I'm trying to eat healthy, and I have plans to eat more healthy food but that doesn't always happen. I wonder if I might have ARFID, because while my gender dysphoria is part of the reasons why I have eating problems, along with my mental health problems (sometimes I'm too happy/hypo(manic) and I forget to eat, or I believe my food is being poisoned), most of it is around a lack of appetite and sensory issues. I also find that I have a hard time swallowing things.

I'll buy some pre-made fruit smoothies.

EDIT: I should also mentioned that I grew up not being able to eat much due to food insecurity, which isn't good when I already have eating problems.

I do have a group for trans people that I go to every two weeks so maybe I can talk about it there. I understand that not eating won't really help, and I can also stop my periods with birth control pills. At least until I get on testosterone.
