really struggling right now
Help. I’m struggling so bad at the moment. My fear of food has gotten so bad that I don’t see food as food anymore I only see the number of calories in my mind when I see food. I can’t eat or enjoy any type of food anymore. My dog has just died on Thursday and i feel like I’m not coping. Can stress/grief make eating disorders worse? I really don’t know what to do anymore. I miss my dog so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is so painful, and a pet can be like family to some people. That makes the loss of a pet so much more painful.
It is common for our response to impact our appetite or our use of food to change with grief. For some people, having no desire for food, and for others to turn to food for comfort. What's important is to be kind to yourself right now.
I'm glad you've posted and are sharing. Grieving is difficult and dealing with food is difficult as well.
