Lack of hunger or thirst from stress

I recently had something happen in my life that caused me immense anxiety and stress. This in turn has caused my appetite and thirst to go away entirely, to the point where even thinking much about eating or drinking anything makes me feel sick. I haven’t eaten since Tuesday and I had to force myself to drink a few sips of water yesterday. I know at some point I’ll just have to force myself to eat something, it just feels like my body has sort of shut down due to my mental state.

I think I’m just looking for some similar experiences to be shared so I don’t feel as alone in this. I do have a small support system of friends and family in my life, but I’m trying to stay as positive as possible for them as they each have their things going on that they’re dealing with.

I’m sorry if this post goes against any rules of this subreddit, I read through them and I don’t believe I’m crossing anything, again I’m not looking for medical advice or anything of the sort, maybe just some encouragement.
