Eating
Eating feels like a task and I dont know what to do about it. Most the time I dont have any desire to eat, nor the will to figure out what to eat. The whole thing in general just is something i dont enjoy doing most the time. However, I have really bad body dysmorphia and would like to try going to the gym, but i dont ever have the energy for it do to the lack of eating and just always feeling ehh. Ive been trying to get out of the cycle and I had a really good week of eating not long ago but ive since fallen back on making myself do it.

It's important to continue as best as you can.
To look after yourself.
Setting small goals to go to the gym, will allow you to see progress without feeling overwhelmed.
And will allow you to start feeling mire like you 💙

iv been there , what usually helps is making a nice routine
do something you enjoy during mealtimes , ur brain will associate that task with enjoyment, watch a show or read a book or eat with other people and you should probably practice some in home CBT techniques for body dysphoria like ERP , it’s usually used for ocd but it can help
and u can even take a break from the gym if it feels like a task right now , you don’t want it to become depressing and forced so take a while for self care and then when the mental exhaustion has left you can start going with gym buddies
@convivialTangerine4247 Ive never heard of CBT before, I will have to do some research to see what its all about. Thank you for the suggestion💛
