They Asked Me About Appetitie and if I Feel Like Crying?

My family hae turned on me.

They've put me through a devastating past few months.

I approached one of them about it and they said there was nothing wrong but they asked me 2 questions during the period of time I was discussing their problem with me.

1. Have you lost your appetite?
2. Do you feel like crying?

I'm really worried their problem is something to do with the accusing me of something health related.

Why would they ask those 2 questions then after I said appetite was fine but I did feel like crying - one said to the other "See it has returned".

??
 
Sorry but the info here is really vague. Is the concern that *you* may have something going on or is the concern that a family member might have something going on?

For example, were they asking you those questions because they themselves have an eating disorder? Or are they worried you may have one? Or were they asking those questions to see if you were mentally sickened by a concept?

Sorry I'm just not really getting a clear enough picture of what the issue is.
 
"My family have turned on me.

They've put me through a devastating past few months."

Which means they have been accusing me of something and are being very evil.

Then when I tried to get one of them to speak about what their problem is they wouldn't. An instead only asked me those 2 questions.

Make sense now?
 
Not so much. What are they accusing you of? And what do they think has come back?

And since saying "yes" to the crying question seems to start them off on you, why not say "no?"

Rosequartz hits the nail right on the head. Your family is trying to determine if your are experiencing some type of depressive disorder.
My thought is that you have a past history of depression and you have begun to display some symptoms of a reoccurrance, or you are taking a new medication that has a documented side effect of depression.
Maybe the fact that you are questioning your families concerns is an indication that something is not right and that you should seek out some medical help.
Loss of appetite and just wanting to cry are both signs of depression. They can also be signs of a thyroid problem, so you really should make an appointment with your primary care physcian and talk to him/her about the last few months and how you have been physically feeling.
I do not know your family or what your relationship is with them, but they do sound like they are trying to help.
I hope this helps and that you feel better soon.
 
This is much different than trying to help.

I've even been alerted to thier antics by an old friend as he heard from a source something isn't right about what they're thinking of me.

I picked up on the questions meaning that maybe they were trying to pin point depression but they are the cause of it.

Though what I wondered is why would they all stop talking to me. And also almost sanction my death which didn't happen when it was supposed to but I do believe they're still gonna choose to have that happen.

That is unless I get to the bottom of what the problem is. So is why I came here for help and support and you are all great for answering my questions.

What would cause depression that would make them not like me?
 
It sounds like they think you might be clinically depressed. Loss of appetite and feeling like crying are two of the symptoms.

Other signs are: Feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, loss of interest in daily activities, sleep changes, irritability or restlessness, loss of energy, self loathing, concentration problems and unexplained aches and pains.

If you think they might be inquiring in order to determine if you are depressed, then I think they are probably doing it out of love, not to make life difficult for you.

EDIT: I see this was already addressed. So my question now would be- why do you say they are the cause of your depression, and why do you think they don't like you? Sometimes when someone is depressed they think people don't like them or don't care but it's not really true, it's just the way the depressed person is perceiving things. Like looking at the world through gray colored glasses, so to speak.
