I was jus wondering if anybody has any tips or help with dealing with anxiety and ARFID .please and thank you. Even if you have an eating disorder, can you tell me what u do when you really don't want to eat, even though you need to?

Currently struggling too. I just force myself to eat something small. But I can't really help bc all I eat anymore is crackers or potatoes, it's gotten bad again 😔. Just know you aren't alone, and message me if you need to or want to

[FuxkRiley in reply to ashleybakerr01]

thank you for the support, it means everything to me. I did indeed message you.

is there something you really enjoy to eat ? When I don’t want to eat I either eat something I really enjoy or drink something like a smoothies or protein shake that way I know I’m at least getting a bit of nutrition .

I also do this. I love potatoes so much I eat them lol. And I drink the chocolate ensure plus, so i know I'll be getting some protein

yes I sometimes like yogurt and bland foods. but even if i like them in times like now, it seems almost impossible to get myself to actually eat. it jus makes me more scared and i push it back.

I understand is there anything you like to drink maybe you can add some nutritional thing to the drink ?

[FuxkRiley in reply to just_keep_swimming]

not really. when i feel like this i just dont want to consume stuff. like again i know i need it but i jus cant get myself to jus go get something, even if its small. Im jus afraid of throwing it back up and being in a deeper hole

[just_keep_swimming in reply to FuxkRiley]

I understand , is there a doctor or a support group specifically for your condition that could help more ?

[FuxkRiley in reply to just_keep_swimming]

yes theres places that deal with it specifically but they cost wayy to much for me, so i decided to try and set up counseling, but its not till the start of next month, so i jus feel like my issues are heightened until then.
