food problem

when i get hungry i can't eat, food makes me feel sick,

take today for example, i had some breakfast but then i felt sick, so i had some water and i was fine, i was really hungry by lunchtime, i went and brought a sandwich but i couldn't eat hardly any of it, and then when my mum mentioned dinner i almost spewed up, its been going on for a while now and ive not eaten a meal for about week and a half,

i just can't bring myself to stuff my face!!! its getting worrying!!!

do you think im just being stupid. but even now the thought of eating is making me feel sick!! i felt full after drinking a cup of tea, im not depressed and im certainly not pregnant!!
whats going on?

I'm currently suffering from a virus that's making me feel like this. Maybe you've got whatever's doing the rounds.

Might well be the power of suggestion by now. If you eat and EXPECT to feel sick, you will.

Ignore it and pretend it's not there. Eat normally, refuse to be sick, even if you feel weird. You won't be.

this is EXACTLY whats going one with me.

I get really hungry like normal but when I get like 2 bites into something I feel like im going to throw up and honestly cant eat anymore. Its awful because my boyfriends mum made us a lovely dinner on Sunday and I could hardly eat any and felt terrible :frown:

Not good...maybe I should see the doctor. Im definitely not depressed or anything so not sure what it could be.

The same thing happened to my friend a few months ago, but she managed to get through it in the end.

Take each day meal by meal. Start small with something like tea or soup in little portions and work your way up.

Its definately worth seeing a Doctor though, just in case.
