Do I Have A Problem?

Hey everyone... I was looking online for something just like this... a place where I could genuinely ask for advice without being judged. Basically I wanted advice... I am 5'6'' and had weighed about 126lbs. All of a sudden, I got fixated on being super thin and could not stop focusing on it. I went from eating three healthy meals plus a snack or two to eating less than 1000calories per day. On average I eat about 600-800 calories per day. I have been doing this for three weeks now and am down to 115lbs. Is this an unhealthy weight? Is this the behavior of an anorexic person or just someone on a serious diet?? I feel like all day I fear food and constantly remind myself to resist the temptation. I have been feeling really tired and I think it is because I have no energy. I am so confused why this even started with me. I have been so stressed out with student loans and school and work that I feel like my diet is the only thing I can control. What is a normal amt of calories a person my size should be eating? And what is a healthy weight for a person my size??
Thank you all so much for listening... up until now I have never confided in anyone.
Thanks, Nichole

Hey Nicole and welcome to the ed board.
I wondered if you had any idea at all what kinds of thoughts you were having right before you
