Anxiety causing poor appetite, any tips?

[aymia]

Hi all. My anxiety has gotten terrible lately to the point I have to stay with my family and recover. Lately I have been dealing with poor appetite and eating habits. I eat very healthy but I've had to be very selective of food for the past few weeks. Sometimes I can eat but I have to be selective on what exactly I eat. I can do quite a few foods but others make me feel ill looking at it and if I try to eat it I will gag! Oats is an example of a food that has me gagging and I usually love oats. As well as that I can't eat too much, I have to have very small portions and I know I'm not eating enough at all making it hard to sleep at night too. Any tips at all for this?

Try something like Complan.

When I'm upset the last thing I want to do is eat. Just eat what you enjoy, make cooking fun. I grow my own herbs and cook whatever I feel like. I find new recipes on Facebook, the internet and friends. Going outside and walking in the fresh air will make you hungry and help you sleep.
