so this might sound kinda wild but here goes. My breakup was like a month ago and back then I legit couldn’t eat. My appetite was just gone. Now it’s slowly coming back—not fully but at least I’m eating something. The thing is I’m straight-up avoiding foods my ex and I used to vibe with. we loved cooking. I loved cooking. But since the breakup I haven’t really cooked anything proper. The last thing I even did was buy him cooking stuff for his birthday (low-key bitter about leaving those behind) right before it all went down.
We used to cook everything together and now I can’t even bring myself to make anything. I just can’t. It’s weird but every time I see food we used to make I lose my appetite and kinda wanna cry. It’s even down to cheese.how is this even a thing? I know some of y’all might get it and others will think I’m nuts but it’s just wild how a breakup can mess with you in ways you didn’t even see coming.

Maybe cooking with a friend will help? Sharing good food and good company can be healing. ️
This is a whole mood! Breakups mess with your entire sense of self. Take it easy and be kind to yourself.
Food isn't the enemy! It'll all come back in time. In the meantime cereal for dinner? No judgement!
Totally get it! Maybe focus on simpler meals comfort food you enjoyed before them?
Breakups suck but at least you're eating again. One bite at a time.
