I'm depressed and can't taste anything has anyone felt this

[Red_12]

Hi for like maybe 9 months I haven't been able to taste anything properly. Can kind of taste sweets. Had a healthy burger 🍔 earlier I tasted the mustard I put on it and sort of tasted the relish but didn't really taste the burger. It's hard to eat when you don't taste anything. I don't enjoy it

Their is a condition that can cause this problem, however the way things are Doctors appointments consist of a possible telephone call.

Also when we get older, in my case sixty nine, we seem to also find our taste buds do not taste pick up the taste of food. So you are not alone

Do you suffer Anxiety if so could this be part of your condition ?

The problem with Anxiety you and others seem to be sensitized to your body relating to all or some natural functions.

Try Relaxation Technique Mindfulness, also breathing Exercises, that may direct your mood away from your worries and concerns. If you take medications take them at the right times.

At this time many people have anxiety regards this Pandemic so you are not alone especially if you are stuck indoors with nothing to do

Do you have any Hobbies or diversions you can try, or if you have friends and family could you set up Skype, you will be able to see family etc you can see and talk to

Hey thank you. I'm like 35 didn't eat taste a fillet steak 🥩 a month ago. Glad I'm not the only one yeah have anxiety and depressed. Might try some of that earlier. I take anxiety meds and antidepressants. Yeah always take them.

To be honest the corona isn't bothering me at all. I've a few hobbies will do that. Trouble is sometimes I can't be bothered. I do exercise. Skype is a good idea.

Hope you're doing OK and thank you
