Hi all,

I lost all my appetite a week ago due to all the stress I'm under and all the anxiety I'm having, along with non-stop bad news daily for a week.

It's not hurting, the pain went away on day 2. I don't feel hungry. I haven't really drank much water either, maybe 1 and a half bottle in the past week. I usually drink 2 per day, more sometimes if I'm eating.

Today I started feeling dizzy, nauseas and light headed whenever I stood for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. I also had some ringing in my left ear while standing once, I have never experienced that before when I've not eaten for long periods of time. Not sure if it's related to the no food part or if it was just random.

I ended up eating 1 slice of cheese today that contains 35 calories and filling my water bottle after 5 attempts at standing, but feeling really physically ill every time I stood. I feel a little better now.

I think I'll continue to not eat for now, I just don't want anything. It feels like a chore right now to force feed myself. I'm not mentally well enough at the moment to want to eat. I'll try to drink more water thought.

There's been times I go a week or 2 without eating. And I agree after 2 or 3 days, the pains go away.

Your body will go through different stages, from headache to ear ringing, to dizziness, to being weak, and so forth.

I've thought of going the vsed method, but I've heard tales that it's not a good idea and takes a lot of willpower. I did see a thread on here a few weeks ago about one person who nearly succeeded.

IDK if this is a self-harm thing or not, considering the site we're on, but if you don't want to feel like shit while fasting, you need electrolytes. Maybe pick up some gatorade or something similar.

Yeah, I do this sometimes when I'm very stressed or if I get cheated on. It triggers a period in which I eat 450 cals a day or nothing for a while. I think this is the worst one I've ever had so far though, because I haven't consumed any salt, I just realised that I've forgotten to take multi-vitamins and multi-minerals as well during this entire week. I usually make sure that I consume all these things at least so that I don't end up collapsing. I think I've been too stressed to remember or realise until now how badly I neglected myself this week.

Well, I'm almost 30 years old and I probably wouldn't be on this site if my parents cared about me as a child instead of abuse and neglect me. They are the cause of why I have been suicidal since age 11. My plan is to CTB with SN soon so I don't really care too much about irreversible damage. I have had eating disorder episodes since I was 14 periodically and my mother actually encouraged me to starve.

if you can't access or afford gatorade, any water w/salt should be okay too. you could make it taste better w/squeezes or blends of fruit juice.

I usually mix salt with water when I'm going through this, just that my brain stopped working this time due to the stress I guess so I forgot to do any of the things that I usually do.

I am so sorry for everything that you've been through.and for what you are going through. Stress wreaks havoc on the body. I can fully understand how you feel as I can't eat either with my stress level and anxiety being high. And I am now sick of it all, I just want to be done with everything, and be put out of my misery. O hate feeling like crap everyday of my life.
