Hi,
Your posts are so familiar to my earlier months.
I lost my appetite for about 6 months. Ate only to survive basically. I did have certain cravings at times though. First four months my body only wanted sweets if I ate. Not candy, but bakery items, pancakes, waffles. I don't eat that stuff so it was very bizzare for my family and me. Mostly I didn't eat.
Carry peace with you in some form knowing there are many of us here, like you, that understand.
My husband does next to everything. He's a solid, good, loving man. It's not easy for him, but he understands and makes our lives about what works for us now and goes to any length to enjoy life.
I couldn't do hardly anything in the beginning. I slept 80-90% of the first 100 days. That's what my brain desired. Everything is dictated by my brain.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
