Physically declining

[conejo triste]

I used to love food up until recently. Eating is such a chore now. I haven't eaten a full meal all week because I don't feel the need to. I only eat when I'm hungry and when I do, I can only make it through a few bites before storing it in the fridge only to throw it out a few days later.
I've struggled with the physical effects of my mental health for many years (e.g. poor hygiene, oversleeping, heavy body) but this is new. I would be scared, but even then I'm too tired to be concerned.

I have no problem eating but also feeling bad physically more and more lately, I feel like absolute trash in the morning then feeling tired all day.
I guess that the result of being depressed, anxious, never going outside, not working out.

I'm going through something similar. In my case, I have very serious insomnia, and not sleeping makes me feel bad every day. I just don't feel any pleasure in eating anymore. I sincerely hope that you can get better and be happy.

I'm circling the shitter because of chronic physical illness. Unfortunately it's still a long way down and I don't intend to hang on for the duration. Screw that. I see what's ahead and want no part of it. I just hope a loving god doesn't get mad at me for cutting out a little early and cast me off into a burning lake of sulfur where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth for all eternity.

I'm eating "OK", not as much as I once was not all that long ago, but what depression has done more to me is thrown off my entire schedule. I don't sleep well at all, so I often feel the need to take a nap during the day. Well, taking a nap screws me up at night in so much that I am unable to go to bed at a decent hour. It's like everything has "shifted". I'm not at all hungry when I get up in the morning, so when I finally feel like eating something for breakfast, it's around lunchtime. Same goes for any dinner, which I frequently eat near midnight. My whole system is off, including bowel movements, and I have no idea how to get it back on track, or even if it's possible. I've lost quite a bit of weight over the past 6 months or so, and I wasn't heavy by any stretch of that word to start with. I look forward to the day when I won't have to deal with any of this shit.

I also see eating as being a chore, existing here truly can be so dreadful and tiring, it's awful how there is unlimited potential for existing to get even more unbearable.

The problem seems to be neurological rather than purely mental. Did you inform your doctor about this recent development?
