Answer 1

I'm not a doctor, I don't know anything about your health, either past or present. What I do know is the termination of a relationship like you had can be traumatic. Try to give it some time, trauma is bad and can confuse your body.

For example, a day or so after my Dad died I was going to mow the lawn at his home. I got the mower out and it had no gas in it. The can was empty as well. I sat on the mower in the middle of the open vehicle door on his garage and cried. A neighbor brought me some gas. The point is not that I was upset. The point is I was lost, I had no fuel and no idea how to get any. Now I was nearly 50 years old at the time. I had bought gas for 35 years and knew about the service station three blocks away. But none of that registered.

I think all of these traumas start in ones head, mine stayed there, yours is working on your body.

I would give it some more time, at least a couple more weeks before I went into panic mode. Now if you are loosing too much weight, or having other symptoms that could threaten your health, by all means, see a doctor.

I wish you the very best, do the best you can not to let this ruin your life. And I do realize how much easier it is to say that than to do it.

Yes it is normal to lose your appetite because of a break up. stess and depression will cause this. The part about difficulty swallowing im not so sure of. But if you feel like you are having an issue you might want to go see a doctor and tell them whats going on in your life. They might also give you some meds until you get over the depression. I know you are heartbroken and im sorry for what she did to you. But in time you will move on with your life. Be strong for the sake of your health.

Answer 3

I know exactly what you are going through, I separated from my husband for 7 months. I couldn't eat even the simplest food. the idea made my stomache turn. And when I would try to force myself. I would gag. I lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks. It's the mental stress of heart ache and the change of life. Try drinking the meal replacement drinks. And there is never a time that is too early to visit a doctor. good luck.

Answer 4

I'm going through the exact same thing. I've lost about 6 pounds since last Tuesday. I've been working out and haven't had much of an appetite since then. Also doesn't help that I'm not a very good cook so I choose not to eat instead of cooking...

Anyway, yeah, I think it's normal. As things smooth out, I think you will get your appetite back. In any case, make sure to at least snack every few hours or so.

Answer 5

Seems like you are under immense stress, did you know that sometimes too much stress can cause our throats to close off...you seriously need to speak to your doctor about this, you are hurt badly, and your body is reacting badly to the breakup it's almost like you are grieving a death...you need to start eating otherwise you will make yourself sick, and this would just be an added problem for you...listen be kind to yourself, you will bounce back, but just take your time, and time will heal all wounds, just dont beat yourself up about what you could of done differently. Good Luck, and take care of yourself lol.

sometimes us men may well be such utter b*stard pricks. If he did no longer desire a toddler why did no longer he use a condom. As he has chosen to wasteland you the two, then for sure he wasn't in love with you as much as you theory, and with the little boy, he has left you with a persevering with reminder. individually, i think of you're incredibly worth extra effective than this guy, and would pass on and discover somebody who will settle for you for who you're, be keen to act as a father on your little boy, and coach you what actual love is approximately. ensure that the daddy whether, will pay his help for the toddler, why could he go through by way of fact hiss blood father is a gutless pr*ck. I wish you each and every and all the success interior the international, the two you and the toddler. Your ex has long previous decrease back to the regulations of the jungle by making use of what he's accomplished, perchance you're extra effective off without him. Mike t.

Answer 7

Sounds like you have a broken heart, not a broken appetite. Every five years or so, I can depend on some big trauma to happen in my life (death, job loss, break-up, etc.) that causes me to lose my appetite, and also about 7-8 lbs.

Don't worry, time heals all wounds and your appetite will come back. If it doesn't improve in about a week, see a DR, you might also have a virus.

Answer 8

As humans when going through a crisis we choose to over eat or not eat at all. Start getting small healthy foods; like fruits and vegetables, these are foods that will not weigh you down or harm you in the long run. It will get better, you have to believe it.

Answer 9

NORMAL. I didn't realize it until I noticed I was taking the same amount of food, but eating only 2 or 3 bites.

Make sure you continue to eat daily, just take smaller portions and remember the tried and true statement,

"The best way to get over a woman-

is to find another one"

Answer 10

I went through what you are going through when my wife died.. The answer is You have been through a lot. Apparently you did not see the signs of your relationship breaking up. You are in shock, as I was in when my wife was killed in a car accident. You need to talk to someone, whether they or professional, or a close family member, or friend. You need to tell someone about what you are going through mentally. Don't waste time, DO IT NOW!!!
