Stopped Eating

I have lost my appetite for anything.  My boss made the comment that I was looking very thin yesterday.  As I sit and type this, I have no appetite-I had to force myself to eat a breakfast bar this morning and had no joy from it at all other than I felt guilty for eating it.


I cooked dinner last night and tasted nothing.  Everytime I eat I just feel guilty.  I have not heard from Joe since I told him I had hope that I would marry again.  I think he took this as since I am living with Roomie, that Roomie and I are getting married.  I doubt that I will hear from him at all.


Actions speak louder than words, when I left he did not try and stop me, when I met him at the cable store to have cable transferred out of my name, he did not stop me.  And, he hasn't expressed any desire to do anything about losing me which tells me maybe he never cared-maybe I was just convienient at the time since Covid was strong and I was there to pay the rent.  I think he forgets about these times, or he just didnt care.  


This morning I made a mistake.  I went straight to my boss and told her that Iwould fix it next week.  She wasn't happy-maybe I need to move on from here.

To be honest it sounds like you are trying to punish yourself on some levels. I don't know if your ex said anything bad to you or not, but I do not think you should rake yourself over the coals for calling the things off with him. Just remember, you are perfectly worthy to feel happiness in your life.

If you have to, find a good friend who you can talk to face to face with. One that will be there for you and will help you.

Hang in there girl. I am praying for you.

Remember, God loves you and will be there for you.

Hi- One of my sisters lost her appetite and her weight loss was noticeable. She was greatly affected every time someone said she’s thin. She had no appetite and lost the joy of doing things she used to enjoy. When she went to her primary physician, the doctor diagnosed her with anxiety.

I talk to her about anything just to let her know that she’s not alone. Thankfully, she’s comfortable sharing her feelings with me. She also has a life group that she meets once a week online. It’s a big help and I can see that her mood is improving.

It would be better if you have someone you can talk to, someone you can trust. Feel free to share here anytime. I hope you will find comfort here. Take care of yourself. I’m with you in prayers. God bless.
