Growing up, I've expierenced some weird changes to my eating habbits. I am a very tall girl so I always have to make sure I'm eating enough cause the taller you are, the more you gotta eat.
well i have this problem where i get too hungry to eat. i read online that a lot of people get this after they are sick. thats not my problem. I get this everyday. no exagerations.
when this first came about, it happened every month or so. Now it happens all the time.
my mom tells me i should eat when im hungry. makes sence huh? well there is only this veeeery small time frame where i am hungry and able to eat. that is usually during the most inconvinient times ever! not only that but this hunger pain accures every morning. So to solve that i tried eating before i go to sleep. but by the time i wake up, my blood sugar is already dangerously low

i am 17 years old
and in 3 weeks i lost substantial weight unintentionally.
and it keeps dropping.
i was and still am under the normal weight for my age, but i am losing soooo much weight because i physically can not eat!
anytime i make myself eat i gag, get light headed. and ive fainted 5 times in the past year due to low blood sugar

why?!?!
i cant stress how many different types

A few things stick out to me from your post.

Eating when not hungry and the rapid weight loss.
What I would try (and actually, what I have to do too) is pick regular times to eat, hungry or not. It doesn't have to be much, even half a peanut butter sandwich. Eating at regular intervals will not only help your blood sugar, but it will also help regulate your appetite (or lack thereof.)

The other thing that I'd suggest is speaking to a registered dietician/nutritionist. I know that mine has been incredibly helpful in so many ways!

Don't let this slide, though, whatever you do. That much weight loss in that short of a time frame is really not good for your body at all, and could lead to more challenges down the road. A dietician, or at least your doctor, could help with the health piece.
