I feel like i'm going to puke but not sure why.

(Backstory)
Just before school ended my dad got a call from the Guidance Councillor saying that due to my low self esteem and high suggestibility i am more prone to Ed's, Self harm, substance abuse and anxiety. So now i'm being watched very closely. Bit late for that 3/4.

I haven't eaten in a few hours. I don't feel hungry but feel sick, as in i feel like i might vomit. If i throw up dad will hear and and accuse me of having an ED (i do but i can't deal with him knowing now).

I've felt like this before, sometimes i just need food other times it's the flu, how can i tell.

Oh i just noticed that this will make no sense if i don't say why i need to know how to tell.

It's because if i have the flu or an allergic reaction to nuts (flu like symptoms)
eating will just make me feel like shit and give me more to throw up.

But if i need food i could eat something safe and run harder tomorrow (i wish i could go running now but it's really late.)

Well in my experience the difference is that not eating makes you sick in a slightly different way. Flu symptoms are usually acompanied by fever or maybe headach. Problem with this is that malnutrition also has symptoms with head aches and dizziness along with the flu or even common cold. If you are allergic to things like nuts then I know you know to stay away from them. The difference isn't always obvious but I guess try and pay more attention to your body. Sorry if I wasn't much help but I'm always available to talk.

I would explain to your dad waht's going on. So he doesn't think you're puking just to puke. I am sure he'd understand.
