I think I'm developing an eating disorder. The last several months have been really tough for me emotionally, and I can't eat when I'm upset. Now, I feel like I can't eat anyway, even though things are getting better in my personal life. I feel like if I know I should be eating more, I should be able just to eat more. The solution seems simple....so why can't I just make myself eat?

because what's going on in your head can really affect how your stomach acts and if you feel like you can eat. one summer i was subconsciously very nervous and could barely eat anything at all. you could always talk to someone or get help. it's not something to be ashamed of.
replace "can't eat" with "eat", and "more" with "less" and this is my secret.
A similar thing happened to me during a break up a few years ago. I really wanted to eat, but my stomach was in knots all the time and I had trouble keeping food down. I discussed it w/ a counselor, who helped me work on stress/dealing w/ the break up... hang in there!
because when you are overwhelmed and upset and nothing is going right, subconsciously, you have control over what you put in your mouth. everything else may be going to hell or all over the place, but that's the one area of your life that you still have complete control over
