food issues

[hybridtheory]

not sure if this is the right thread to put this under
but i´m having major issues with food. I don´t think i have an eating
disorder because i don´t really care about my weight, but i just can´t eat.
all of it grosses me out, i can barely work up an appetite for anything.
i live alone so i have to make my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it´s
so exhausting. i try eating takeout, but i even get sick of that. i don´t know where
this hatred for food came from, i have to force myself to eat a little something just to
get through the day. it can become extremely difficult.

does anyone else struggle with this?

The last time I resided alone I barely ever cooked. It got pretty bad. I would buy Ensure and I got some Luna and Cliff bars. Perhaps hummos and bread/crackers would be easy to fix. Vegetable juice is good. I ate mostly chicken noodle soup from the can and it wasn't enough calories. It's hard to go to the grocery store and know what to buy. Perhaps cheese quesidillas would be good and easy.

Semi-recently I got on food stamps. I've gained a lot of weight unfortunately. Eating can become a stressor no doubt about it. I hope you can figure out some easy stuff to make.

One thing to make for a healthy meal: fried tofu in pan, asparagus and rice pilaf. Take care. Or get a frozen tray of enchiladas or lasanga.

Something like that has happened to me throughout my whole life. While I still have certain preferences (which quite a few people have questioned but that's not entirely related), I've just never enjoyed food like others, and some of it is due to the effort in preparation. However, I've maintained that if it were possible to not experience the pain of starvation but never eat again, I would be completely fine with that.

Yeah, loss of appetite is a common symptom of depression

I have had this for a lot of my life, but it just comes and goes. Some days eating is really hard work and I have to force myself to eat. It can be unpleasant.

I've an eating disorder. Atypical anorexic. Moreover the meds I am taking make me very fast overweight. So I am barely eating stuff since 1 year. And it is very likely I won't be able to stop taking them...It is horrible.

For a while I lived almost exclusively on bananas.
I could always eat them and they are very digestible ...

Yes, when majorly depressed food tasted like glue to me. When the Zoloft kicked in a started having an appetite again.

Yes. Exactly the same problem. I can eat maybe once a day & I force myself. Sometimes best I can do is an ensure or glucerna. I don't know where this came from, but I've lost about 30-35lbs in the past 2 years. My appetite has been completely broken for 2 years. Probably need to see a doctor. Food gives me anxiety cuz it gets late, I skip meals & I'm never hungry & then I frantically try to figure out wtf to try to eat.
