I've had a really, really crappy morning, for reasons I don't want to disclose, and I'm just sick with being upset and sad. I can't eat. I'm not hungry and thinking about eating makes me want to gag right now.

I don't know what's wrong, but we're here to "listen" if you need to talk.

[frog0726]

I'm not going to talk about what's bothering me. It's far, far too personal for a public message board. I'm just wondering if I should force myself to eat.

Make sure that you at least eat something, if not your body thinks it is straving, and guess what? It'll hold on to everything that you have eaten. Just a word of advice, hope it helps.

I didn't mean to imply that you have to, merely that we're all here to listen if you find that you need to. And I understand. The internet is an open book. No need to discuss things that are too personal.

I don't think you should force yourself right this moment. But, if you still don't feel like eating anything in a few hours, then you should probaby have something small.

I choked down a protein bar. One of those Slim Fast ones.

I have felt like that before......a trick I've used in the past is to cut up what ever I'm trying to eat into bite size pieces and wash it down w/cool water. It makes it less daunting to have smaller pieces .......might sound silly but it works for me

I was feeling like that last night and felt so much better after I finally did eat.

I have definately felt like that about the whole time I was going through my divorce. I couldn't eat and if I did get something down then it was coming out the other end in a very uncomfortable form. You may very well not be able to eat, but at least try and stay dehydrated - water, chicken broth, etc.

Hang in there honey...it will get better.

[Lovely]

Still thinking of you. Hoping you are feeling better.

*hugs* take small sips of water, and try some green tea. I remember having a similar issue due to stress, and the tea made me feel better.

[frog0726]

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it. I was able to eat some dinner after my day calmed down. First, my kids have been sick (well, 2 out of 3 have been) and then this crap. I'm always like this when I'm stressed out.

I'm so sorry that you are going through something You aren't alone. I agree with one of the other ladies said, today I am having the same kind of morning and what is working for me is i made a small turkey sandwich and im just breaking it in to small pieces and drinking loads of water to get it down. I hope that the rest of the day gets better. And just know you have an entire support system on here if you need a "shoulder"
