No appetite, weird sleeping habits

[MaddLlama]

Lately, I don't know what's wrong with me. I try to cook a decent meal, and then by the time I sit down, I don't want to eat it. My cooking isn't horrible, since most dishes are simple (really, how hard is it to make a stir fry). I eat a tiny portion of it, and I can't eat anymore. But, I can eat jell-o, fruit, and crackers all day and never feel full. Which is probably why I never loose any weight.

And, I always seem to wake up tired. If I sleep more than 6 hours, I feel like I haven't slept at all, but if I sleep for 6 or less hours, I wake up feeling energetic, but then by around 3 or 4 I crash really bad.

Can anybody offer any insight?

Go to the drugstore and buy a pregnancy test.

Maybe try a cleansing, an herbal d-tox. It's good for the system, as well as the appetite.

It could be emotional. I've been depressed with similiar symptoms. Willamena's suggestion is a good one, you may just need to rid your body of accumulated toxins.

Of course, Lunamoth may be right as well...

That is EXACTLY what I was going to say. Sounds very much like early pregnancy.

That's the first thing that came to my mind too.

I don't suppose early pregnancy shares symptoms with PMDD?

 

[Jaymes]

If it's not pregnancy, you might be depressed. It can mess with your appetite and sleep habits.

 

[Storm]

What's PMDD?

They do share some symptoms. I'd get the pregnancy test anyway, though.

If you're not pregnant get a blood sugar test. You need to eat more protein girl! All that sugar could make you tired and hungry.

Do you want to be pregnant?

I seem to want to eat anything but protein. Even Chineese food. =( Except cheese....

Do you want to be pregnant?

Ye Gods no, I'm totally not ready for that. :cover: :faint:

Yeah, but by eating all that sugar and refined carbs you're contributing to your tiredness and sleep depravity. If cheese sounds good eat it several times a day at least.

Ye Gods no, I'm totally not ready for that. :cover: :faint:

Awww, you'd be a fun mom. Are you late?

Yeah....I should probably take a week or two and eat as little pre-packaged stuff as possible and stick to the basics and then see how I feel. And, get an EPT

As far as I know I'm not late, but I don't normally keep track of it. I'm sensing the onset of PMS, but I've been having this problem for more then 3 weeks now so didn't think that was the cause.

I probably shouldn't say this but, I just got kinda excited at the prospect of you being pregnant. :run:

OMG, you're the 5th person to tell me that in the last few months. What is it with my friends and wanting me to have babies?! Are you people sadists? I sing stupid songs to my cats, for God's sake!

:biglaugh:

BTW, I hope that's an offer to come babysit, lol

See! There's part of the proof that you'd be a fun mom.

I would adore to babysit for you....I've watched my friend's kids so they could go away for weekends and entire weeks. I LOVE kids.

guilt?

depression?

On second thought it is probably the stress of being a mod here at RF. You cook to take your mind off the inane conversations here, but the upset stomach of all these silly and outrageous posts takes away your appetite.
