Period missing for nearly a year?

Hello! Sounds like your friend Layla has some issues and the only way she can get better is to go see her doctor. From what you have described, it sounds like she could have a thyroid problem. The thyroid is a gland which is located in the front of your neck. When our thyroid doesn’t work right, it can affect your weight, if you don’t have enough thyroxine you can become overweight, too much thyroxine and you can be very thin. Thyroxine regulates your body weight. It also affects your periods, can affect your mental well-being and depression. Your friend Layla should run not walk to the doctor. The other problem with her nosebleeds should also be seen by her GP. It sounds like she may have nose polyps which would explain why her nosebleeds last so long. If your friend does go to the doctor, this could change things for her well-being and her self-esteem could improve. She would feel better about herself. You say that she doesn’t eat much, but what we eat affects our well-being too. If she only eats candy bars, or potato chips instead of fruit and vegetables this affects our metabolism. If you’re not feeding your body the right foods then you will gain weight because your body is trying to preserve itself and your metabolism will slow down. It’s best to eat 5 small meals a day which are healthy, rather than to eat only one meal that has no nutritional value. Hope this helps you and your friend! Take care.
