I eat 400 calories a day and do not get hungry. I ate like this for 3 months and only lost 8 pounds. I recently upped it to 1000 calories a day and gained 10 pounds in a month. This is not good because I use to be a little fatty (I was 155 pounds at 5'5" and it took me 2 years to get down to 130 pounds)

Chat GPT thinks my health is in danger, I'm gonna die young, and I NEED to up my calories even if it makes me a little fatty again.

How do I fix this?

Let someone less than 50% body fat calculate your calorie intake.

Is making up stupid shit like this on a Saturday afternoon really the only way you can get other people to talk to you?

According to the laws of Thermodynamics, that is literally impossible

I'm not making anything up. I ate 1 Amy's tv dinners for 2-3 months and lost 8 pounds.

I think my body is in some evolutionary hyper starvation mode. I went through an extremely terrifying Holocaust tier PTSD event where I went from 120 pounds to 150 pounds in a month, and ever since then I've gained weight like crazy anytime I eat normally.

Your metabolism is very slow since you were basically starving yourself. If your goal is to lose weight slowly increase your calories while also adding small exercise, I highly recommend walking to start. Over time you can increase metabolism and also lose weight, even if you eat more. I super slowed my metabolism when I had ana and it took me a while to build it up again.

Assuming it's true and you're counting right etc, I'd start at the calorie level that has you maintaining or slowly losing weight and then try to add 30-50 calories to that diet each week. So if you're eating that 400 calories per day, do that for a week and then eat 440 calories per day the next week, then 480 calories the week after that, etc.
This very very slow calorie increase will gently increase your intake without shocking the system. Takes forever, though. I did something like this last year after a very long deficit that ended in my metabolism crashing, but I started off jumping up the calories quickly, which was a mistake. Still, I ended up rebuilding my maintenance by about 300 calories over a few months.
Try to add whole foods that aren't too hard to digest. At that calorie level, you need the most nutrient-dense food you can get. I'd recommend looking into the vertical diet to get an idea of what a good nutritional base looks like. I personally get a lot more of my protein from beans, lentils, and fish than that diet recommends because I don't do so well with red meat, but it's all dependent on what your body likes.
If you have some PTSD/trauma situation, get treatment for that. The body and mind are heavily intertwined, so a mind in extreme stress will often cause extreme stress in the body. You can leverage this to your advantage with breathing techniques etc to make it go the other way sometimes, so give that a go as well.
