So, I've known that I've been emotionally and psychologically compromised and weak during this whole breakup. BUT, I didn't notice my loss of appetite until my roommate mentioned something.
I didn't eat for the first 1.5 weeks after the initial breakup. It wasn't because I was purposely starving myself or mad at myself or anything of the sort. I would TRY to eat, but nothing would stay down. My appetite had vanished and my stomach was violently sick anytime I tried.
I weened myself to eventually eat small meals. I now eat, but it's in half portions, and I skip breakfast quite often, but never get very "hungry."
I'm worried only because I've had so many tell me that they experienced "binge eating" during breakups, and after receiving bad news about their exes moving on or doing something low, they'd turn to a bowl of mac n' cheese or a pint of ice cream. I can't even touch the stuff.
I went from being 128 lbs to 119 lbs in a matter of 3 weeks. (Which, when I do the math, isn't really too bad, right?)
So I need your suggestions, experience, and advice. Is this normal? I'm actually eating now, but I still seem to be shedding weight and getting nauseous randomly or losing my appetite altogether at other times. has anyone else experienced this during a breakup?
