Hi everyone,
Since being struck down with anxiety/health anxiety/ depression out of the blue last November I have completely lost my appetite and even my desire to drink fluids. I simply NEVER feel hungry or thirsty. Initially I could manage to eat jars of baby food but I can't even do that anymore now. I literally have to force food down my throat by holding my nose (the smell of food makes me feel sick) and shoving it in and the taking a big gulp of water and swallowing without chewing much if I can. The only thing I can do this with really is bread and porridge so that's what I've been living off for 5 months. I've lost well over 2 stones in weight, I have no energy, and I feel constantly shaky/exhausted. I have just started taking Citalopram 10mg (day 8 today) and that has made me even more nauseated. Any suggestions for appetite improvement before I disappear down the plug hole in the shower?
