My anxiety makes me have a hard time eating. Any tips or tricks to make it easier? I have been feeling sick most of the time again.

Thank you! Hope you’re well! 😊✨💕

Yes. I think it might be in part because my anxiety but also as a side effect to my new medication

Hello :-)

Eat little and often and try to stay distracted when eating , I know it is not always the right thing to watch TV when eating but if it distracts you then I would till this passes or have the radio on :-)

Take Care x

Drink Ensure. It’s got vitamins and protein and tastes good. You can always tolerate drinking something even when you’re too anxious to eat.

I do have ensure in my fridge! Only 1 left. I should get more and have it on hand.

It’s a lifesaver. You can get it on Amazon. There were while weeks at a time that I lived in it since I couldn’t eat a single thing.
