Question
Hi i split with my boyfriend on Friday january January. I was so upset i wasn't eating it's now been 6 days and i don't feel hungry but i feel faint and weak. I have tried 2 eat but when i do i feel really sick so don't bother I'm getting very worried now please help.

Answer
Faintness and weakness is a sign you're throwing your blood sugar off and you're not giving your body proper nutrients. If you're getting sick like having nausea and vomiting that's not good and I would strongly advise you to seek appropriate medical help with a doctor because you might be doing some damage to your body that needs to be addressed. If this has been going on for a week you need to see the doctor ASAP.
