Seek treatment NOW: Barely eating due to being self-conscious of your body is a perfect description of anorexia nervosa, a life-threatening condition. Your fatigue is most likely related to your hardly eating & thus being deficient in many essential nutrients. You could have other conditions such as hypothyroidism too. Your condition sounds quite serious. Please seek help from a doctor who treats anorexia right away.
