I can't eat!!

hey,
a few months ago my boyfriend broke up with me, we had been together for over a year. Soon after this happened i lost all appetite and felt sick during the day. I could only eat a mouthful at a time, and even that made me feel very sick. I felt sick, but i never actually was sick.
I went to the doctors to find out what was wrong with me, they said that stress had caused the production of too much acid in my stomach
. I was prescribed some pills to help it go back to normal. After a while of taking these pills my stomach felt much better and i could eat again.
A few months have passed since that happened, but now its doing exactly the same thing. I've recently seen my ex and slept with him. I was on the pill for a few days before i did sleep with him, but im not sure if its worked or not.

Since then i cannot eat anything and i have had really really bad pains. I try to eat something, but i cant, my hands shake a lot, and i cant bring myself to put food in my mouth.
I have also been feeling very tired, and need at least 12 hours sleep a night.
I have only been awake for a few hours, but already i feel like i should be back in bed sleeping.

I dont think that it is stress that is causing this, as im not very stressed at the moment!!

Please can someone help me! I really dont know whats wrong Sad

i think that you need to go see a doctor again hun. sleeping with your ex wasnt the best idea because it prolly brought back all your old thought and emotions. you might not think that you are stressed or anything but maybe your subconscience is trying to tell you something.

Sorry to hear that hun. You sound like your depressed.

You need to go see the doctor again.

I remember when I broke up with my ex bf and become depressed and could not eat but i did feel very hungry but my throat was so sore and I felt so depressed that I couldn't stomach any food. But as they say time is a great healer.

You need to sort out the situation with your ex as you will only cause more emotional upheaval with him coming in and out of your life.

I imagine that the instability is causing you stress and making it difficult for you emotionally hence the eating problems.

Don't worry hun. Be strong x
