Help Not being able to eat or drink

[onewayroad]

As my emotional suffering keeps getting worse I am finding it harder and harder to eat. I have no appetite, I feel sick to my stomach most of the time and when I do eat I often can't keep the food down.

I am not ready to ctb, I have made a commitment to try every treatment available first. So I need to keep on living for a while and to do that I need to eat. I also drink to numb the pain but the combination of having an empty stomach and feeling sick means that I often can't keep alcohol down either.

It's extremely annoying.

Has anyone else experienced this and were you able to resolve it?

I find it hard to eat too, but for physical not mental reasons. It's hard, I make it a goal to eat at least two meals a day and that seems to help

I end up eating too much or too little I set goals as well.

Setting goals seems to be a good idea. I should make it a rule to eat two meals a day at certain times or something.

I know what you mean, it's such a major hassle. If I didn't have to eat I probably still would occasionally as there are foods that I enjoy but for the most part I find it troublesome at best.

What do you hate about it?

Ah, I'm pretty lucky with that because I can't eat most of the time I'm pretty skinny. I hope you're comfortable with how you look, bad body image is the last thing you need when you're suicidally depressed.

Can you drink meal replacement drinks? I have to have these for various reasons. I don't want to eat or drink but this at least sustains you somewhat.
