this isn't an eating disorder, but i do have problems with eating and nowhere else to go for help
im very repulsed by eating meat recently. today i haven't eaten anything because there's like no food in the house besides stuff with meat in it. i could technically make a pizza with no meat on it, but my depression isn't allowing me to clean the kitchen so i guess i'm just not eating.
ive hated eating meat for a long time, but only recently i've started getting intrusive thoughts while eating it, and now i cant eat meat at all. and this isn't ideal, because this isn't a vegetarian household and we can't really afford to be picky with our food. so i guess i'm just stressed about it and pretty hungry since i cant get myself to eat right now
@intellectualBeechwood8141 is someone at home caring for you or are you an adult?
Being vegetarian is actually cheaper and more economical than meat eating. For instance having staples such as lentils and beans can be useful (and inexpensive source of protein compared to meat). Pasta and rice are cheap too but am not sure if you have access to shopping on your own.
30years ago my family slowly got used to me being a vegetarian and eventually they too automatically cut down on meat.
Depression does not help. And you need good food while battling it. Hope you can find support on this.
im an adult, but im not independent/able to care for myself right now
another reason why i don't have vegetarian food is because my mom just straight up doesn't know how to make vegetarian food and i honestly don't know either
just now my family was going to get food and they asked me what i want and i felt like i was being stupid when there was no real option for me since im being so picky. i feel like i should just stop, but im also just really unhappy when i eat meat so i don't know what to do. last night i ate a sandwich with meat in it and i couldn't even eat half of it
update i tried eating meat again and for a while it worked, but yesterday i found myself repulsed again but i ate it anyway. today my family was unable to give me any food since my sister was like "her meat repulsion is back" or something (I didn't hear i was asleep) so im just living off of chips and trail mix.
