Eating to Survive
So this is kinda random and not deep in any such way, it's just something so write so I can try to focus my mind on something. Maybe after this I'll be able to study...probably not. I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I'm so stressed I can't function properly. I cry a lot and don't sleep well. I can't focus on anything and I lack motivation. I've been itchy all over I've even made myself bleed a few times from scratching so much. I've felt sick and groggy with headaches, nausea, and drastic temperature changes. In addition to all of that I can't eat anything. Nothing tastes good. It all makes me sick. String cheese? No-go. Ice cream? No-go. Apple? No-go. Yogurt granola bar? No-go. Thats how it goes with everything. I used to love eating. I would eat just to eat. It was an activity that brought me joy. Now I just eat because I know my body will die if I don't eat. Yesterday I had to force myself to eat my favorite foot-long from subway. While I usually pound that sandwich down, now I have to force each bite. I chew the meat, cheese, bread, and vegetables like a cow chews cud. I swallow the bolus of toasted sub as if I'm a Fear Factor contestant trying to get that last gulp of cow-gut smoothie down my gullet. Even now I know I'm hungry and I know my body needs food but just the thought of eating anything makes my stomach turn and puts a sour taste in my mouth. This all makes it sound very much like I have an eating disorder doesn't it. Well I'm fairly sure I don't but whatever. I'm going to go pretend I'm studying now so I'll feel more justified about failing my finals... Merry Christmas.
