Eating habits

Our brains and our guts are actually connected - the same chemicals (neurotransmitters) are found in both. Also anxiety and mood problems can cause the body to respond in physical ways - either not being able to eat or eating too much. Depression pretty much messes with your whole body sometimes! Your body is so focused on conserving energy to deal with things that it's neglecting the food situation. In the long term, this is definitely not helpful, especially since your brain needs nourishment to keep fighting. Have you tried experimenting with certain 'bland' foods - dry toast, oatmeal, crackers, broth? Even a little bit can go a long way in getting your body used to eating again. I hope things get easier for you soon.

The same thing happened to me. I've been depressed for a few months now. And I never felt like eating I wouldn't feeling hungry and when i would eat something it would make me feel nauseous. I actual lost 6 pounds because of that. So now I'm trying to get better and get healthy again. I try to eat something light but eat more frequently. But I think your appetite will return again when you start to feel better
