I'm experiencing some depressive episodes and it's starting to affect me really hard, I have a liver disease so I need to control what I eat and I have to take medicines, the thing is that I don't want to eat, I feel like my stomach is closed and I don't take meds as I should, which is really bad for my health in long term...
Do you know any advice of how to force myself to do this when depression and anxiety hits? I can't talk with my therapist for now so I really need help...
I'm wondering if maybe you could set an alarm and then a reward for after you take your food and meds? Like a hot shower or an ep of a show you enjoy? And maybe prepare food that is extra delicious?
When I have an episode I can't even get out of bed so that's not gonna work for me... Thanks for the advice tho!!
Yeah as I was giving the advice I was thinking that when I've been in my worst depression, that wouldn't work at all, and in fact no advice at all works in any way... all I can do is lie there... some advice that's well meaning but completely misses the mark sometimes makes me cringe a bit so apologies for maybe doing the same to you XD... hoping that the depression eases and releases you a bit soon. Good luck!
Start small! Don’t commit to a huge plate. Just start with something like apple sauce! I’m not sure how your liver disease affects your diet, but when i need to eat i like to eat really basic simple foods.
Got a job interview. Plus my top 3 choice for therapists in my homecity. Overthinking the decisions
