duooptichrome 32 Posted November 21, 2014 Today a very dear friend of mine was laid to rest after battling cancer. ???? As it usually goes with a loss of a loved one, at least with me, I eat my emotions. I'm three weeks post op and obviously at the luncheon couldn't eat especially enough to eat my feelings away. After it was all over I felt more drained then I ever did before with losing a loved one ( not to sound sappy but I've lost quite a few). Even at the end of the day I feel like I've had no energy, almost like when your sick, not depressed. I've gotten my calories and Protein in and everything. Is this what it really feels like when you can't use food as your comfort? It's like my body is sad lol. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCP 619 Posted November 21, 2014 You are experiencing an emotional trauma and you have not recovered from the physical and psychological trauma of this surgery and major life change. Be good to yourself. Cry it out. Rest and sleep. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
