I've lived off peanutbutter due to stress. I always get nauseated from hunger when I skip a mealtime, which means water is my next option until my stomach settled. Nearly fainted on afternoon of day 3 without food, so I know it can get messy, no appetite, food is offputting and your mind's way too busy with other thoughts anyway yoghurt, custard, milkshakes, they help me out. Also buttered toast and Rooibos helps kickstart my appetite. Really wish I could shoulder your husband/finance burden and grant you some reprieve. You didn't deserve any of this illogical mess he's made for you. thinking of you ((((eskie))))
