Troubles eating
I've been having really bad anxiety and depression (which is new to me) lately because of some changes going on in my life. I think that it is because of this I'm not able to eat. I haven't had an appetite for the past week or so and the thought of food makes me nauseous, but also if I don't eat I get sick to my stomach. I try to force myself to eat food and it only works sometimes. And of course with my health anxiety im afraid something is wrong with me/im hurting myself. But does anyone else struggle with this? Or am i crazy

i struggle with this a lot too. things that sometimes help me are finding non-problem foods. things like blueberries while you're watching TV or a smoothie with protein powder help. also not trying to eat at regular mealtimes because that gives me food anxiety.
thank you so much i'll try that. not being able to eat is really taking a toll on my body lol 😅
No you are not the “c” word. it is because are going through life changes. The question is- what are you going to do about it? Have you journaled, or reached out to anyone for support?
Ask your regular doctor to prescribe Prilosec. Anxiety causes digestion issues. Also eat plain yogurt of good quality. No cheap brands. Gut health is impacted better. However a prescription for your stomach can help you resume normal eating habits. If your insurance does not cover this then buy an over the counter brand.
I do. The thought of food makes me nauseous. I eat enough just to get by. I hate how skinny I’ve gotten. I would like to gain more weight and eat but it’s challenging. I don’t know if it’s some sort of disorder or what. No one understands
