whenever i experience any sort of emotional turmoil, i completely stop eating. i genuinely can’t make myself eat. if i try, i get sick. this obviously results in me losing a lot of weight really quickly, which also makes me sick but in a different, more alarming way. i’m not refusing to eat with the end goal being weight loss, but part of me also doesn’t want to start eating normally again even if i could because i like that i’m losing weight so fast, even if i know it’s horrible for my body and i’ll only end up gaining the weight back. i take effexor for my anxiety/depression and i’m hesitant to ask to up my dosage because it’s been working really well where it’s at now and i don’t want to risk side effects, which have been a big problem for me in the past. last time this happened, i managed to force feed myself saltines so i didn’t DIE and tums to help the nausea. it went on that way for several months. eventually i was able to ease back into eating normally. i don’t want to do that again, but i also cannot physically make myself eat anything that has any flavor whatsoever, or i will throw up. even the saltines are a challenge.  if anyone else has experienced something like this and can give me advice, i would really really appreciate it.
