View Full Version : Cannot eat anything
For over a week now I cannot eat anything and when I try I gag and feel sick. It worries me because I used to love my food.

Hi Jayuk how are you feeling ?
I get times like this were i get no appetite can last hours or even days at times i just make myself eat small bits now and then i used to be so worried about it but now am used to it its worse when my anxiety is high as i have no appetite at all it will pass and you will soon be eating again....
Try foods that are light and easy to eat - yoghurt, soups, icecream, fruit. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Also try eating whilst watching TV so you're distracted and it doesn't become such a big thing.
Ok thanks for the advice. How much should I be eating though out the day?
Hey Jay,
Is this lack of appetite related to high levels of anxiety, or is it part of side effects to the medication you started some days ago ?
Just eat as much as you can. Obviously over a long period of time it'll have an effect, but often when people are ill they don't eat for days, so it won't do you any harm short-term. Make sure you drink plenty though. Also, if you can manage milky tea or hot chocolate - something with some nutrients in (even if the hot chocolate isn't healthy lol!) Try not to get too hung up on it, cos I've found the more I worry about needing to eat more, the harder it is.
