Loss of appetite is normal when you're depressed, I think.
For the last few years, I've had to set an alarm that goes off 3 times a day to remind me to eat-- otherwise I just wouldn't ever bother eating because I never feel hungry.

You have to eat though, even if you feel like you'll get sick.
Your body needs proper nutrition if you ever want to feel better.
Eat something healthy, something light, something you like-- and it usually works well.

Same here. :)

I try to eat more often, although it is a hard task for me, I am very thin and I would love to gain a few pounds, I do have apetite, but while eating I wanna stop eating so fast, I really have to work on this, I know it isn't healthy :)

You are not alone with this problem, I am very frustrated by those stupid habits and problems about eating, only way is forcing myself.

I tend to eat more when depressed, but less when stressed. Although I don't eat much overall anyways. If u ever need to talk another ear's open here as well.

yeah I have this problem too. But its more as an affect of my SA. I get the whole dry mouth, knotted stomach feelings that just make me feel not hungry. Currently I am trying to recover from an eating disorder, which I suffered or am still sufferening from for many reasons, one being my anxiety and social anxiety which can be crippling at times. But at my worst point I was close to being classed (on my BMI level) as an anorexic. I never have had an anorexic mentality though. So for health reasons, I just try so hard to eat regularly and substantial amounts just to try to gain weight. It is hard to keep eating and putting on weight though when I feel my anxiety has taken control of me.

We have to try though. Not eating is unhealthy. You can make yourself ill from not eating. I know that ::(:

This has happened to me a few times. I did manage to overcome my depression without any medication. If you need someone to talk to, I'll always be there.

If you feel that you're physically unable to eat, you should go see your doctor.
It may actually be a medical problem worth checking out.

Why is it that you are struggling to eat?

I struggle to eat sometimes when my anxiety levels are high due to SA. My boyfriend told me of this technique the other day: When you are eating a meal, prioritise the food in the meal that is the most necessary to eat...like the vegetables and the protein, then the carbs. This might help.

I find when I'm depressed I eat more :/ Which sucks..... And I binge on junkfood. Which sucks even more.

But when I get really really upset, like anxious, panicky, etc..... I immediately lose my appetite. If I was hungry 30 seconds ago, I completely "forget" this was the case and lose all desire for food. This has happened to me a lot because of incidents in my house that caused me to hide in my room for days on end with a ****load of fear. Oh sorry, I'm rambling now.
