Stressed out and can't eat.
All this thing with my ex and stuff is stressing me out sooo bad...I have to basically force myself to eat anything. Yesterday I had 2 bowls of soup and I didn't even want to eat it. It's like I start feeling sick when I go to eat. My nerves are really getting the best of me.
Re: Stressed out and can't eat.
You can live for a pretty long time with out eating. Give your body a break... if you don't want to eat you shouldn't force yourself to. In a few days your body will send you enough signals to make you hungry again.
Just relax... take care of yourself. Drink plenty of fluids.

You may want to drink protein shakes, then. Soup (especially store bought) will only make things worse (with MSG, it creates headaches, etc, etc, etc). A good protein shake will give you some vitamins, minerals, and protein that you need.
Another really good supplement (before bed) is a Calcium-Magnesium supplement (in powder form). Really, really helps with stress.

K cool...Thanks for the advice.
BG- really good tips you gave in that thread! THANK YOU!
VG- You just reminded me that I have some banana Ensure drinks in my fridge! I forgot all about those!

Are you feeling any better Lucki? Exs should be marketed as a weigh lost method. I lost 15lbs without even trying. I look much better with weight on me- weeks of pizza got me to where I wanted to be, now heartache took all that away without me even noticing until my pants started to fall off.:-\
Re: Stressed out and can't eat.
Yes PV, I am feeling better!
I've been going out a lot with friends since the ex-bf incident, spending time with family, basically I've been keeping myself occupied.
Me and the ex are friends. He lives about an hour 1/2 away so I never see him, which is probably a good thing but we talk on the phone every now and then to check up on each other.
I'm actually pretty happy right now! :)
Re: Stressed out and can't eat.
If it recurs, try eating pineapple--that supposedly stimulates the appetite.
The protein shakes are a great idea as well. I basically lived on chocolate milk for several months 2 years ago, when events caused me to have a complete loss of appetite. I posted about it here a few times, it was so funny to have a refrigerator packed full of all of my very favorite foods, none of which I had the slightest desire for. The only thing I could bear putting into myself was chocolate milk.
The shakes win over chocolate milk, trust me, but I did survive, lol...
I'm glad to hear you are feeling better As far as the Ex thing goes, one word, four letters:
"NEXT!"
Not that I advocate leaping into another relationship, just that you never rely on any one person of the opposite sex for happiness or self-worth.
Bon appetit!

The only thing I miss about him is companionship. Like having someone to watch movies with after work or just having someone around period. But I DON'T miss feeling like shit all the time, so yeah...NEXT! :)
