You need to take care of yourself. What you're basically saying, and I totally understand, but what you're saying to your body is that your day to day schedule is more important than taking care of your basic biological needs. I'm just being realistic here. You can put your body under so much pressure, but eventually it breaks down and you will have to take far more time off. You need to put a sustainable regime in place, that involves taking care of your self, decompressing, just basic self nurture.
You probably feel bloated because of what you're eating and how you're eating. Ideally, you should be trying to prepare some proper, wholesome food. A good constituent of food should be stuff that is fresh and you have prepared yourself. Protein shakes, depending on what's in them, will probably tie your stomach in knots. You have to be careful what you eat. A lot of processed foods contain shit loads of sugar and a lot of chemicals. The other thing is, you need to make sure you sit down, some time, during the day, and take some time to concentrate on the food you are eating, and chew it thoroughly. Again, what you're saying now, is that what you're caught up in, is far more important than taking some time to calm your nervous system and digest your food. It's no wonder everything goes out of whack.
While you're working, I think it's perfectly reasonable to have a little mini break and have a little snack. Whether it's some whole nuts and raisins, a low sugar and reasonably healthy cereal bar, a bag of crisps, etc. Where are your carbs? I cook a big pot of brown rice and it lasts me the whole week at work. Plus it's about the healthiest thing you can eat and cheap as chips. Do the same with veg, it'll last most the week in the fridge. You can have it with beans or falafels or whatever you enjoy eating. You can have oatmeal and organic rice milk for breakfast. Again, veg and oven baked sweet potatos, or oven chips, with what ever you enjoy for protein, for your dinner. Healthy, costs nothing, takes no time to prepare.
I would say you need to look at the whole situation you're in here if you want to get better and reduce your stress. I know it's not so simple because you need to work, study, etc. Is there anything you can do to relieve the pressure? It's up to you. But like I say, I don't doubt this is sustainable. If you don't have your health, then you can have all the dreams in the world, but you don't have anything.
But I am also starting my own online clothe business soon and I’m stressed cuz work is also a starting up small business and I have to be at work daily mom to fri all day and no time for breakfeast cuz I have to take bus and one girl quit 😞
Can no one help you? Can your parents help financially? Could you do another job? My job isn't anything wonderful. But it's in an office, so I can take some small breaks. They're quite flexible. Plus I can just pretend I'm reading emails or something while I'm eating. For lunch I get half an hour. I eat my food in about 10 mins, and go for a nice relaxing walk. Walking is good for peristalsis (your digestion).
Anyway, I haven't missed a day at work for 1.5 years. Now I'm sick and been off for 2.5 weeks. Might have to be off for another week. These things happen. You have to take care of yourself.
But I'm sorry to hear things aren't going so well for you. And yeah, work bitchiness is always a challenge for everyone.
You're only human. You can't do anything. If you think of human history. We used to live in human tribes and close knit families. People would share tasks, people would work hard, but the burden would be shared. Now everyone is expected to be independent. But doing *everything* on your own is nearly impossible.
Last week on one day we worked 6 hours was early day n I had to come in 7am I ate very little oatmeal 10 min at 6am n had to leave fork work , I got dizzy n it was 12:40 noon n I asked girl if we were getting break n she said yes 15 min we never u want we leave today at 1pm...
You look slim, but healthy. I don't seen any signs of being too thin, but you need to start eating more to take care of your body. You don't want to lose any more wight. You are fine now, but that should be a healthy minimum. No less than that.
Eating more will help not only your overall health, but your mood as well. The body isn't the only thing that needs to be fuelled: the mind needs fuel as well and soup and a mini cupcake is not enough.
Not having enough fuel and nutrients will make the stress and tiredness even worse. The body stresses more when it is not getting enough nutrition and I am not surprised you are tired. It's not just your sleep. Your body isn't getting enough food to burn for energy and you are not eating enough, which is why you are losing weight. find the time to take better care of your body and everything else will follow. Proper nutrition is so important.
Oftentimes I prepare things for tomorrow the night before. This can include getting something ready for breakfast before I leave in the morning, as well as lunch and/or snacks to have during the day. If you take 20 minutes of your time before you go to sleep that can make a big difference in being able to be prepared for the day ahead. 🙂
I think I may have seen your question a while ago about the swallowing issue. That is a sign of not getting enough food intake. It could also be something else. I would highly suggest making an appointment with your doctor to see what may be causing that. You can't go on not being able to swallow solid food. That is not a good thing. See your doctor for an assessment.
Yeah, anxiety can cause that. I had SEVERE anxiety from about age 16 through the age of 23. I never had that issue, but I know it can cause that. Have you thought about getting a juicer? That would be a way to get some much needed nutrients into you without having to eat all the solids. 🙂 I don't see a lot of fibre in your diet, so make sure to keep eating beans though if you can. That will help give you the fibre you need as well, which is also important.
I mean professional help you help you with getting over your anxiety. There are ways to overcome it and do it without medication. I am a living example of that. Getting over your anxiety will help you in so many ways in regards to stress, eating and sleeping. But it requires the help of a professional to help you overcome it.
start eating snacks throughout the day and try to remind yourself to eat meals and don't eat one large meal at once because it'll do the opposite of helping you gain weight because it could make you full for hours and you'd end up eating less
well i'd then try to eat before going to work or eat at lunch or sneak in snacks or talk to your manager or something about it or you'll have to try to find a new job that could allow you to eat
On this ongoing fast moving busy schedule do not just depends on casual food have proper meal, it just helps your immune system stronger, make some time for proper meals, it's not that easy but still, and most importantly don't skip meals it might end up with ulcers or so..
😕😕 Well you need to get sleep, it is important you have to sleep As for food, protein shakes are good, but you should not use them if you don't workout. You need to understand that tike is important, if you need help I can help you more, but I would need to know more details.
You're a perfect size and shape for me but you need to eat a decent breakfast I'm a sensible lunch and dinner. Drink plenty of water as well. If you can't eat or have time before you have to get the bus please take a breakfast brunch bar to eat on the bus on the way to work

For lunch I can eat fish and beans and homemade fries for breakfast or oatmeal that’s all I have.
Will I be ok that I didn’t eat breakfeast today? In morning I jus drank a protein shake but I’m tired and weak so sleepy have to wake up at 5am tomorrow
You need to eat a good breakfast not miss out on breakfast and just have protein shakes which are not good for you if that's all you're having. The reason you're so tired and out of breath is you're not taking care of yourself and overdoing it.
You need to make time to have good meals. Take a couple days off and focus on yourself.

I only have weekends off, they will fire me if I take days off. What do I do? Will I be ok? Like today rn it’s 7pm and I just ate some soup, I’m so exhausted I have low breathe I’m jus so tired
You need to eat more, you're not getting the calories your body needs. I'm sure if you sit down with your boss and talk about how you've been feeling and that you're stressed, I'm sure you'll be able to work something out.
I’m tired and hav to cook food for tomorrow I only have bag of fish and bag of potatoes and oatmeal and avacado for this week to eat and beans nothing else
Only thing is eat oatmeal in bus or before I go to work. And drink protein shake while I’m working throughout day, good or not? Because day before I did eat breakfeast b4 work and ate cheese wedges but I’m broke now
