Can't eat anything?

[Tay171]

How do people cope with this I literally can't eat anything without feeling sick or full up after so little. Feel physically sick. I just got out of a long term relationship as well and the thought of accepting that makes my physically sick as well

H Ct17, two things are going on. The loss of your long term relationship as well as just the thought of accepting it is making you physically sick to your stomach. The reason you are feeling full after eating so little is because you are swallowing a lot of air because of your anxiousness. In order to avoid that sick, full feeling, it might be better for you to have small meals throughout the day. Sip on some ginger ale with your meals which will help with the air you are swallowing. Of course, therapy can help you get your feelings and emotions in order. I'm sorry for the breakup, sometime life hurts. Wishing you well.

You know the saying, "Listen to your gut'? Well it is not just a metaphor. When your stomach is playing up it is often trying to tell you something. When my ex was cheating on me I was getting bloating and stomach pains. When we broke up and I had the chance to start eating only what I needed, when I needed it, and also was no longer stressing over him, my stomach miraculously got better. I also lost a lot of weight. So first, try to be kind to your stomach by not eating things which are hard to digest, eat little and often, and avoid food and alcohol which might aggravate your feeling sick. Give your body a break by destressing in other ways, like taking more exercise and a bit of pampering. Also, try to work out what is bothering you mentally. Gradually it will come together.
