I know not eating a huge sign of depression. But I mean I am taking my meds but I just feel so disappointed in myself that I keep forgetting/not wanting to eat. My friend she gets mad at me to about it XD. I’m always taking vitamins and drinking plenty of fluid and pedialight because I know I’m not eating enough so I’m being careful. I went and bought some you know good “thc” to

Give me an appetite as well lmfao. But even when i smoke it really gets rid of the pain and really boost my mood but even with the feeling to eat I just can’t push myself hard enough to eat enough. I take bites of food it’s good and I say well I’m good now. Basically just tasting food to see what it taste like is how it’s been lately.

Forgetting to eat is something I'm very familiar with. It happens for me in times of extreme stress and dissociation. I have a pad on the kitchen table now and I write down when I have eaten and what I ate. If I'm dissociated, which is no where near as much as it was, I go to the pad and read if I have eaten and what. If I note I haven't eaten then I eat something. I do not have a switch that says I'm hungry I need to eat when I'm under stress. It's he first thing that goes when I'm stressed.

Yea I have a food journal but I’ve been bad about writing in it this last few weeks. I literally was able to cook pasta, put it all away in containers, clean all the dishes the sink counter floor and then don’t even know if I’ve even eaten but I don’t feel hungry 😹. Maybe I am stressed and don’t know it thank you.

i drink smoothies, its easy and when you are too lazy to cook its good. ill put a banana, avocado, oat meal, yogurt, and other fruits, you could also add protein powder.

I also use smoothies a lot when I can't be bothered cooking. Got to be good for you using fruit, yoghurt and milk all raw a good source of energy.
