When i get really stressed out/anxious my appetite goes south. I have had absolutely no appetite for the past 3 days. Still trying to eat best i can. I think my usual summer time sleeping hours are starting to get the best of me. My anxiety is really high right now and i think i need a good cry.

Do it plushie, CRY...sometimes it's what our body needs to release all the anxiousness we have stored up. It's okay to eat a little lighter during the summer months, as long as you are eating. Small meals throughout the day may be better or you can always reach for a Supplement drink once in a while. Feel better soon. xx

I know what you mean about the summer schedule. It doesn't help that I'm a night owl by nature, but staying up late and then having a kiddo home from school that wakes up early equals not much sleep. When I don't sleep very much, I get very bad nausea and dry heaves in the morning. Even though it sounds counterintuitive, forcing myself to eat a little something like some crackers or a piece of buttered toast really helps. I also keep premade protein shakes like Ensure or Boost in the house so that if I'm having a really rough morning or feeling lazy, I can just grab one of those. Even if I don't have an appetite I can usually get one of those down and at least get some nourishment and nutrients into my system.

Also, like Agora said, just let yourself cry. It's cleansing for the body and soul. If you're worried about someone hearing, jump in the shower to do it.
