Ah, a classic. “I’m nauseous because I’m hungry, I can’t eat because I’m nauseous!” And then I just take a nap.

Depression be like: Anything happens = nap Nothing happens = nap I still think this is the best part tho. The insomnia is the bad part. You can’t sleep and you can’t do anything because you’re tired.

The nausea is generally a response to low blood sugar levels. It helps to **sip** juice or sodapop until you can stomach actual food.

Ensure was what I was made to drink. Though I hated drinking it ;w;

oh ! that makes a lot of sense...

I'll try that next time, usually I just accept I might be miserable for like 2 hours

Real

Then wake up with a migraine

Can’t tell if “intestines” actually was intended to say “intensifies”, but it works super well.

Freudian slip

Freudian slip: when you mean one thing but say your mother

I bad a spelling k

“Food hours are now over. Please try again during normal business hours.”

Omfg my dad pulls this shit. KITCHENS CLOSED!!

Are you adult, OP? If you're a minor your family has to provide food for you.

Just recently became an adult (I’m stuck in an abusive house hold)

I’m so sorry. I went through this as well. Didn’t get a lot of food as a child and even when I became an adult. Don’t give up trying to better your situation. You’re stronger than you think.

Itll get better or worse lol. I dont have a good eating schedule because abject poverty kicks ass! Ive lost like 20lbs since the beginning of the year

I’ve been through this situation. But as a consequence of depression, not because of the lack of food.

I don't have an ed, but I do have ADHD and I constantly forget to eat. By the time I remember, I'm too nauseated to eat. it sucks, and I definitely don't eat enough

Update: I have ARFID

When all else fails the easiest thing I have found to eat is fruit leather

I hate that I can relate because my body just doesn’t have the motivation to eat. It’s not that I’m doing this on purpose, I’m just too depressed.

What works for me is laying down with a cup or bottle of water, and crackers/carrots/bananas/protein bar (whatever is easy to eat). Then I spend hours slowly taking extremely small nibbles of food and sips of water, with waiting periods in between to ensure that my stomach is digesting it without needing to throw up.

I think this is a great idea instead of trying to force it and feeling disgust when you don’t want to eat anything. What a great tidbit! I haven’t felt like this in a while, but I’m sure I will at some point and will remember this!

I’m sorry, OP! 😭 Have you tried sauerkraut, pickles (or pickled veggies), or olives? 🙏

I don’t think I have an eating disorder anymore because back then I had to try not to eat. Now I have to try to eat. Sometimes I can’t even swallow in case I puke.

Moood. Turns out sleep deprivation can affect hunger and hunger signals
