what's the point?

Hi everyone,

I've been in bed most of the past 2 days, just zoning out trying to push away the negative and painful feelings.

I was just thinking probably I should eat today. But honestly I don't want to. I'm not interested in food. Or eating alone. I just found myself wondering what's the point of eating? I can't find one. What's the point of doing a whole bunch of stuff when you don't care and don't feel happy anyway?

I feel the same. I hate eating. I do it since I lost some weight when I first got depressed but I can't lose anymore (T asks me about that stuff), so I mostly eat crap while I lie here and wonder what the point is. So we are pretty much at the same point, I guess.
I don't care about anything, but my cats force me to make sure I take care of their needs a few times a day, and they are nice company. And I do shower since I guess I should.
Otherwise, I have no interest in anything. Hugs to you, I hope you feel better soon.

I feel thaty way about a lot of things, too. But staying in bed not eating for two days - that's worrying.

Wish you could have had dinner with us - bbq pork with kimchi, beansprout salad and egg/mushroom/smofu. The clerk at the Korean grocery store where we got the kimchi recognized me, which was nice. It's a big store, and we've only been there a few times, but she offered me the "point card" - free membership. Fun.

Be kind to yourself, if you can.

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so badly. What kind of weather is there where you live? Would it be possible to go outside for a few minutes? Maybe someone can buy you some dates or nuts. They taste good and don't need any preparation.
I just hope you keep posting. We're pulling for you

You're in my thoughts and prayers

I just talked to my T about that last week and she said to take some multi vitamins. They will help u get what u need and it will also make u want to eat. I havnt tried it yet but that's what she does when she gets that way.

I feel the same way about food a lot of the time. I have a lot of medications to take, and I suffer physically if i don't take them with food. I hate that feeling like I'm gagging to choke something down, only to have a means to digest my medication.

You'd think I'd at least be skinny, but at other times I overeat, just to feel something. So nobody seems to know I have a weird relationship with food.

I like the idea of having some less perishable snacks, I think bharani mentioned it. Just nibble maybe a little at a time, if you can get yourself to do it.

Fluids are more important than food. Sometimes even a glass of juice can help me elevate my mood just enough to do one small task.

Maybe a serving of gatorade or something else with sodium, sugar, and water in it?

Even just a glass of water can be refreshing. Sometimes a drink of water seems to remind my stomach that I need to eat and I start to feel hungry.

I know it's so hard to struggle through this.

I'm going to have some juice, thanks. Good idea. I've been unable to eat a meal all week. I'm so upset /crying, keep having gagging reflexes.
I did get some dates actually and have been making myself eat a handful every day.

It's sunny every single day where I live, but I don't enjoy going outside anymore. I try sometimes, but it does nothing.

Maybe I have an excuse? It's REALLY hot now where I'm living, so also not that comfortable most of the hours of the day

H3rmit, Korean food is probably my favorite. I would go eat it on my own right now, but I'd have been honored to join you for a Korean meal.

Thanks everyone.

I understand the under blanket therapy.
