a bit. whenever they look at my file its a "oh right..." type thing.
the last nutrionist i saw gave me ridiculous things- its like i'm a student i can't afford all the things they suggested i eat.
