It wasnt a happy relationship anyway and I was hurt about how he went about things but I was also relieved it was finally over. I have been using this time to heal spiritually and emotionally and I thought I was doing okay. Then about a week ago I had a panic attack for the first time in my life, I am losing weight like crazy and I even missed my period this month. (no chance of pregnancy, no sex since he left) My body is acting like I'm stressed out like crazy, but I dont really feel stressed. Could it be possible that I'm in denial about my feelings and its taking its toll on my body? I'm trying to be honest with myself while searching my soul for peace of mind, but i really just dont emotionally feel as stressed out as my body is telling me I am! I went to the doctor after the panic attack because I thought I was having a heart attack, he said it was just a panic attack. Any thoughts?

Yeah I actually like the fact that I lost weight as well lol I went from a size 9 to a size 4 so at least I got something good out of it. Well just reading some of your responses maybe me get some things thru my head, and I actually cried which is the first time since he left. I think I'll be ok though... thanks again. :)

my husband just left me a month ago - 3 kids dont know and I haven't told people but my weight has plummeted to - I lost 4kgs in a month - not quite as much as you - but it is noticeable and people at work have said are you ok - you've lost weight - look gaunt. I try to eat but nothing tastes good. I think what you (and I) are going through takes a long time to get over and hopefully we learn to eventually sleep, eat and live a normal life.
Keep telling myself it cant get worse .... time must heal..

Subconsciously you are stressed of your problem and that is manifesting in your body. I was also in the same situation. broke up with my boyfriend 2 months ago. No one saw me cry, I hid all my feelings but everyone noticed how fast I lost weight. In a month I lost 7kg.
I didn't notice i ate less. But other than that no excersice..i just stayed at home and slept a lot. But now, I have began to think of foods again as I can say I have moved on from the break up.
I like my new weight though and everyone says I look more beautiful. LOL
