No appetite

I have dealt with my depression on n off for years and have never had a problem with lack of appetite. If anything I've always been a stress eater. This time tho, I'm having such a hard time eating. I eat once or twice a day, sometimes meals, sometimes snacks and even then I have to force the food down or just eat enough to put something in my stomach. I know this may seem silly to some but this has never happened to me and I've already lost weight because of it. I've always been thick and never had an issue with my body. I would even joke and talk about being a fat girl for life. Now tho, the food just doesn't taste the same. I don't care to eat my favorite snacks or get something from my favorite restaurants. I can make breakfast lunch n dinner and the smells have zero effect on me. If i don't go back to eating how i did before, that's fine. I just don't want to shrivel into nothing and cause more health problems. Any advice or support will help. Thanks

Hi Sacha, whenever I get bouts of anxiety I lose my appetite and nothing can tempt me., I just eat very small amounts to keep healthy. I lose weight as well. Once the anxiety passes all is back to normal. This is one of the main symptoms of anxiety but it won’t last x
