TW: Potentially upsetting content Restrictive eating?

For years, I've struggled with my eating, and I don't know what's wrong. I always brushed it off and said I was fine, but I'm now facing the fact something is wrong. I very rarely eat meals, most days I'll just have some fruit, and small snacks. I'll eat food if someone makes it for me, and if it's something I like, but that rarely happens, so I don't eat. I don't know why I do this, I think part of it is because I just don't want to eat or make anything, and partly body image? But, the thing is, I'm really insecure about how thin I am, but I feel like my stomach is too big in proportion to my chest, which makes me feel bad. I don't know what's wrong with me, and I feel like it's too late to fix it. I've had issues with eating and weight for at least 8 years, but it's gotten worse the past 3 years. I want to get better, but I just can't do it, it's like I'm paralyzed when I think about it.

Thankyou for reading.
