    That happens to me too....when I'm stressed or sad my appetite disappears.

    I usually go out with friends for lunch. If I'm having fun and am temporarily distracted my appetite usually reappears and I can have a snack.

    Try drinking a can of ensure.ITs like a meal replacement or a slimfast shake.There are vitamins in them and they are a meal-drink.Maybe these can help while you dont feel up to eating.

    Yeah, I sure did--had some major, very nasty shit come down about 6 months ago, and I didn't eat for the entire time--until just recently.

    I'm only now starting to feel normal, and my appetite is still returning.

    Now I have dreams about eating even more, though I have been eating much more regularly--but my stomach had shrunken considerably.

    I am the same way! I can't eat when I'm bummed. I try to take a multi-vitamin. And then eat something I enjoy, like ice cream or candy. I know that it's super bad for you, but hey... if I'm not eating at all, then I rather have the calories.

    Hope you feel better soon....

    Sorry you're going through drama. Just make sure you get nourishment in you. The ensure was a good idea and make sure you don't get dehydrated as well. Drink plenty of water too.

    Feel better!

    I too lose my appetite when severely stressed. Well, you could always try prednisone--that crap makes you eat non-stop, not to mention gain tons of water weight. (Okay, don't try that.) I'd just try to make sure you eat something, and if you can't eat, try drinking--protein shakes, OJ, milk, chocolate milk, maybe throw in a few pieces of fruit for a smoothie. That way, you're getting nutrition and a cup here, a cup there will add up.

    DO NOT take this unless you need it. It's a prescription, used for various things, but one is to help transplant patients not reject their new organ. It has many many side effects that you don't wanna deal with, trust me. My mom took it for years, and it should only be used when necessary.

    Stick to the protein shakes/jamba juice type things if you can't eat.

    Yeah, I was only kidding with the prednisone--I'm currently taking it for an allergy issue and was referring sarcastically to the side effects. It's nasty stuff. Sure, it made my allergic reaction go away, but I also gained 10 lbs in a week in water, added 5% body fat, and it's all in my face, shoulders and gut (very typical with prednisone use). Now I'm in the gym trying to burn it all off. It also promotes sleeplessness, muscle weakness and low energy. Don't take it unless you have to.

    Also, the more you do eat, the more you'll be able to eat. So if you can stomach some small mini meals ( a piece of fruit or toast, some cheese, whatever) Your body will start to realize it's hungry and you'll be able to eat more.

    Hmmm...it's different for different people. I had prednisone for some health issues a long time ago and it made me LOSE weight (about 25 pounds in 2 months). I went from being sick to being insanely sick and every time they tried weening me off of prednisone and onto something else, the problem would flare up again. After 2 months, I finally go off prednisone, but that was the worst, most miserable weight loss I ever did.

    If you cannot eat, I agree with the protein shakes and fruits/veggies. Make sure you are taking a vitamin...

    I've been like that lately too. I just take more vitamins and drink that Vitamin Water.
