not so good....
i've gotten to become a little bit ocd lately. i have lost a lot of weight and recently reduced my calorie intake to 1000 calories per day. if i go past that, i get frenetic. even if its like 1025, i will start crying.i know it's not a good thing, but i can't help it. it's just how i feel. but, i also work out six times a week. for three days out of the week i do spinning, and the other three i just work out at the gym for two hours.
for this past week, i had a little trouble going to the bathroom. and it's been driving me crazy!! my stomach really hurts. today, i went a little bit, but it's just that i'm going crazy with this. this week, i got a cold. my throat has been killing me. so, i'm trying to take care of both of these things at once. today, i took a break from the gym because my throat was killing me and i ate a little bit of pasta, because they told me that vitamin c and carbs will help me get better a little bit. and, since i'm sick i figured what the hell? u lose weight when your sick anyway, so i might as well have a little bit of something i enjoy.... but i feel sooooooooo bad about it. it's not even normal. it's like i can't eat a piece of cake or i'll start crying! i count all my calories during the day... each and every little thing... even fruits and vegetables....
i feel pretty terrible with my throat that i cant really handle going to the gym today. its like my throat and my ears are stinging... but yet i feel sooo bad because i feel all swollen because of the bathroom issue...
is there anything anyone can tell me that will make me feel better?

When you say "make me feel better", I'm assuming you mean your OCD/eating disorder issues, not your short term throat pain/constipation. If that's what you meant, please specify, and I'll help with that too.
Firstly, you have to stop telling yourself "I can't help it" and "It's just how I feel". YOU are in control above all else, and it's well within your power to eat 1001 (Or preferabley many more) calories and not burst into tears.
What the issue boils down to is controling yourself instead of letting your OCD control you. By no means is this an easy task, and it may not be something you can accomplish alone (Although if you can, congrats! You're uber!). Tell a parent or someone else you can trust. If you feel it would be nessessary, get in contact with a therapist. If you're in Eastern Los Angeles/Northern Orange County (California) area, I can recommend a fantastic therapist for you.
You have to realize that eating only 1000 calories a day isn't healthy at all, and leads to things like the stomach problems you have now. From there, it's "only" an issue of willpower.

only intaking 1000 calories a day is not healthy for any person. i was anorexic, and ended up very sick. my gave me a diet helping me to get back on track. the best thing for you to do would be to go to a doctor and tell him about the problems you have been having, and maybe even see a therapist and talk out the issue of feeling sad about eatting. but if you are so worried about it you should figure out a healthy diet plan, it will most likely be more than 1000 calories, but it isnt going to be making you sick. also try taking a daily vitamin, they will probably help you. your best move would be to go see a doctor, and he/she will give you the best advice. feel better!

Well, I think you know what you need to do. Logically, you can't be very healthy for long if you are only consuming 1000 calories a day. What I would do is schedule an appointment with a doctor to talk about your throat and your stomach issues. LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU'RE ONLY GETTING 1000 CALORIES A DAY. Because if you don't, they might prescribe you something that your body can't handle because you have weakened yourself, and you may become even more ill.
Really the only people who can help you are professionals in the medical field. The people whom you're asking here on this website can't help you (except direct you in the right direction) because the situation is out of their hands and expertise.
