Thank you guys for all your support. I have a tendency to be a bit irrational sometimes. Well, all the time, really.
I went to the doctor today and she diagnosed me with strep and gave me antibiotics.
Of course this is after I threw up in the shower (unwillingly) while trying to brush my teeth.
WARNING THIS EXPLANATION PART IS REALLY GROSS SKIP AHEAD IF YOU'RE GROSSED OUT EASILY.
So, basically what happened was, I was brushing my tongue, and because my tonsils are so swollen they like attack my uvula when I try to brush my tongue. That happened, and I dry-heaved a bit. Then I actually threw up a bit. But as I was throwing up, the white stuff on my tonsils from strep had hardened, and it was like... Peeling off. I told ya. Gross. So here I am, in the shower, vomiting stomach acid and this nasty white stuff from my tonsils. One of the little white thingys came like halfway off my tonsils and kept poking at my uvula, so I kept gagging and puking.
OKAY GROSS PART OVER YOU CAN CONTINUE HERE.
So, coming from someone who willingly has stuck her fingers down her throat an impossibly high number of times, throwing up when out of my control honestly makes me break down and sob.
Like, not when I've had too much to drink, because that needs to happen. But like, stomach flu and stuff like what happened this morning? I am reduced to bawling.
Now I have antibiotics, and I think they're starting to kick in because there's a lot less white stuff on my tonsils. They still hurt, but I think they hurt more because of the white stuff coming off and the skin (is it skin? tissue?) underneath being raw. So, I can't drink juice because it's too acidic and hurts. Also I've been maxing out on pain meds the past few days I should probably chill with that.
Haven't weighed myself recently, but my appetite is back. Things still taste kind of weird.
On another note, I now have a car! No more walking 30 minutes up an 80 degree incline to school!
Love you guys. Thanks so much for always being here <3

Aww sweetie, that sounds awful, especially the puking part :-/ You poor thing. I've heard that from lots of other girls who deal with purging; that vomiting uncontrollably can be really upsetting. I wonder what the psychology is behind it.
