Does your mental health affect your appetite?

[Sunoo]

Honestly it makes me binge to fill the void then I try to purge it all out and repeat the same thing. But that could just be my ed. I wish my depression made me not want to eat, since it recently made me put on 15 pounds because I feel too sad to actually have the energy to throw it up. I feel like people don't like me anymore including myself. Just wanna sleep forever bc everyday is the same cycle. What about you?

Curiosity of afterlife makes me eat green lentils, white rice, potatoes and water alone.

 

[Darkover]

no my appetite is not effective by my mental health

 

[𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘆]

I used to binge to the point where I gained around 8kg in just few months in hs when I was going through very bad low. Now it's the other way around, it makes me mentally not hungry at all.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Not really. Food is one of the rare things that still make me happy and that I enjoy.

 

[mashka9]

not my mental health itself but the meds i take make me want to throw up every time i eat

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

I don't eat much during bouts of anxiety.

 

[greebo6]

Depression/anxiety makes my appetite decrease.

 

[almondmilk]

yes. after the breakup with my bf, i couldn't eat for a month-ish , and everytime i tried to eat i threw up. now i'm underweight. also hello fellow engene ! my bias is jake

Me either

 

[pole]

most days i feel down and empty.

when I feel this way, I have this need to just eat and eat and eat to fill some type of gaping hole and emptiness on the inside.

i don't know when to stop. most people have a breaking point where they feel full and cannot eat anymore. i don't feel full and i will just continue to devour the food.

i have been doing OMAD and trying my best to kill my binge eating. it's been difficult but i'm making strides. drinking dark coffee has helped a lot.

 

[hi-okbye]

i do experience that sometimes due to depression mainly. sometimes it'll make me want to eat, sometimes it makes me just completly nauseous to the point where i cant eat anything.

 

[tinyghost]

ive had an eating disorder for about 13 years, so id say so haha. when im stressed or depressed my appetite falls. when im planning my suicide or when im in a manic episode i can hardly eat because im so preoccupied. whenever i get released from the hospital i binge like crazy for a few weeks, but i think thats because hospital food is so so bad plus they always rise my dose of antipsychotics.

 

[BlazingBob]

Yes. My anxiety feels like a bomb going off in my stomach and I can't eat even though my stomach is growling. It lets up at night a little.

 

[mia_qwerty]

Yeah I feel sick from the situation I'm in all
The time. I stay in bed til 4pm some days so don't eat til dinner time then snack at night. I used to be so healthy when I was well now it's all sugar and crap

 

[Ashu]

Strangely, no, my misery has never reduced my appetites. Even at my most miserable, even on the days when I made my attempts, food tasted as wonderful as ever, and I would have responded as readily as ever to an invitation to make love.

 

[maddog58]

I'm actually the opposite. My mental health affects my appetite in that it makes me unable to eat at all. Between my depression and my anxiety, my stomach constantly feels tight and leaves me with no appetite which can be tough. When I'm around my close people, I'm able to eat though.

Yeah, I usually do the 16/8 fast and drink plenty of black coffee. I can't do omad , but 16/8 is working out well.

 

[Bad-luck]

Yea it does. A lot. My mental health is crappy right now so I just eat a lot just to think about something else. If it was fine, I wouldn't eat so much.

 

[heavyeyes]

Yeah it does. I don't eat much during depressive episodes

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes, I comfort eat too. I used to have big problems with binge eating where I just felt out of control. I'm slightly better now but still not good. I've put on so much weight the past year. Part of me wonders if I even care that much though- if I do end up CTB. I guess I worry about my corpse being heavy for the poor people who have to come and collect it. Can't say I enjoy feeling so unhealthy either but, food is the major thing I enjoy in life. I'm not willing to give that up at the moment.

 

[ABSOLUTION]

I hate eating no matter how I feel. And making food that isn't a bowl of cereal or some toast.
It's so annoying. But my stomach starts hurting and I cannot get comfortable.
Doesn't help that I cannot taste much, I hope at least that doesn't persist.

 

[tiger b]

I'll always want to eat pussy no matter how I feel.

...what?

 

[Manfrotto99]

Yes I eat alot, I find the act of eating helps to take my mind off things a little, if only for a few minuetes.

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

...what?

Smelly pussy or clean pussy ?

 

[freedompass]

I love my food. Pretty much live to eat. It takes a heck of a lot for me to lose my appetite but it has been known to happen when I had my worst ever months-long episode of agitated depression in 2018. That was…I don't have words. I'm too fat and *should* try to lose it but like someone else said, eating is the only thing left I can really say I enjoy.
