I struggling to eat anything. I have to make myself it makes me feel sick though which puts me off more any suggestions please ?
I've gone through periods of time in the past where eating was difficult due to my anxiety issues. I guess it depends on what is causing your aversion to eating. In my case, I had a few extended episodes where I was unable to eat because of irrational fears.
I was able to get those fears addressed, and I regained my appetite. I do still notice that when I'm in a particularly anxious state, I lose the desire to eat. So yeah, I suppose my advice would depend on what's causing your lack of appetitie. Is there any specific concern that's preventing you from eating, or do you just feel repulsed by food in general?
Either way, I would recommend talking to a mental health professional if possible, if this is a prolonged issue.
Hi Katherine, I also have had difficulties with eating when I'm in a bout of anxiety and deoression, the weight loss is welcome with me but I know I have to eat.
I made sure I had some breakfast usually a banana and I would eat bits of it at a time rather than whole. Then throughout the day I would eat little but often so as not to feel overwhelmed, I would eat raw vegetables and fruit but only in small quantities, I love chocolate biscuits so would have those also, I struggled with carbs but had toast with loads of jam on it.
I guess what I'm saying is eat small amounts but often and try to keep what you eat as healthy as possible, also as a suggestion perhaps take a multi vitamin tablet just to keep your vitamin levels up whilst your not eating properly.
If making food puts you of them have stuff that doesn't need much prep, a small baked spud, shove it in the oven and leave it til it's ready.
Hope you find it useful. Neil
I'm in the same position 
I can't eat because I feel sick which makes me feel even sicker because my stomachs empty, it's a vicious cycle I know how you feel. Not nice x
Ive just gone off food, makes me feel sick when its in front of me. I do make myself eat it. Ive only been like this since the anxiety attacks. I thnk its when i look at it as a whole instead of little bits.Will it ever come back ?
Could you maybe just eat food, healthy food, that you really like the taste of? Might help. And maybe just put in a bit more effort, I know it's hard, to eat a little more than usual. And keep telling yourself that food will actually be helping you in many ways. Those are things I do when I know I should be eating but lack the appetite.
Ensure or glucerna shakes. Look that up. My life line during heightened anxiety times,
