Hey... the same type of thing happens to me. Clinically, it is my way of dealing with panic attacks brought on by stressful situations. As someone who *was* anorexic, not eating/not being hungry is a mental situation that allows me to have "control in uncontrollable situations". Anything can bring this on – awaiting a phone call, making a phone call, meeting up with people, or just generally being stressed. I actually get jittery, my blood pressure lowers and I get short of breath as well (in full-blown panic attack mode… which, luckily, does not happen much). The mentally induced anorexia is very common for me; it may last days and I’ll usually end up with a fluctuation in my weight. I also tend to go through a bit of melancholy mood whenever this occurs. I just accept this as part of my make-up and try to pull myself out of it as best as I can when it happens. Support is the best thing… Kevon is a godsend when this happens.
