since my ex called a break then dumped me a few days later my eating's been messed up. That was two months ago we split and my appetite just vanished.
Lost mad weight without even trying barely eat till I'm shaking then maybe some cheese. That's all the food I got besides potatoes but those are too much effort rn.
Wanna feel better but I'm stuck feeling guilty and regretting how I acted after when we tried being friends I was just angry and upset at them.
Barely eating or drinking anything lately. My soul's kinda gone even though I've moved on from them romantically the person I was with them is just shattered. Feeling so alone hungry but also not really most I eat is like a can of beans and sausages if I even feel a little hungry.
This stress and depression is hitting hard how do I even go back to eating normal again and how do I act chill outside without my anxiety going crazy especially if I wanna hit the gym but might see them. I'm tired and just wanna eat how did anyone get their appetite back after this kind of thing?

I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you but you’re doing the best you can. Focus on small victories like eating even a little more each day or taking a deep breath.

It sounds like you’re really hurting and that’s okay. Small acts of self care like eating even one bite of your favorite food can slowly bring some comfort.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Stress and depression can make even basic things like eating feel impossible. Be patient with yourself it’ll get easier over time.

Breakups can really take a toll emotionally and physically. You’re doing your best even if it doesn’t feel like it right now try taking small steps, like eating something comforting or light.

man I'm not gone lie. I feel you. I was like that. n some days I just b like open the fridge n b like I don't wanna make nothing. I don't even wanna make a sandwhich. but truth my truth is I saw how I was diminishing away. How I allowed this person this relationship to make me compromise who I was. I said okay I'm hungry? I'm sleepy? I'm not showering? wait but I'm sure they eating good sleeping well showering daily doing life. why am I not worth that. n I had to make a DECISION everyday that even if I didn't feel like doing sum I did it anyway. my willingness to do what I was starting to be unwilling to do. but man I eat everyday my belly out there. if I dont eat it's cause I'm being lazy it's not cause of them no more. this to shall pass my friend. I know it don't look like it now. but your a King Bruh. you are worth it. you deserve to love yo temple. take care of that Thang. cause when it's time to get back out there ya new honey will need tour strength trust me. you got this even when u think you don't. if I can get over them crazy sad dark dark dark days man you can too. I love ya my friend keep ya head up.

@broknflower you will I believe in ya. but when we are in it it doesn't seem that way at all. so I get you. I. speaking from some years of trying to heal . yours is fresh. but like alot of other ppl already said. your doing what you can do even if it's just a small bite of sum. your getting sum in. so you write? draw? play music? or anything. I had to challenge myself. cause even in my depression getting out the bed was a challenge frfr. if I didn't have to work I was in the bed. but just for 10 mins 15 mins I did sum I didn't wanna do. and I laid back down. it helped until I started to do more n more. some days I still get a Lil down n don't wanna do nun but it's gonna get better. That's a fact my friend

I have so much affection for you after hearing that , Sometimes when we are hurt or emotionally exhausted Food or health never stays as the priority.Its like our body and mind just gives up on life and doesn't want to move forward anymore.If you don't want to eat don't eat, It's not so much being hungry that affects you but your stress about what will happen if you keep staying hungry.At the same time, Travel , give your self breath and space to start afresh, go into nature feel your one ness with it, meet more people and be genuinely interested in them than you. The end of every self problem is selflessness with No hidden agenda
