Recently i've kinda of lost my appetite for food. Im only eating breakfast. Or only eating dinner - and its not much at all.

Its only come up in the past week.
  • Monday - just breakfast (2 hashbrowns from mcdonalds)
  • Tuesday - just dinner but not all of it
  • Wednesday - slice of bread / 4 mouth fulls of dinner
  • Thursday - half of breakfast / half of dinner
  • Friday - just dinner - not all of it
  • Saturday - just dinner - not all of it
  • Sunday - just dinner - not all of it

I used to always snack when i was bored. I dont any more. The past week i was very bored - i was off from work and at home due to an injury. (ankle but not on any medication)

i've lost 4kg in a matter of weeks. I dont do that much exercise. i started walking but was stoped due to weather/flu/injury.

I feel, pretty much of the time, sick to my stomach. Like im going to be sick, but im not.

The day i sort of stop eating, on the previous monday i woke up so suddenly (like out of a nightmare but it wasn't) with a feeling like i was going to be sick. Thats never happened. I ate on the sunday. I was doing sexual stuff with this guy on the Thursday before.

I have been worried a lot about problems with a guy.(feel a lot of regret) Could it be due to that, or depression or, just because of the constant worry?

Should i see a doctor?

if you can afford to go get checked out, yes i think it would be good for you to go and just be sure of what is going on with your body. then you can rule out physical things and go from there.

i have gone through periods of depression, in my past, where i felt anxious, constantly nauseated and very tired. i was unable to rest well and food just got hard to even face. and i dropped weight significantly during this time.

the word anorexia actually refers to "lack of interest in or hunger for food" (or something like that) when someone has a problem with anorexia they stop eating they do not lose their appetite - at least at first.

sometimes when i have done something that is against my standards or beliefs and it bothers me i will feel sickish. it is possible, if this is not a physical problem, that the sexual activity with the guy you mentioned has upset you enough to affect your appetite and health. that is not out of the ordinary for people with a sensitive conscience.

i hope you can work it out and resolve things for your own sake. feel free to pm if you would like to.

Hi leslie,

thank you for your reply. I think i might go see a doctor - just in case. I have been constantly worried lately, and the eating thing has only happen in the last week and half. I have been feeling worried/axeious for weeks.
I was feeling a lot of regret with sexual stuff with this guy (my first) and terrified he used me. Ive spoken to him, i dont think he has, but maybe took advantage just a little bit. The way i was feeling, has not been doing me any good. i dont want to be depressed, just over a guy. i do not want this guy to send me into depression or give me an eating disorder. I know where i stand with him now. i think he wants friends but also a 'friends with benefits' kinda deal. not sure about that yet. but the regret/worry/sick feeling was taking over my life for so many weeks. i dont want to feel like that. When i was with him, it all went away. i felt great with him. so not sure what to do. but i will see a doc - i didn't eat anything from 1pm Wednesday to 8.30am Thursday. Thats a long time not to eat!
thanks so much for your reply.
