Can't Seem To Eat...

Pick an issue. One, and stick with it.

The sympathetic nervous system shuts down digestion (sympathetic = Fight&Flight, parasympathetic = R...

Im going back to your reply; it was the most helpful. Now some how ive been labeled w/ having an eating disorder. Jesus f*cking christ!

 

[lostforgottensoul]

You're quite a knot of issues, and frankly I find it exhausting to follow. I'd much prefer you choose one, work on it and report back as you did with hugging your dog than this stuff.

How is that my problem? Did i ask you to follow me? And theres nothing wrong w/ posting several issues that your dealing with!

 

[The Albatross]

I would suggest to you and your therapist that this is the core of your issue with eating. "when i was being forced to purge in the cult to "keep the best prostitute weight" i never continued the purging when i got out and never did it unless forced"

I think you and your therapist are quite misguided on the way of eating disorders if you think, "is something done on purpose usually w/ the thought of "im fat" or some sort of body distorotion".

I didn't have that either... but I did have an aversion to eating.

I'm not following you for the record. I meant in your threads. And am as exasperated as you are. I think if you are not experiencing a hunger response... you may do well to be reevaluated but with that. I withdraw.

Leah why are you telling someone with an eating disorder to grab an empty food? Christ.

Because as someone who has suffered when the digestive tract shuts down its about restarting it so you can ramp it up again I'm only suggesting as like a day or two to kick start the feeling of hunger. Randomly my kick star at 6st1oz was 2 camenbert cubes 1cm3 2 strawberries an after eight and then nurishment sips until then next meal. Then upped the cubes and eventually integrated wraps rice and other cereals And variety as my stomach restarted. Unless it was a gentle restart I use to vomit the Drs said it was because my stomach shut down.

Im sorry but i have to ignore for a bit.

For everyone else, my therapist KNOWS i was forced to purge in the cult, no one is misguided, he stated that due to being forced HE STATED THATS WHY I DIDNT DEVELOP AN EATING DISORDER OF ANY KIND! And i cant even believe someone labeled me as such!

Please people, stop assuming things about me, please!

I have the same the last half year, and find it very difficult to find an appetite. It is due to a very heavy therapeutic load and fear. I have no eating disorder. I force myself to eat small things like bananas, apples, yoghurt, dates, chocolate during the day and try to cook something light for dinner. I force myself, because I had lost too much weight at one point. I don't always succeed with cooking dinner, but again do eat something. Maybe it helps that I eat vegetarian, because stuff is easier to digest and lighter to take in.
I have no solution to getting an appetite. I think it will come automatically when certain stress factors in your life calm down, at least how I approach it.

@Leah Morgan its ok, i totally fot what your saying.

My not being hungry and/or nausious has to do w/ my emotional state; has nothing to do w/ withholding anything and im gonna go w/ @FridayJones reply and yours as well as i know the boost gives me nutrion.

And im sorry that im a complicated entanglement of issues but i dont remember any rules against posting more than 1 issue at a time or you cant ask for help w/ two VERY DIFFERENT issue. And that statement i would NEVER say to another!

If you find that exhausting/triggering/or whatever than dont f*cking read it!

And good f*cking god please stop assuming. I dont assume anything about anyone else, i have tried my hardest to stop making people upset. I would appreciate the same!

I never actually had an eating disorder either I just have stress related ibs my PTSD triggers flare ups. Hey aren't we all complex this is where you can say what ever is on your mind. Take care x

Thank you! I havent tried that. Oatmeal seems to be easier to eat. Im sorry you're going through it too! I'll try somme of those foods.

It is due to a very heavy therapeutic load and fear.

I think so too; or at least my my mental state as a lot has happened in the last week and it got worse.

Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah i do believe it has to do w/ not just PTSD flare ups but also have BPD and Generalized anxity disorder so my emotional state seems to be quite crazy most times.

I dont know about being able to say whats on my mind. Most are seeming to have issues w/ my posts and this one completely lacked the graphic detail and still sparked upset. What is it about me and the people here? Im doing my best to 'fit in' but good god!
