are you depressed? when i went through a bad breakup i didnt eat for like literally 4 days straight. has there been anything traumatic in your life recently?

and for healthy foods. i love strawberry smoothies. thats all i drank for those 4 days. of course you should have other things, but at least its somewhat nutritional and i never felt like iw as going to puke from it.

Ok, I can understand the being depressed and not wanting to eat. I know some people are like that. Depression can cause loss of appetite in some people...in others it can cause overeating.

 

I can understand eating and things not tasting right/good if you're upset.

 

But throwing up anything/everything you do manage to eat is reason enough for me to want to see a doctor (if it's been more than, say, a week) -- just to rule out a physical cause for your loss of appetite and inability to keep food down.

 

Yes, there's a good chance it's all emotionally-related, but just in case there is some physical cause that happened to crop up around the same time the emotional stuff started, I think it's best to err on the side of caution and get checked out.

 

When was your last physical check-up? If it's been over a year, it's probably time for one anyway.

 

In the meantime, you might want to stick to bland foods and clear liquids -- rice, jello, broth, popsicles, saltine crackers...stuff like that.
