WORRIED

[hopethishelps1984]

Very worried about myself right now. I have not been able to eat since Sunday afternoon. I had 1 bite of food on Monday and it made me sick same on Tuesday. Luckily I can keep down liquids. I am so stressed right now, my husband and I haven't spoken since Sunday. I am starting to think that this really may be the end of my marriage. Never thought I would have to think about DIVORCE! Needless to say my stomach has been in knots and that's why I can't eat, luckily I am not hungry so at least I don't feel like I am missing anything but i know its not healthy. Any suggestions on how to calm a stressed tummy to allow me to eat even if just a few bites?

my suggestion would be medical canabis its the only thing that has helped me eat and i lost 50lbs due to gastroparesis. Now I've gained 8lbs since i started my prescription. it does cost money but it is well spent, when it helps u function. there's multiple canabis prescriptions, such as pills, vapes, and creams..Best of Luck to u. i know how it feels.

Yes, I have been trying this as well. I had gastric sleeve done 3 years ago, i started using cannabis about a year ago because I couldnt eat and it has helped but it is not helping with a stressful tummy. I can't even make myself get the munchies, my brain and body just dont want any food right now but it has been almost 3 full days since my last food intake and only bad things are going to come if i dont figure something out.

If you buy canabis high in thc it will help you eat but try the high cbd oil will help with pain. If you try the 1:1 ratio it will help with both. i wake up every morning with pain from what i ate the day before i cannot digest my food.I've found it to only be a temporary fix but helps me function.

I would talk to both a doctor and a psychiatrist. It sounds like the gastric sleeve caused some eating problems and these are now being exacerbated by anxiety. It is also possible there is an issue with the gastric sleeve which should be checked.

The sleeve is fine, i have not had any issues with it, its stress from my marriage possibly ending

If you can drink Gatorade or Powerade that would be good because you need to make sure you stay hydrated and keep your sodium and potassium levels up. If you can drink a smoothie or shake I would try that too. Sometimes fruit or crackers I can get down when I’m not feeling well. I hope this helps.

Liquids have not been a problem so I have been doubling up to try to get as many nutrients in me as possible. It just seems to be any solid food. I finally ate a small something last night and 20 minutes later i was running to the bathroom and spent the next 45 minutes there.

Hello and ironically I hope this helps...

I don’t know that it will calm your stomach or not but I can relate to at least part of what you’re going through. I never imagined I would get divorced growing up. It seemed impossible yet here I am. Separated since May and filing for dissolution.

There’s something that society doesn’t want to admit. Religious leaders have pointed for years at statistics that the divorce rate has risen since it became easier to obtain decades ago, but what they fail to admit is that there’s been a drop in suicide, long-term spousal abuse, mental health issues related to marriage and many other positive things.

I say this all for a reason... it’s not my place to tell you what to do and I DONT know your whole story... but I’d like to ask you a question.

If you’re so upset you haven’t eaten in days, and have been thinking about a divorce anyway... would it really be such a bad thing???

I’ve grown to believe a simple fact. Divorce doesn’t mean a marriage ended. It means a BAD marriage ended.

Only you and/or your husband can make this decision. Don’t let anyone do it for you.

No matter what you decide I hope your stomach calms down. I hope that whatever decision you make ultimately brings you happiness. Feel free to message me if you ever want to share your story and I’ll try and find time to check out your old posts and see if I can help.

If you do choose the path of divorce wait maybe 2-3 weeks and then go into my old posts. There’s something there for people going through a divorce but it may not help yet.

Either way best of luck and happiness!

Thank you very much. This definitely helped mentally at least. I have been with this man for 7 years, married for 1 it just doesnt seem fair that after 1 year my marriage may already be over. I am just trying to take it one day at a time right now and i dont want to end up in the hospital for being malnourished. I cannot imagine my life without him in it but at the same time I cannot imagine me staying with a man that is ok with saying and doing the things he does to hurt me.

I too know how you feel!! When my husband told me he wanted a divorce, I froze. I was not able to eat, sleep, isolated myself, and fell into depression. But I had to get out that rut...and doing so...has helped me emotionally, mentally, and physically.

You must take deep breaths hourly. This will def help. And please journal your emotions. What not to do...tell everyone you meet your business or run to Facebook to vent.

Hope this helps! And remember God heals...
