Hi not sure how to navigate thru these posts , not that tech savvy. I have anxiety, trouble wanting to cook but need to eat, lost 10lbs, my confidence is not great but wondering if anyone else has similar feelings. I know there’s hope and better days ahead

Hi placid , your doing great, your on this site so you are more tech savvy than you thought☺️. I have problems with cooking and eating too. I'm skinny and I'm over 55 and it's difficult to put weight on. I have CPTSD anxiety and depression from really bad abuse situations, old( childhood) and recent ones. But I reached out to a therapist and it's the best thing I did plus getting on 7 cups . I'm getting better still cry every day but I am making a special effort to be real good to myself and plan meals I like to eat so I will cook. I create artistic stuff as it's meditative for me and helps with my anxiety. I had spaghetti and meatballs today for dinner . Comfort foods is where I'm at! I write alot in my journal too that helps a ton. I hope these ideas will help you, if not at least you know your not alone and someone cares and can relate! I care. Hope is always there.
