Answer 2

Answer 3

Some people eat when they are stressed others lose their appetites. I totally understand about your dog. I have 4 cats one of whom is I am afraid getting rather old. I am sure if anything happens to him my wife and I will go in to mourning. he has been a family member for nearly 15 years.

When I was in practice one of my receptionists took a day off when her cat died and my senior partner was fuming and just couldn&#039;t see it. I told her that If heaven forbid one of my cats died I would need at least a couple of days off. And when I came back I would want to wear a black armband.

As compassionate beings we see the souls in our pets as well and mourn their loss.

Answer 4

Im very sorry about your dog. I lost a dog a couple years ago and believe me...I cried for days and days &amp; just stayed in my room constantly. It will take time. But your dog is in a better place :)

As for eating...thats really important. Food is like &quot;fuel&quot; for our bodies. When we dont have enough nutrients from food...our bodies dont function mentally, physically or even emotionally. When our bodies dont get the right amount of nutrients your immune system can go down and your at more risk of getting sick, which no one likes! Try eating a few snacks a day...even if your not hungry. Your energy will come right back and your emotional side will perk up I garuntee. I suggest go get sometime like your favorite dessert to ease your greif. :) hope this helped!

Answer 5

Oh yeah, the exact same thing happened to me when I was in the exciting part of my relationship with my bf. I just didn&#039;t feel hungry at all, I think I lost about 7 pounds in 2 wks. But once I realized how little I&#039;d been eating, I just forced myself to calm down, and eat a little bit at a time. Once I started eating more regularly, I got my appetite back.

By the way, sry about your dog, that must be hard :(

Answer 6

its really bizarre reading this question... i have just posted a question myself sayin that ive not eaten all day and is the reason i feel sick cos of it.

but yeah...i am really stressed lately too.  I usually eat two large meals a day cos I love my food. but yesterday i didnt have much. and today i havent eaten a thing.

i think stress really must take over hunger sometimes.

I dont know if this suggestion is very useful, but tomorrow I am going out and i have planned to get a mcdonalds for lunch cos i love it. so maybe you should get some food you normally really love and it might make you feel hungrier.

That probably didnt help much, but hope you start eating properly again soon  

Answer 7

Answer 8

awwww sorry times are stressful for you hun...

it&#039;s always hard to lose a friend, that includes a pet, they just have such a way of creeping into our hearts you know? don&#039;t let anyone make you feel as if you have no right to grieve by saying &quot;it&#039;s just a dog&quot; because that&#039;s rubbish...it takes time to heal and move on, don&#039;t try to rush yourself...

sit your boyfriend down and talk things through with him, explain how you&#039;re feeling and let him say how he&#039;s feeling and all that...it&#039;ll lift the weight a bit i think just making your feelings known in a calm atmosphere...

this happens to me sometimes too when im stressed and upset, i don&#039;t feel hungry...just try to sort out the stresses that you can right now and don&#039;t rush yourself through the things you can&#039;t...it&#039;ll help you to feel a bit better...

i know it&#039;s tough to make yourself eat when you have no appetite, but you really need to try, even if it&#039;s only a little bit for breakfast, lunch and dinner...just try to eat a little even if you don&#039;t feel like it...because in the long run you&#039;ll just feel worse if you don&#039;t eat anything...

good luck hun and i hope things work out ok :)

edit: i do agree with the people above...if you try to eat but you still can&#039;t then you should see your GP...also try a tonic like they say, it&#039;ll help you :)
