Three years ago I was 5.9 / 6.0 stone, and it was a really unhealthy way to live because I felt constantly drained and weak, I ended up just eating more and more products that contained yeast, along with the nice occasional burger or ice cream, it took me a while, but eventually the pounds began to stack on, however I've noticed that it doesn't work for everyone, though for me, thankfully it did and now I'm 9.2 stone, aiming for 10.
Although that said, it's not food alone that can help you put on some pounds, but going to the gym, working out and maybe doing some weight lifting too can definitely help you with putting on some weight and also making you feel better about your appearance, it definitely boosted my confidence, so it's a win-win.
At the end of the day all you really need is motivation, though.

God, I wish I knew. I've been trying pretty damn hard myself. I've been eating 4-5000 calories a day in 5-10 meals, and I'm still at 104 5'7.

Lifting heavy weight without reaching exhaustion is the only way I ever gained a significant amount of muscle mass with the least amount of effort. There is a book I really like that goes against all body building conventions, "Building The Gymnastic Body". Very little work and lots of gain is my favorite recipe for life :P
Diet is critical though, if you don't eat right you won't be giving your body the nutrients it needs to build flexible and strong muscle.
Or like others have said, you could abuse your body eat tons of bread and ice cream before going to sleep and you would probably put on weight. Unless you have some kinda intestinal disorder :P

I was at 115, but I lost 11 pounds when I started wellbutrin. I've been force-feeding myself to try to gain it back, but it's not working. I didn't plan on taking the wellbutrin long term though. Only been on it for about a month, and I'm planning to come off at the end of this month.
Still, ideally I'd like to be at 125, but I don't think that's possible, even off the wellbutrin. I wonder if I have a thyroid thing going on.

Could be a lot of thing. You can order tests without a doctor through Lef.org and you can get a stool test from metamatrix although that requires a doctor. If you don't want to pay the money to test for anything I would suggest you start with a quality probiotic like VSL #3 or Primadofolous Optima by Natures Way. As quality goes the VSL #3 is better than the Optima. The reason I suggest a probiotic is because if you are not gaining weight after eating a fuckton of food then it's possible your intestinal flora is fucked and your not absorbing any nutrients.

Dude if you are that thin just try to eat as much as you can and as many calories as possible. Make sure to eat lot's of protein too. If you want to see muscle gains you will have to exercise though.
