baby_butterfly Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 Is there a thing for food depression. I lost some weight which is good because I needed it, but now I feel depressed when I eat good from some trauma from my passed. Did really good for a long time.
.คℓ𝐞ﾒเᏰααα .ᐟ Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 I'm not entirely sure, but I imagine there can be. I know that comfort food is a thing, so I imagine triggering food could also be a thing. I would definitely seek professional guidance about this though. You're close to talking about ED, and that's worrying.
beanbean Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 Yeah I imagine there is for sure you should ask your mental heath people in your area and see if they can help
baby_butterfly Posted June 2 Author Report Posted June 2 Thank, wanted to make sure it didn't sound silly 1
baby_butterfly Posted June 2 Author Report Posted June 2 My whole life my adoptive mom .ade it sound like I was making things up or told me water solved everything, I am sure if I broke and arm she would tell me to drink water before seeing a doctor. I had to find out on my own that I have adhd. Also found out I have seizures too. 1
.คℓ𝐞ﾒเᏰααα .ᐟ Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. I've disowned my own mother for behavior that involves, but not limited to, what you're describing. I hate the "you're fine" mindset so much. I think it would be wise to stop asking her for any kind of advice. She clearly can't provide safe or thoughtful contributions. Your physical and mental health are important for you, even if not for her. Please see your pcp and therapist regularly!

Daddy Bear 77 Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 I am having a little trouble enjoying any food ATM. If I eat at all beyond sated I feel nauseous. Thinking about food makes me nauseous and I won't allow myself any desert or sugar. I love that I'm losing weight and I don't think I'm starving myself, I eat when I'm hungry and don't feel tired despite being very active. I'm a little worried I'm starting to get negative assocation with food.

Yes there actually is, food in some cases can either excite you or make you so depressed because you have to eat It is an actual thing some people have phobias of eating If it's an issue of eating please reach out to your primary care doctor

If this continues make sure you go to your primary care physician, you and I both know the effects that I can cause of not eating Plus you want to make sure there's no underlining reason why You're feeling nauseous when you eat As a friend please don't take your health for granted 1
Daddy Bear 77 Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 (edited) It's just depression and a fear that I'll revert if I allow myself any leeway. I know the amount that I'm losing is unhealthy any under any circumstance but I don't really know what to do about that. I don't want to eat more than I am. I don't feel hungry. I don't seem to be malnourished. It may be a combination of eating better with better portions and my ADHD medicine or something along with the fact that my nervous system has been way activated due to the stress of the breakup. You were really awesome though. Thank you for the concern Edited June 3 by Daddy Bear 77 1
baby_butterfly Posted June 3 Author Report Posted June 3 @Daddy Bear 77 I had this similar issue when I left job corps, I didn't and still don't have an appetite which is weird because I still love food, I just don't get the thought that I feel hungry. Just that it has been a while since i ate and need to eat. 1

Eating better is always a plus, I should learn how instead of being like cookie monster 🤭 1
Daddy Bear 77 Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 My secret was to use the fact that all food tasted like ashes at the start of the breakup to only eat healthy things and get rid of all sugar to radically alter my gut microbiota so they didn't cry out for fats and sugars. 1
MissAnna Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 That's a good idea, just please don't forget that your body still needs food to help fuel you
