Exhausting

Oh, how glad I am that it's over. Christmas Mass. It was so hard to be there with all those people & hugs & best wishes & all. It's not fair really, is it? Why is everything so hard? I just want to hide, hide, hide. I was invited to my cousin's for dinner on Christmas Day, but I couldn't go. I'm still a passel of raw nerves from yesterday. And I'm nauseated, of course. I force myself to eat, but still don't eat enough and am under-weight and faint and dizzy. But I can't help it. I'm not "doing this on purpose". I don't know what to do. But I do send to everyone.

Maybe you can try eating real small things every hour or two, to give your body the nutrients that it needs?

Like, an apple or pear? Next time, a slice of ham & some veggie/s. The time after that, a healthy granola bar (like Luna ~ has lots of vitamins and protein). Drink water throughout the day and evening. Drink a fruit & yogurt (or ice) smoothie every now and then.

Please do give it a try. I have been on that underweight and nauseous road myself & had a tough time getting back up into a "healthy weight" to make things easier. I know that it isn't easy. ((((hugs))))

I'm sorry you've been finding things so hard. Well done for getting through Mass in spite of how you felt, I think that is an achievement. How are you feeling now? I hope things are a little better.

I drink gingerale or ginger tea when my stomach is as you described, which happens way too often from anxiety / depression because I REALLY cannot afford any weightloss. Learned that from a member in the BP forum. It settles my stomach enough for me to get a decent meal in, and keep it in.

I'm sorry things are so hard for you right now.

sending lots of love xx
