Ht. 5'4", Start: 163 lb, Today: 136 lb (BMI %tile: 90), Goal: 120 lb - I have a huge depression. I was just tested fro depression and it came back positive. I lost 4 pounds this week. I can't eat. I haven't in 6 days. Even sticking something in my mouth makes me gag. Only my bff knows that last part. I can't even drink water. If I do, I puke, and i'm not even hungry, though. I'm starting zoloft in a week, but
I don't know what to do untill then. None of my jeans fit anymore. I can't sleep. Yesterday in school, I actually fainted walking down the stairs. On wednsday ( I love running, I'm on Cross Country) I actually fainted during the 1 mile run. They wanted me to go to the hosital, but I wouldn't let them. I don't know what to do. My body's so screwed up right now. I haven't slept in over a day. PLEASE HELP!!!

It's common with clinical depression to lose your appetite and to develop insomnia, but you REALLY need to see a doctor, because they have to give you fluids and nutrients SOMEHOW or you could die.
As for going on the Zoloft, be patient. Zoloft is the fourth medicine I've had to try. It may be right for you, or it may not have much of an effect.
Just hang in there. I'll pray for you!
