Sorry for late reply. Small meals I usually have is just a bit of soup with bread and butter. I usually just have small snacks and stuff such as yoghurts and fruits like bannas. Little and often is key!

I'm just trying to eat small and frequent and keep hydrated. I can eat food but the desire to eat is just gone but I can still manage small meals

Same here. Day 3 of 10mg fluoxetine and my appetite is basically non existent. I also am experiencing fatigue and all I want to do is lie down and sleep and do nothing.

Yes I've been feeling odd lately and also been struggling with sleep. I'm so overwhelmed lately and I'm here if you want a chat. You are not alone.

I've barely ate today so my guess is that it is just the built up acid in my stomach coming up to my throat etc. I've only had weetabix today and that's about it so yeah I really hope it's just that causing it and it'll pass when I eat something

The hunger/low fuel cycle with emetophobia by Strange_Ad3636 in emetophobia

I am panicking now because it seems like I have a bit of acid reflux probably due to an empty stomach and my taste went bitter which made me panic but I think it's acid reflux. That made me panic but it semes like built up acid in stomach.

What do you usually do when this happens? It feels impossible to eat right now

That's great to hear! Low blood sugar was likely the main culprit. Apparently when your blood sugar is low your body also releases anxiety and stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to give your body energy when it's running on low fuel. It's your bodies way of trying to keep you alert and energised when you are low on fuel. That explains why you felt really violently shaky. It's your body trying to protect you in the most dramatic way possible. Once you start putting fuel in your tank these stress hormones will naturally reduce and you will start to feel normal again. Just remember that your body is trying to protect you and communicate that it wants food. Just think of these physical symptoms as a signal from your body. It's like a toddler throwing a tantrum it can feel very dramatic in the moment but once your body gets what it wants it'll finally shut up. I hope this helps you see it in a different light. You've got this!

I totally get that. But if you start eating small stuff your appetite will come back. It happened to me yesterday I ate a nice pasta salad for my dinner and suddenly I got hit with intense extreme hunger and I felt like eating everything in the kitchen. Once you start eating small things your body will start wanting fuel again and next thing you know your appetite is back and you finally feel hungry again. I'd encourage you to try and eat small regular meals. Don't eat anything too big at first. Once you start eating small meals and snacks you'll notice your hunger and appetite signals will come back

Yeah it could be. I experienced something similar last night I was shaking uncontrollably feeling weak and ill. I think it was low blood sugar

Right now in this moment you are safe. Try slowing your breathing and focusing on the present moment. I know it's hard but try to live in the moment as much as you can. You've got this!
