I think the breakup is affecting my health. I'm actually kind of worried about it. I haven't been wanting to eat...I've lost 4 pounds in the last 3 days, and I know that cannot be healthy weight loss....I'm sleepy all the time...I just feel like crying, all day. The only time that I DO feel any better is when I'm around the guy I have feelings for...but he's got his own things to do and I cant be around him all the time and I know my constantly texting him was probably getting on his nerves, so i have been trying to cut back....idk...
I'm just worried about my health. I'm not hungry, and if I eat half the time I get nauseous and throw it up anyways....I don't feel like exercising...I don't even feel like moving...
I mean, 4 pounds in 3 days...that CAN'T be healthy. I don't know if it's just water weight, or what...but I'm honestly worried that I'm going to make myself sick...
I need some miracle cure for breakup pain...and I need it now. lol
Sorry for the long rant, I'm just worried and I don't really know who else to turn to...
Oh... you poor thing. My heart goes out to you. I don't have a miracle cure for heartbreak, and I don't know what exactly is going on with your body (I'm new at this!) but I wanted to let you know that I read your post, and feel for you. I hope someone has the answers you're looking for. In the meantime take care of yourself. *HUGS*
:-( Sorry, things aren't going great right now, don't worry your health shouldn't suffer too much from a few days(weeks) of being mopey. HOWEVER, I'm sure you can guess that eating as best you can and exercising will make you feel better in the long run.
But I know breakups are hard, but it will get easier. Just relax, ease back into your normal routine, you'll get there I'm sure
i know how you feel, i've had maaany heartbreaks, and just the other day my boyfriend wanted to take a 'break' but still be together... the first day was bad! i hardly ate.. and it happens to me all the time when i breakup with someone: i never eat, im always too nauseous, never wanna do anything not even watch tv.. just lie there in bed and do nothing!
but try to keep yourself occupied!!i know it's hard, but it always works!! and if you have to take a day off to indulge in whatever foods make you feel like eating, do it, because after that you'll wake up the next day thinking im gonna change and then get back into your plan, and have a new mindset (it's happened to me)
HUGS!!! My best advise- stay busy. Make yourself get up and exercise, shower, put makeup on and go OUT!!!! Stay busy and let some time pass! Don't let those boys determine your happiness, you deserve to be happy single or taken!

Just let it be what it is and take the time you need. Do your best to eat nourishing meals, but it is totally fine if it is just a little soup and you feel like you need sleep more right now. Breaking up is emotionally draining.
Practice your "maintaining" skills right now rather than your "actively losing" ones.
Yup I almost broke up with my boyfriend last week, but we worked it out. Anyway, I could barely eat for 2 days. I would just pick at my food. Don't let it get to you. Even if you eat slow and pick at it, try to eat something. Remember, its not YOU who is ending, but just a relationship with someone else, opening doors up for many new opportunities for you. You are going to want to feel your best~~
I’m so sorry you’re sad. I know it doesn’t help to say that it gets better with time…but it does and it will. The first few days or week are always the worst. Definitely eat and definitely keep busy. Just find some things that don’t make you feel sick…you don’t want to damage your health.
(I will say…I eat MORE after a break up than any other time! I’m like a monster lol. So I’m a little jealous…but not. You know what I mean.)
Im sort of going through the same thing. My "boyfriend" has plans to move back to PA with his father specifically without me in August. Until then he wants to stay together, and I would be willing to move with him, but he wants to "live alone". So Im giving him his space, removing my stuff from our apt (id been transitioning back to my parents place anyway) and leaving him alone (no texts/calls throughout the day like I used to). On Tuesday, I was upset, not eating, discreetly crying at school, yesterday was hard too. Today wasnt THAT bad though, were technically still together, but well see how that works out. Either way it DOES get easier!
Divine - It happens. It's one thing if you drag this out for weeks on end, but to be honest a few days isn't going to hurt you. I would say as far as the weight loss it could be a few different factors. You may have had some water retention or something of that nature. I weighed 4 lbs heavier this past Tuesday than I do today and I have been eating.
I hope things get better and you figure things out. It's never easy but it most certainly is a lesson in life.
