No apetite

[skcim]

I have had no appetite for three or four days now, and loathe myself for not eating much, but how can i when i don't feel hungry, this happens quite often and then picks up again, it makes me feel quite poorly. I blame my anxiety and depression for my lack of appetite.... does anyone else see fluctuations in their eating habits when they feel low

Hi I don't see anything wrong in not eating much when you are not hungry, unless you need to put on weight. As long as you eat something then you will be fine. Your moods and depression can affect your appetite but why loathe yourself for it? It isn't your fault is it? x

Oh i was just feeling low yesterday and sorry for myself, ( you know how it is ) so i tend to dislike myself when i feel like that. I do know that not eating much some days does no harm and yes i eat very healthy food when i do get my appetite back. i just don;'t like to lose weight because i was very poorly years ago and lost so much weight i looked dreadful and never want to be like that again. thanks for your reply

I'd think if you are eating something and that something is good quality food then it can't do you much harm. Big weight loss is another story though.

Something to discuss with you GP when you next have an appointment if you are losing g weight.

Hello torchy, hope you are ok today, its nice to chat to like minded people, even if our minds are not how they should be lol! I had an ok day yesterday and went to an Italian for a meal with my Daughter and Granddaughter and then to see a Michael Jackson artist at our local forum, he was very good, the show was excellent, it cheered me up. But today i am feeling pretty low again, i found out last night at the concert that a friend i know had died at the end of september and i didn't know because i am not on facebook i came of it in August and glad i did, his death was a shock to me and has made me feel empty and very sad, so today i am back feeling anxious low and no appetite again. up and down, up and down, it would drive anyone mad. x
