Hi, I'm new to this site and am currently having a number of problems that I really need some help with, and someone to talk to about.
Due to a recent shock, discovering my 'boyfriend' no longer feels the same way about me, I have been having huge problems eating. The mere thought of food makes me feel sick. I do make myself eat, because I know I have to, but I eat very very little in a day. I've been like this over a week now and am getting quite thin. My 'boyfriend' is so distant towards me, never showing any affection or hugging me anymore, so he hasn't noticed anything different.
I contacted the emergency triage doctor last week, and was prescribed some sleeping tablets. I was told that if I could sleep, (which I haven't been doing) then I would be able to eat, and would generally feel better in myself.
It hasn't really been working though. I feel so terribly depressed and unhappy when I wake up and still can't eat.
Does anyone have any advice?

You should probably sort out this stuff with your boyfriend. If he no longer feels the same way about you then why are you with him? This just seems to be prolonging any misery and problems you are having.
You should probably see your doctor again too...hmmm, and I should follow my own (and everyone elses) advice.
If you need anyone to talk to in a similar(ish) situation or anything then you can PM me anytime and natter on MSN. I really don't mind.
Good luck to you, hun. x
Then make an appointment to see your family doctor, who can have a proper chat about what's wrong, and who isn't in a hurry to see lots of people who are having emergencies. Perhaps the sleeping pills are not the right treatment for you.
If your boyfriend has 'gone off you', but is still keeping you hanging on, it's time to have a very serious conversation with him.
